I know the owners husband and wife personally of Just Leathers for over twenty five years. They make excellent garments for motorcyclists. The company was started by his farther and has been around since the sixties. I have not spoken to them for a few months so not sure what has happened. Will reach out to them and see if I can shed any light on there status.Happened to run across this brand on Chicago Craigslist. It's not one I have seen before, but the products look pretty durable. Here's the ad I saw:https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/mpo/d/elgin-biker-leather-jacket-california/7143646172.html
Here is the website where the still make them in California - really - another California Leather jacket source still going today?! https://just-leathers.myshopify.com...ducts/mens-police-chp-style-jacket-with-liner
^^ Thanks Alan - sad to see another Family-run business driven out like that. At least they are still online.

Funny that we haven't seen this addressed more often. It's a tricky issue but I think Treeman's right, as sellers who have a good hide almost always want the market to know about it even if it's only a low-grade cowhide. Whenever I see "Real Leather" or its even dodgier cousin "Genuine Leather" I always have to wonder. Why would a seller use either of those terms when they could name the actual kind of beast? Even the average buyer who doesn't know much about leather would feel much more assured if he or she saw the name of the exact hide they were getting, which is why the absence of that info would be cause for concern.
