Sportclad Aviator (I think). Not sure about the condition or if this is a good vintage, but you guys will know. Size 40.

Thanks for posting. This JC Penney Sportclad is very likely wartime issue. The zipper and stop box are from that era. That is a 40s label. Has the look and wear of being 80 years old. Looks like California Sportswear make. Not a ladies jacket, small men's 38. The poor condition should be reflected in the final price. To me, a parts jacket.

Always nice to see a 40s Aviator. The quilted lining is somewhat unusual in this style. That makes it a bit unique, but also makes it fit smaller. The "plain" cuffs are boring to me, but hey show up more often in the war years.

Prior to the war CSC used "roll up cuffs" with an interior button. I've had a pre-war CSC Aviator with zip sleeves! Many pre-war jackets used straps, or two button closures. The War was the end of a lot of those features.
