Motorcycle jacket

[Peter Bowden]

Hi
I am hoping that someone will be able to identify the manufacturer of this jacket that I got recently.I imagine that a lot of manufacturers made this style of jacket but I would like to be able to source a liner for it at some point.The only label is a size label- 46.I gave it a really good bath in cold water and let it dry naturally and I love the beast.The inner pocket linings are unusual and maybe give a clue but I don't recall ever seeing these before...usual problem with the main zip pin coming away so I have been pulling it on pre-zipped.Zips work well though after lubing with pencil lead.I found a Lincoln Head Cent in one of the pockets which was nice...
Needs a few stitching repairs mostly on the rear base connection but mostly good to go.
It scratched an itch as I have always loved this classic style but realistically a Langlitz or Cal-Leathers jacket is out of reach!

It's a California Highway Patrol jacket. You're right that there are a lot of makers producing this style. Yours could have been relined. I don't think it's a Cal Leather.

Agreed with the above. Cal snaps would have been bottom up on the belt loops. Might be from an outfit called Just Leathers in San Jose.

I agree with the posts above. Cal Leathers also have visible pocket stitching that runs from the top of the hand warmer pocket horizontally to the center zipper. I don't think it's a Langlitz either because they have an action back rather than the shoulder grommets seen here.
In any case it looks like a nice jacket, congratulations!
