Ralphs-Pugh worked in all material. As rare as the Leather jackets are the non-leathers are even more scarce. The zipper helps me date this label. Notice the label: Leather and Cloth Sportswear.

Can't make out the zipper stop. The Slider was used from the late 30s into the late 40s, with some modifications. This is the earliest with the beveled edge The stop is most probably a Sunrise Talon.

This is not a small jacket and looks to be a substantial weight. The Quality will be Top Notch.

Real McCoys does a version of this jacket, probably others. A very plain but popular garment of the 30s-50s.
What is the relation between Top Notch and Ralphs Pugh?

Well done. I thought to do the same... but shipment, taxes, custom duties, etc. make a tiresome path that I want to avoid this time.
At $100, I will buy if I can in any case ! The jacket is amazing, the belt and mouton collar are here.
But I know most of the time these jackets stay in the US. Wish I lived there.

I just see the jacket is sold, the seller was OK for international shipping, but that was too late for me. I suspect a TFL member... :)

I'm sorry about that. Hope the new owner enjoys this glorious Cal!:cool:
