Yep, and Appalachian for the south

Unlabeled Ralphs Pugh. Says it's a size large. Pricey.

Price is 1k asking. What is it worth? I'd give $200 for just that collar in excellent condition. This one looks to be Horsehide, also sold in Steerhide like below.

I also have this jacket in HH like new. The finest leather I've had in hand.

How many Star Glove, Cal leathers, Trojans, Schotts do you see from the 40s that look this good and what would they sell for?
Tough when a vintage jackets gets in the 1k range, even when they are worth it.
Why don't I buy it you ask? Well, look at the pictures above, I've got a couple.
I’m pretty sure you can contact the seller for measurements and perhaps to make an offer. You may have to go on the original sites in Japanese as I’m not sure you can do it through the proxy sites. Never tried. I know you can also leave comments so that’s another route.I've pondered over this a few times. It's been there a while. The lack of measurements and inability to make an offer meant I left it alone. I don't want to risk it not fitting at that price, as reselling it might not be easy. Plus there's the added costs of getting from Japan to Europe . Absolutely stunning jacket though, and the collar

I really want one of these. Hard to find 42”-44”.
I have the very same and other jackets with the green California MW labels. They in my view are made by California Sportswear.
That is such a beautiful jacket, the collar is so awesome, goes all the way to the shoulder! Super clean handwarmer pocket stitching, and also just noticed the tiny pocket near the collar as well.I'm not 100% sure that these Ward labeled jackets of this design with the double pointed yokes are made by California Sportswear.
I'm not saying that they're not. Only reason why I question that is because I know for 99.9% certainty that the below Ward labeled jackets of this design are made by CSC.

Just like Ralphs Pugh has a signature back design, so does California Sportswear with this back design, especially the yoke.
Also note the slight differences with the side zips, the pocket size and angle and the button tab closure on the cuffs.
Just like Sears, it's safe to assume that Montgomery Ward had different contracts with different makers for these jackets.
This one just came on. Unlike the last few posted here this one is a true 36. I'd be all over it if it wasn't $1500.

Most of the licensed Schott and Vanson are made in China.These are all made in Japan under license right? I've only ever seen these in Japan and had just assumed they were Vanson in name only.
Wow your like new one is amazing! You’ve never shown that one before, have you?
It looks every bit as nice or nicer than the one I posted from Inspiration that Patty has. Don’t remember the price she was asking but it was no less than $1000.
Yours is worth minimum $1000. It ticks all the boxes.
The one I posted from Japan, not worth the ask price imo. It has the collar going for it though.
Would you mind posting a picture of the cuffs and buttons of your like new one?

Yes, storm cuffs. The hole for the 2nd button is there, just need a buttonThank you.
It’s the same exact cuff design and same exact button as on my straight zip RP and also on the for sale in Japan RP.
Does yours have the inner storm cuff?
Mine just has one button though.
