i know there are a lot of very knowledgable people on this forum when it comes to vintage leathers so thought i would ask... this jacket has some traits that i recall seeing before but i cant think of what brand i saw it on. the chain hanging strap in the collar, the double snaps on the epaulets, the snap belt rather than buckle, the full back panel rather than a lower rocker panel, the external key/change pocket, and the quilting inside is stitched in straight vertical lines rather than the more common diamond pattern. talon zippers main and sleeves. anyone know the brand and maybe even what era? there are no tags inside any pockets.

Fidelity indeed. Doesn't the Pepsi-can Talon pull indicate it's 60s?

Fidelity, pattern looks like an Indian Ranger.

I went by this chart in my earlier post. Could be 60s or 70s based on this. Nice jacket, definitely true vintage, not top shelf, but a nice Fidelity daily wearer.
