    Montgomery Ward (Windward) Motorcycle Jacket History 1947-1963

    Sears Motorcylce Jacket History 1949-1963

    Clearly the one in your post is a 1949-50 man's jacket, but a black rayon lined horsehide jacket with that back is shown in the 1950 catalog, women section: No idea on the maker.

    @Wildhorses, I'm starting to think that your guess is correct. A very similar label:

    I had thought the same, but the other MW labels I have seen are always explicitly mentioning the full name, and I saw a very similar steerhide label on a RP, so I guessed RP. But your point is good, and you could be right. @tmitchell59, could this be another link between MW and RP?

    J.C.Penney (Sportclad) Motorcycle Jacket History 1947-1963

    Not 100% pertinent, but still relevant, I guess (I can see this being used by a rider). Putting it here mainly for the very early label, but can be moved elsewhere if required. Earliest JC Penney leather jacket (coat) I've seen, 20s (probably) horsehide, currently on ebay...
