Mystery M/C Jacket

[BobHufford]

Picked this up in a thrift store. Unfortunately it doesn't fit the current version of me.

No label that I could find other than the size tag. Are there enough clues to go on to determine a maker or is it just too generic. I'm guessing 1970s, but will defer to the experts here on TFL.

Love the fade to brown on some of the panels...

Maybe this blue tip match found in the pocket will narrow it down ...

Not Langlitz, but some of the design elements are similar to their Columbia. Don't think it's Cal either.

The coin pocket is destinctive. That much looks like the coin pocket of my Schott 609. But this doesn't look like Schott otherwise.

How's the leather? Heavy? Thin?

That Talon zipper is old, so whatever it is, it's a pretty cool find for thrifting.

Usually these no name jackets aren't anything special, but they can be decent, and occasionally excellent.

Thanks for giving it a look Guppy and ton312! I was digging through pics on Etsy and saw a Golden Bear that looked pretty similar. Had the same size and pattern to the lining was well.

Was my first thought, too, tho I don't know a whole lot about their styles. Awesome looking jacket! Great condition, really nice.

Had a couple of these over the years. Never one with the winter collar tho. It's a beauty! Phenomenal thrift find for sure.

Thanks ton312. I'm thinking of going back on a diet and getting my bicycle out of storage so that I can maybe keep it. It would look cool on the bicycle ... right?
