Who made this? Kind of a knockoff feel, but nice Talons all around...https://www.ebay.com/itm/1862366294...rand=Unbranded&_trksid=p3458402.c101506.m1851

I asked the same question a few days ago on this jacket and nobody replied.
It's kinda interesting because there's some other examples like this of a "poor man's version of more well-known designs, but made with lower quality leather (or goatskin?) sort of like what 5* does but with all Talon stuff, so it's probably 1970's made?

Yes, I posted a photo separately since I'm a noob at replying. Many features very similar to the Lancer I used to own. Here are a few more shots...
Yes! There are certainly similarities....thanks for that! The only Lancer I ever owed had the biggest label I'd ever seen sewn better than most labels too.

Possibly a Classic Motorcycle Jacket? Jackets made by a former Langlitz bubba out of his garage. Short-lived but the jackets were pretty good. I had their version of the Columbia
Never knew that bit about Classic Motorcycle Jackets (out of Oregon?). I have one that I bought because I thought it was an ALs. It has a Classic Moto Jackets label but everything about the jacket seems like it was made by ALs. Heaviest jacket I have ever owned.

Here's another with the same back. You guys are good!

Was Lancer a good brand any details you all could share?

That’s the label for sure. Nicer imo than most lancers I have seen/handled. Mine was goatskin I think.

That one does look like an Al’s lol. Let me try to find pictures of my jacket so we can compare.

Ah, now we're getting somewhere I've needed to go! I have a "cal's clone" too, and it weighs a ton, but the jacket has only the missing label glue spot where your Classic Moto label is, and it's the same size, same location.

The CHP style I used to own had the traditional Lancer label under the inside left pocket but the one I posted about only had a small Lancer label behind the neck. I think there used to be a size label attached directly under this label (mine was missing) and the whole label was only attached at the top end.

I do believe it is made by AL's. All the build features match my previous ALs I used to have and was labelled as an AL's. This thing is a beast and it'd be heavier if it weren't for the hole in the lapel and few more on the back =(

Buyee has a 20% off yahoo auctions coupon going. The proxy sites usually only have discounts for the flea market sites like Mercari/Rakuten.
