I'm not really all that familiar with older makers, but if it helps at all, the jacket looks to have diamond Talon zippers on the chest pockets, which would mean 1940s-1950s. I cannot make out the zipper and its pull box, but you could post a picture or look at it yourself to compare it to this thread, which would help further with the dating.

I’m thinking it’s an early HH Fidelity or Excelled. Leaning toward Fidelity though. The snap belt leads me to believe that. Hard to say though.

Hm, I'd say it's something much older. Never saw a Fidelity with a cord lined hem & red lining myself and especially not one without pocket zipper piping. I think pockets like that went out of style before the 60's but that's just guessing on my part.

I would be inclined to believe that this is a very good example of a true 50's Guide Master by Wolf Outerwear if it wasn't for the separate kidney panel on the back. All the Guide Master jackets that I've seen had a clean, single piece back. So I can't say for sure but it's a close call.

Maybe @Mysteryo can shed some light on the matter?

Guide Master is also the first thing that came to my mind.

Maybe @Mysteryo can help?

Edit: just noticed you already turned on the "Mysteryo bat sign", my bad
