What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

That’s usually a back I associate with LA Sportogs. They also used the same rectangular D rings like CSC on some of their jackets.


CSC made jackets with that back as well but I think only for other labels if I’m not mistaken like that cats eye you pictured.

CSC and LA Sportogs are very closely related which makes sense since they were both LA based. They may have even gotten their hardware from the same place. They also both made the same jackets for the same companies. Here are two examples of a Sears Topline, two by LA Sportogs and one by CSC.

Another one by LA Sportogs


Now one by CSC. Note the double stitch around the hand warmer pocket, one of the CSC trademarks.

Really interesting discussion

@Nacho i own the same jacket as yours but with the zipper.. Doesn’t have a label and I’ve been wondering who might’ve made it.

Thanks to you and @jeo for the great info and photos :)

Thanks. I just ordered a regular size 42 Sheene and put 'with 50s highwayman details' in the notes section.
I also asked for a Highwayman Label, but Aero shot that one down, and I respected that.
So I guess it is still just a Sheene, with custom design features.
The back is a complete new pattern as far as I can tell when compared to my Aero CR, no neck hang issue. I will post some compare photos in that Sheene-Man thread soon.

Big shout out to Julie! She knows what shes doing and is the best.

That seems like big news, no neck-hang issue. Any idea why, or if this new pattern might be making it's way to other patterns?

I love the jacket and own one myself but the "Ramones fit" isn't really a thing. Sleeves just looked shorter on Joey because he was 6'6 wearing regular length jackets. :D

But congrats on the buy! I love those.
