Meant to post this a few months ago when I bought it (off a Facebook group) but ended up traveling with work. Just got back.
I believe it may be either an early CAL or Starglove. It's had a new main zip and full lining replacement at some point. VERY solid jacket still and very wearable. One questionable area of sunburn on the back shoulder.
The pocket placement is indeed unusual, but surprisingly useful. It's kinda like having D pockets on either side and it's pretty easy to access the pockets compared to hand warmers. I can see how it's convenient when on a bike.
It came with the original mouton that is a great color but bald in a few places.
Loving this as a daily jacket.

What a find!

Looks really great on you.

What is the significance of the stitching? (forgive my innocence)

What a jacket... Like a high-end Star glove? Let's see if it has any hints of Trojan? Can you share some images of the inner hem? Old Star glove and Early Cal's did an angle hem join to facilitate mobility. Lastly, The lining looks interesting. The batch patch looks like my early Californians. By the way, the jacket looks great on you.

Not too long ago, I believe, There were some images of the same design jacket in this forum. I think it was a Cal or Californian? Truly I do not remember, but there is an original of a man wearing one.

It’s not my jacket, it’s a guy I follow on Instagram from Japan.
