Never seen one like this. It has a bit of an Arcadia look and feel to it but with the angular stitching instead of the arched piping on the front. Really cool jacket.

Wasn't Lemmy from Motorhead buried in this jacket??????

Lemmy was cremated. His ashes were packed into bullets.

Very nice. Here it is with the California Sportswear label. I have this same jacket in Calf Skin with the Sears Topline label. I believe this is the first Sportclad labeled jacket made by CSC I have documented.

Ebay jacket I tried to buy.

here is the Calf Skin Topline c.1941 This one has slanted pockets to make it a bit different. One of my best vintage jackets.

This talon 'wedding ring' pull is so cool!

Dude, is that true!?!!?!?!?!!! I know they are putting ashes in Tattoo ink......... but Lemmy packed into bullets would be so very Hunter S. Thompsonesque!!!!!!!!!

That CalfSkin Topline looks sooooo mint!!!! Obviously that "Olympic" ring pull is special. I have yet to find a SportClad in like a size.....46 or so. Seems like they only go as big as 42............ These 4 pockets are all really cool. But that CalfSkin looks unworn. Also, you don't see CalfSkin every day. A unique distinction.

Man Terry!!!!!!!! Its crazy how many of these really cool true vintage pieces have passed through your hands. Basically, its like.......if one of us owns a jacket that we think is cool and Terry HAS NOT ALREADY OWNED AND SOLD IT, it might not be that cool after all.........Lol. Similar to when someone says, "I've forgotten more about [insert any subject] than you'll EVER know!!!" So true.

I'm glad that you are active in this thread because while its relatively easy for us to post cool finds/deals we see across the platforms, sometimes there is limited knowledge and context about a certain piece. You can swoop in and add the facts and history of some of these jackets while many of us are just speculating on age, makers etc. We all try to fill in the blanks as best we can but Terry is the Vintage Master!!!

Another "Taste" for those with a "Vested Interest"........

Likelihood that this Vest has been worn shirtless: VERY VERY VERY VERY HIGH.

Ok---THAT is straight bitchen man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO kickass and SO Lemmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I half thought you were joking....... but knowing Lemmy, it still on one hand sounded perfectly reasonable.

Thanks for posting that link!!! The Bonus mention of Riki Rachtman warms the soul.......

Too small for Terry, but a good deal.

Man, if those sleeves were longer.....is that a decent brand?

Image Leathers contracted out many of their jackets, and this one is probably no exception. I think last time one of their jackets was posted here, we said early Golden Bear or possibly even JL. But this style is completely different, so likely another maker is possible as well.
