Hey folks, I came across this mysterious and interesting jacket on FB marketplace and was curious on the value and when it was made. I tried to figure out on the internet if the jacket was a hit or miss but no luck for me yet. The brand is Mr. Gentleman and seems to have a main nickel talon zipper. All suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks all!

I've never seen this brand before, but it does have French seams and the label looks period from the distance (50s?). Hopefully better TFL detectives will chime in here.
PS - please do not ask for valuation.

A repro in one of my favorite styles- Sears Hercules… I like lighter leathers in my climate, so if the price is right, give it a go.

An odd, interesting jacket. It has the markings of a 1930s jacket, the main Talon and the Ball and chain pocket zipper. Never heard of this label. I'm not sure what type of leather? All the French seams are also interesting.
