Sears Leather Shop maker

[Donnieol]

Hello, this is my first post.
I recently started back riding motorcycles and wanted a decent leather jacket so I picked up a Sears Leather Shop with the later white tag size 48 extra tall in good condition that I really like.
I was curious if there is any way to find out who actually made it, I assume Sears didn’t actually make them. I did some searching but most of the info I found was about the older ones.

It has a couple of small tags in the left pocket, one with a 1 written and one with “Cal-002”. The zippers are all EMAR.
It also has the materials and cleaning tag inside.
I really appreciate the great forum, It’s a huge help, I’ve learned a lot.

Thanks
David

At this time, possibly made in Korea? I'm sure it's still a good jacket.

Like @Biff42 said, pretty sure they were made in Korea but I'm not 100% sure and can't find any info on my G1 jacket from Sears/TLS with the same tag as yours.


In the end it doesn't really matter, they are decent to well made jackets with decent leather that I see going for peanuts on the second hand market, a good buy if you want to try out a style for cheap or just want a jacket that you can bash around without being to worried you'll ruin it

Good morning, thanks for the replies.
The cleaning tag says “Professionally leather clean only” and “Made in USA” but no maker.
With the EMAR zippers I think I read somewhere that Excelled used those?

In the end I like the jacket but I do wish it had a couple of pockets inside.

Thanks
David
