All, I bought this jacket on ebay several years ago. It was advertised as a 1920's goatskin cafe racer. The goatskin part seems right, though I doubt the 1920's part. There are remnants of a tag. Really nice detailing. Hide is quite thick, though the sleeves are of noticeably different thickness. Can anyone help with info about its age and provenance? Thanks in advance!

Definitely Swedish, it says “Getskinn,” which means goatskin in Swedish. I’m going to guess it’s a Lissman's.
I found some listings with tags that are more intact, and they look very similar.
Lissmans has been around since the 1920s, though I’m not sure about the jacket itself.
