I bought this with bad pictures on a hunch. The double stud bars on the epaulets peaked my interest. Tanaka says this is usually on Canadian jackets. It appears to be horsehide and in lovely condition. All six zippers are marked CONMAR. The lining is a blue grey wool,and the size 40 tag is in the chest pocket.

Very Nice! It looks like a Rich Sher to me, or maybe Daniel Boon...

Cn't help with the brand, but I'ds certinly (based on zips, wool lining, overall look) place it as early 50s, best estimate.

No clue but it's a very nice jacket.

And toss that book into a garbage bin.

I think @Mysteryo is right and I lean toward Daniel Boon. The navy wool and red pocket linings. I'd be curious to the length measurement. The Canadian perfecto style jackets were always notably longer, minus Brimaco, who made a couple shorties.

The back length from the collar seam is 23 1/2" , and doesn't feel short....

It is a nice quality jacket in very nice condition. I'm not sure of the maker. Canadian? the lining and interior pocket yes, but not the Conmar zippers. No idea about the shoulder bars.

That is interesting. You guys really know these jackets! I've got a similar un branded plain lined MC jacket.

UK made hardware (Clix, Newey, etc.) was also commonly used on these Canadian motorcycle jackets which makes identification somewhat easier but that of course wasn't always the case. Plenty of Brimaco's out there with Talon or Conmar zippers. Clix zippers are really great. They're the best zippers I've ever had on a jacket even tho I would never call them the prettiest.

Lightning zips were used an a ton of Brimaco jackets. The two way zip lightning zip on their CR was the best part of the jacket LOL.

The "lot" tag looks like Schott's. Was that lot tag a generic label back then?
