United Aero-Wear of Minneapolis Minnesota - Info. on this vintage jacket?

[trapp]

Oddly, I cannot find any online info about the maker of this jacket, United Aero-Wear of Minneapolis. Anyone know anything about them? I love the label and it seems an obvious inspiration for the other Aero we know and love.

late 1940s. Aerowear was a sub-line of the United Garment Mfg. Co. of Minneapolis, MN. They also produced woolen sportswear under the Lake-O-Woods label.
