Easily my biggest regret is not getting this Sears Topline, sold for a crazy price in this condition about $280 (looks pretty much mint, save for a small hole in the leather)

This almost has the look of a mall jacket that someone replaced the liner on. Sears Topline was short lived in the early 40’s from roughly 1940-1943. They were fancier jackets, not this simplified almost late 50’s looking type of m/c jacket. Leather looks good on it, but it does not look early 40’s. Do you have any more pictures of this guy?

That does make a lot of sense and would explain the price and condition. I've attached the full set of photos. Interesting, the YKK zip looks very weird to me.
