Yeah, the seller sounds like one of us, lol. I have seen two other jackets like this for sale (straight zip CHP with two pleats in the back) - one in Japan, and one in the US, both unlabelled. Maybe a small shop in Cali was making them for cops in the 50s. The only thing with them is a short back - 22". Maybe it would work for @dudewuttheheck . My BIN finger is itching, but I need a 23" back.Stunning, for someone small enough! The description on this suggests the seller knows this stuff well so I’d assume measurements are accurate.

Thanks man, it is an awesome straight zip CHP, for which, as everyone here knows, I am a major sucker. But the 22" back is short for me. I will tag @dudewuttheheck again, might be perfect for him.It is my jacket, and it is in classified for a good price. The jacket is all quality. Most of my stuff sells to Japan where they relist for about double the price. Lmk if you want it
On its way to me. Thanks for posting!
Yeah that CSC has been on for a long time. It’s a women’s jacket.Cool. I thought you would grab that or the one I posted just before. That Blatt looks awesome. Looking forward to seeing it a bit more. Of the lesser known makers, Blatt and Sierra have always interested me.

I’ll definitely post pics when the Blatt gets here.
It might be small for a 40, but those measurements are likely wrong. Either way I’ll be able to wear it. There is an identical one that will fit me perfectly, but nowhere near this nice and it’s $675. At $400 this is the type of jacket I had buy regardless of size.
I’m with you man, makers like Blatt and Grais need more recognition. Sierra is more of a mystery and it needs to be unraveled. Were they a maker, were they just a label?
I have a theory that Blatt (and maybe Grais too) was one of the makers of the Harley Cycle Champ. Hopefully this jacket will give me some insight.
I feel like I should get this, just for the heck of it.

Very cool hope the sizing works out
Thanks for the tag. Sadly the p2p is definitely too small for me. Gorgeous jacket though.Thanks man, it is an awesome straight zip CHP, for which, as everyone here knows, I am a major sucker. But the 22" back is short for me. I will tag @dudewuttheheck again, might be perfect for him.
