That’s a steal

No what I posted is a Natal but the pattern and leather are the same on Vikings Kerr. Clearly there is a discernable difference in the jacket Viking posted and the one you posted. There is "some connection" between Kerr, Natal and Walyer Dyer I believe. I can't say what it is but they all offered the same patterns, in the same leathers, at certain points in time.

All were located in Massachusetts as well.

California Creations

What do you (we) think of their jackets?
Comparable to...?

Love ‘em! Certainly better than Schott, and below Cal…

Good quality, well made, often a good deal on the secondhand market.

Thanks Guppy, what would you liken the quality too?

Probably the closest I could compare to would be Branded Garments and Natal/Natel. Except the leather is not as heavy.

 

[Bluechel]

The "Orange letter Natal" jackets are just heavy! They are both beautiful jackets, but with Cal Creations you really have to look carefully at the photos because the newer ones are NOT as classic nice as the older versions. Likewise, I still will enjoy a Natal versus the Natel every time. All of them are certainly nice choices for a daily wear jacket, even for riding.

 

[Bluechel]

Branded is the same, beware the newer stuff and try to get the "gold lettering" label or Orchard M/C for the best versions....

Some of the CC gear is water Buffalo. Not knocking it, I don’t mind it, but putting it out there.

Yes, this is very rarely seen. Once every year or two, I'd say. I have one, nice, firm horsehide. Broken zipper is a concern, but they are broken on most of them. I replaced mine with a #10 Talon. I'd recommend this jacket without reservations.

Price can be lower as an offer, so close to a reasonable deal!

Cool jacket, nice grain on the leather and very simple design.

Anyone have any clues as to the maker?
