Great research and write up/review there sir Nacho. Love these braid trim Sears MC jackets but haven’t yet been in the right place at the right time for one in my size.Other than that, this jacket definitely has that cool factor thanks to the braided trim even though the design is just the typical MC jacket.
What I would say though is the selected cowhide. It's the nicest cowhide I've ever touched. Has a smooth feel to it, almost like pony hide imo. I've a Sears Map pocket steerhide made by Appalachian, but it feels thin and not as robust as this CSC cowhide. That goes to show the different level between makers.

The main zipper is a replacement on this dude. It's a LENZIP. I believe it was done way back in the days and not recently. And it was a pretty good job too. I only spotted 2 missing holes. The rest of the zippers are your typical diamond pull Talons. Snaps work well. No complaints on the hardware.
Stitching is also clean on this dude. A few uneven spots here and there. But that's expected for vintage leathers. And that's why we love them.

So that's my thoughts for this Sears Braided Trim MC. This mini-review might change in the future.
These jackets are quite rare to come around, but I was lucky enough to the at the right place and the right time to purchase this one. Despite a few shortcomings, I absolutely love it.
I'd love to see review on other versions though. The C2 version is such a doozy.
Hope you find this one useful.
Cheers!
