What brand could this be?

[Riu]

Hello everyone,

I wonder if anyone has got an idea of what brand is this jacket. I bought it and all it said it's a vintage 1950's and it's got the Steerhide label.

Please excuse my ignorance but I've just discovered this fantastic world and I loved how this jacket looks and I thought I'd buy it, waiting to get it delivered tomorrow.

Many thanks.

Huh, no idea. It's similar to Beck but it's also off in many other details.

Thank you, I'm just hoping it's going to fit anyway

@ton312 might know! Or, when in doubt, it's always Golden Bear! XD

I don’t know but it looks great! The conmar pulls are super cool. The height of the chest pockets and the collar are throwing me for a loop. I’ve seen that steerhide tag on jackets labeled “Gypsy Leather” but those conmars look to predate that company, which was a 70’s-80’s era shop in NYC.

Thank you both for your opinion, it was delivered earlier for my surprise, I got it about half hour ago and sadly it's not a good fit for my disappointment

Such a shame as I really liked it.

Thats too bad
Now that you have it on hand, could you share a few closup pics of the collar and zippers? I wonder what brand those diamond pulls are.

Sure, they're all Talon as I can see

Ditto for collar and pockets. Really nice collar, though.

Remarkable looking jacket in any case. I really like it! What is it lined with?

I haven't seen the wedged shaped Mandarin collar before.

It's satin, the lining is in a very good state. The jacket is in good shape overall, shame that I have to send it back. I thought I would get it right when I saw it but not my lucky day.

That was one of the first things I noticed and liked about it
