HD was my first guess as well but I'm probably wrong. No clue but it is too cool! Dat collar... Plus the top sleeve zips and clean back. Excellent stuff.

agreed the collar is cool, also cool are the two studs heads on the back... clean back reminds me of Chicago cop jackets

Very hard to tell from the pics but my gut says either Lawrence or Grais. Based almost entirely on the emerald green quilted liner. I haven't seen that from any other maker than those two.

This is true. My Lawrence Half Belt HH from the 50s has a similar green quilt.

That emerald green quilt is a rare bird. It's really a defining characteristic and I'd bet a maple frosted donut it's a Lawrence.
Whatever it is..it's a bad MF that's for sure.
