Maybe another Blatt? Windward? I'm out of my depth, main zip looks like an Ideal?
I have seen that label on Lost World jackets. It's one of the generic labels. I'm sure they bought NOS. I have seen it on multiple random branded jackets.

Saw that too, I guess the zippers would tell more of the story! Definitely a generic label, but the jacket looks at least 1960's....

Schott has a label that sorta looks similar. I was thinking of who all made the 2 Star jackets but those were made by multiple makers at the time so I don't think that is a slam dunk identifier

Still VERY curious if anyone knows who made this?
Did you happen to snag it??? Appears to have conflicting size tags. 42? 44? I have seen the one tag before (the 42)....... the tags and labels I fear are too generic to rely upon........ If you got it you may be able to provide some additional info once its in your hands.

Something is rotten with that jacket. The size tag alone is bizarre and the generic HH tag looks like it was copped from another jacket. The jacket in question reminds me of the later era JC Penny pattern from the 60’s. Looks to be the last of this line:

And it should’ve had this tag:

The jacket you linked feels like an attempt at a money grab with an HH tag added after death.

Agreed! It’s missing the upper collar snaps to be the same and it’s a generic tag for HH
