Dude, I've got no idea of the brand. It could be something cool, it could be store brand garbage. There was a tag, but it's come adrift with the washing - although I still have it, it's no longer attached.

You're welcome to first call though, if you're interested.

Did you ever try the Electric Ballroom in Camden town on a Sunday afternoon? They used to have half a dozen stalls with little other than 70s and 80s British bike jackets of this sort of style. Mostly black ,but some blue, all pretty cheap as long as they wren't Lewis(!). Not sure if it's still there or not, though, not been in Camden in an age.

Very nice. Obviously a Lewis-inspired piece; I think I've seen others from Vanson with just a ouch of that too. This looks like a ruggedised version of the Twin-Track Bronx, introduced by Lewis in 1966 as the first MC jacket in the world with the double-track zips, allowing a neater fit or slightly more room to e left when layering underneath in Winter. It's a feature that was popular on a lot of the more modern-style jackets made in the UK during the late 80s / early 90s in the last days of the British mc leather industry as a big deal.
