Zip in Liner, Zipper Pull on the Liner

I am looking for models of leather jackets that have zip in liners where the zipper pull is on the liner & not the jacket.
I have some off brand MC jackets, MAS, where the zipper pulls are on the jacket.
Are Schott, Brooks, etc. jackets with zip in liners configured this way?
TIA

I had a jacket by Kudsak that had what you describe. The jacket was a G1-A2 style crossbred mall jacket but in the days before everything was made in China. This one was made in France and a very high quality back in 1989.
Sorry, not the sort of thing I would take photo's of and I sold it recently. That £200 jacket turned into a £35 sale, not on the dreaded 'Bay' though, a face to face sale.
Worth hunting down but they usually come up on eBay.Fra or whatever the French version is.

My Vanson has zip-in liner zipper pull sewn into the liner, right where the liner connects to the leather, but I'm not sure if this is what you mean.

gtdean48,

Check out the jackets on line at Pop's Leather. I have a G1 from them and it has the zipper pull and female half on the Thinsulate liner, not on the jacket. Only the male part of the zipper remains on the jacket when the liner is removed. Can't recommend Pop's enough.

I have a Schott 644 ( same as the 141, but different leather) the male part is on the jacket and the puller/slider on the liner.

Pop's modern RAF jacket has the option of a zip-out lining IIRC. Good looking, versatile jacket.

I don't think I have ever seen a removable liner where the zipper pull (the part that moves along the zipper) stayed with the jacket when the liner was removed. This would be on Schott, Excelled, Wilson leather, and a few others with names I've forgotten.

Thanks all for the great replies.
I have zip-out liners that are wearable themselves that definitely have zipper pulls.
I have an unlabeled MC jacket that originally had a liner & am looking for brands to consider in my search for a replacement.
Not a very hopeful endeavor & have micro-fleece to layer regardless.
