Very Interesting. You don't see many "Zip" branded zippers in Canada; it's usually a Lightening. The other thing that I find interesting is that yours has a distinctly 50s cut with the action back and overall feel while the other 2 examples here are 40s Half-belts. They all have more of a Moto...
I bought this 2022 Horsehide Langlitz a few weeks ago. When it first arrived it appeared brand new, and I don’t know what it was, but I didn’t love it.

I’ve never had a new leather jacket; I’ve...
I’ve actually just noticed that this one is Labelled both “Lightening” and “Canada”, which I haven’t seen.
I LOVE yours….plaid is great, but Navy/Black wool is my favourite for sure.
Thanks @KBlake! It's an early 10 button USN issue with a Brooklyn Naval Factory tag. I had the shoulders and sleeves tailored to make the silhouette a bit less boxy. The construction of the early USN coats is crazy. Very high quality jacket.
There’s a jacket that I really want in Minneapolis, but the seller is a classic cash only, no shipper.
I’ve got $100 USD for you if you’ll snag this thing for me and mail it my way (I’ll pay for the shipping too obviously)
Cheers,
M.
