Johnsons Cross-Zip unknown model/age

[AeroFan_07]

I snatched up a Johnson's Leathers crosszip jacket a few weeks back off the bay, it is a neat jacket in very nice shape, however I cannot seem to find much for details on the model itself. Seems to have a 80's or ealy 90's vibe given some of the details on the back.

Nice, fairly heavy steerhide with some good graining showing. Has some light color variation apparent. Has a clean, still very new leather scent. There are two sets of pin holes in the lower patels as noted in the photos. Other than that very little obvious flaws.

This jacket has a quilted liner, however rather oddly, no size tag in the jacket. It is sadly too tight for me thoough the waist - torso area. I cannot get it zipped. It's already spoken for, but thought I would do a quick review on it.

@Alan@JohnsonLeather may know best about model and age.

This jacket is our MB-500 in about a 3.5-3.75oz cowhide. Often customers pull out the sizing tag not sure why.

That label is the second one we ever used from about the 84 until the late 90"s. We did a limited run of jackets a few years ago to celebrate our 38th year and used that label. I can splice in new side panels where the lacing is and give you about 5" to the lower chest, waist and bottom.
