Canadian very cool vintage piece. Sunburst back, side buckles and Bakelite button cuffs..all good the good stuff but alas as usual most of the cool vintage ones way too small for me.

Pretty rare and looks new, a true beauty (I've never seen a yoke like that)

I quite agree. I love the detail and effort that went into labels of the past. Been more than once that the label was big influence on a jacket or fedora purchase

Another one I’ve had on my watch list for awhile hoping it would somehow get larger but it hasn’t.

Another Canadian that caught a 2nd look because of the label. Not even really leather but a really cool unique label.

If this is really a Thedi, I'm interested...can anyone find the original auction?

Here is a great History of the Albert Richard label. I see now through identical jackets, that Fried Osterman in Milwaukee WI produced jackets for the Sears Company.

I saved this Label for my Label Achieve. I have saved quiet a few through the yeas. I find them as interesting as the garments themselves. I find the Montgomery Ward labels the most interesting and varied, also the most confusing to date. I have been able to use labels to date garments.
