Need help with a jacket ID

[Modified_last_call]

Picked up this jacket on an online auction.
Very little in terms of the description. No markings at all. Talon zippers and Rau Fasteners.
It showed up pretty dirty, both inside and out. Two star, one was removed or lost.

Pretty evident that it was used to ride.
Looks like a 60's era jacket, steer?
The horizontal banding at the waist looks kinda like a Durable, but I have no clue.
Here it is cleaned. Any ideas?

Seems like a Sears jacket to me.

The red nylon lining says 50s. Not a Durable. Very nice looking jacket. Probably from one of the Catalogs.

Construction methods and lining appear to be 50's The belt buckle was often used during that time. Please if you can send an one image of the back of the slider and the zipper's tape. By the way, nice and clean jacket.

Some design elements made me think of this horsehide Windward which I think is an early - mid 50s jacket.

Initially, I thought it was very similar to a Windward.
But the waist banding and the epaulets were very different design features.

Firstly, thank you all for your opinions.
I sincerely appreciate your insights.

Here are a couple of pictures of the back of the slider and the tape.

The design of that zipper is before 1956. Same as some of the j24 bucos and others similar of that time.

Impressive that you can date a jacket solely on the zipper design.
Thank you

I know I’ve seen this jacket before. I’ll check my archives to see if I have a pic with a label, but I agree with @tmitchell59 that it’s a catalog jacket and my money would be on MW.

Btw, where in Bucks County are you? I grew up in Yardley and live in Philly.

I have long been curious about the timeline of 50s zippers. What distinguishes this as pre-1956?

Quilt lining pattern is different as well as the epaulets but it's close enough for me to say it's a MW Windward. It even has the same stitch line on the top of the kidney panel.

Super. Thanks @jeo
Shame I won't be able to wear it, it's laughably short on me at about 22"
Fits like a 42, which typically works for me.
Next pint at Monks is on me.
