I went to Japan, tried on jackets from every Japanese maker you can think of, and I'm bringing a Schott home with me lol. Well, at least the leather came from a Japanese tannery .
Funny isn't it, going to Japan and buying a USA made jacket.You are So Lucky to get to go to Japan and then try on all the manufacturers that are located in Japan.
I was also looking at that wool halfbelt. It's a nice looking jacket. Enjoy it.Saw the Aero Sale thread from @MrProper first thing this morning and finally caved after watching these for quite some time:

Thanks! I have watched it for a while and have come close to pulling the trigger during past sale(s). I also liked the Aeromarine but the dimensions on this halfbelt should fit me better.I was also looking at that wool halfbelt. It's a nice looking jacket. Enjoy it.
Thank you. I agree that these mixed leather + wool pieces are an interesting style.It’s very nice looking. So Cool!

Well, I did a little search about Lesco, especially 'cause many times I find their jackets in almost every vintage store I visit. But nothing better than rescuing the post of @Gamma68 talking about their history.Very Nice Find! Do you know anything about the History of Lesco. I know they used heavy leather and High Quality Hard Wear making their Jackets. Look like from the 1970’s?
What a tease.... Showing a sliver....
