Hello everybody,
First i must tell u that i'm french and i'm far from English fluent so i may do some mistakes.
I was looking for help to identify a jacket i bought some weeks ago and i found this awesome forum.
So let's talk about the jacket, all zippers are "Scovill", even the snaps are tagged "Scovill", i found nothing about Scovill zippers on internet except that it is "vintage".
The leather look like horsehide but i'm not sure it is.
Originally there was a removable collar and removable lining but i don't own them.

I hope that you will be able to help me :)
Thx in advance

Pictures would help especially if the jacket has labels

lol yeah, you seriously need to post some photos of it. We don't even know what style of jacket it is that we're talking about here.

Nice jacket! Really hard to say for sure..Could be Branded Garments, San Jose leather, Park IV, maybe even Lancer leathers? I don't know. No tags huh?

Thanks :)
2 tickets , one in a pocket "size 44", and one inside the jacket "genuine leather, lining :100% nylon...."
But nothing that can help identifying the brand
I added 5-6 more pictures to my imgur album (lining, pockets, tickets...)

I had a Schott in a very similar style - they don’t make it anymore. I’ll check it out and get back - nope not the same.
