Campus Horsehide Jacket

[MooDeng]

Hello! Just stumbled upon this Horsehide campus jacket!

Can someone ID this brand at all? There’s a label “Campus Horsehide” poorly stitched but I don’t think it’s the brand logo, it’s probably ripped off.

Thanks so much!

Looks like a Campus brand jacket. The front piping. Label probably came loose. Early 50s horsehide half-belt. Nice find.

Thank you Terry! What an honor to have you commented on my post! ✌
I wish it was a tea core jacket

I was the 1st. I forget I have a similar jacket. There are many examples here. They are recognized by that front. I was guessing at the age. Post a pic of the zipper pull and stop box.

Would like to know the maker for Campus labeled jackets. The leather jackets go back to the late 30s, though most seen are later. The Campus name was big even when I was young in the 60s. They were considered quality label.

Posted! I have never seen any zipper like this, perhaps I am too new

I see! The label on mine is pretty poorly stitched I also tried to look on EBay but I don’t see many are available or sold.

Is it because of the original color of the Horsehide you think?

Speaking of Campus jackets...This is the only motorcycle jacket with a Campus label I have seen. Most interesting. This one is Steerhide.
