Thanks mr frown and graemsay for the information. Japanese brands are interesting but man are they pricey.
Shearling lined sleeves?
Regardless, this bad boy will NOT last long at that price!!!!
DeDiedro artwok ? As the young 'uns say . ''yeah...but nah.."
Now this IS back artwork on a Brando style crosszip jacket. Jacket is Walden Miller of South Australia heavy steerhide. Promo jacket from a movie release.
"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" , Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro.
This is one of my collection , size 46 "Australian"

Hi everyone, this is more of a question and not really a find (although I did find it and it could be a deal), but does anyone know what jacket manufacturer this is? I'm thinking it could be a Cal leather by the back, but my vintage leather knowledge is really limited. The seller has been incredibly slow to respond and isn't really taking the time to give good pictures, but they did mention they cannot find any tags inside the jacket indicating the brand. If this is better suited for another thread, please let me know. Thanks!
@JMax You feeling fabulous? OG DeDiedro artwork would look great on the bike!

Some good points. I'm thinking it probably is not a Cal Leather. The waistband on this jacket looks very different than the Cals I own. All my Cal Leathers have just 4 rows of stitching, with middle lines of stitching closer together in the kidney belt portion of the jacket. And the kidney portion on the back of the jacket doesn't dip as far down on my Cals. But again, the best person to ask is Gwen at Cal Leather.While most Cals have belt loops that snap from the bottom up, it isn’t always the case. But the stitching on the reinforced bottom hem looks different from all the Cals I’ve owned. As do the two seams along the back of the arm that originate from the back yoke (underarm footballs are not common as far as I know on Cals). It could be a modified or custom Cal I guess. What are the pockets lined with and are they marked in any way? Cuffs lined? More pics would help- One with the mouton collar removed. Nice jacket either way. The best option would be to email Gwen at Cal. She can set us all straight.

Looks like the right back panel is the mismatched piece... Is there any way of knowing how / when / which mismatched-grain jackets will "even out" with wear over time?Here's a Premier Half Belt from their Sale Page which is slightly mismatched...I can't recognize it...
They call that a 38 with 16.25in shouldersI still don't know why most Aero fans either like their heavy CXL or mid-weight Vicenza HH (perhaps also battered tan HH) whereas their mid-weight Jerky HH is IMO much nicer than Vicenza (lots of grain, don't needs a lot of break-in, semi-supple right out of the box, etc.). You hardly see any Aero jackets made of this beautiful HH - IMO it's a pity. Unfortunately I had to sell my too large black Aeromarine (from their Sale page) a while ago.

Their new pattern appear to be targeted at the japanese market. That new halfbelt, the Everydayman or w/e it is called, has like 16" shoulders in a size 40. Super odd.They call that a 38 with 16.25in shoulders
