From your Fidelity research do you know what era this label was used?

My best guess, and just going by the label, is late 50s at the earliest. Most likely 60s. 60s Fidelity had made in USA labels, which this one does not. But it does say USA, which 40s-50s Labels did not. So maybe a transition label. In that in between timeframe. Plus the owl. I love the owl. My early 50s Fidelity label has the little dude.

The huge main zip does say 60s onward to me.

It’s not a label I have seen on a leather Fidelity jacket.

I do need to find a guidemaster label for my jacket. I’ve seen some non-leather jackets for little money with the label I am looking for.[/QUOTE
Yes I know I've seen some as well in the past. I'll let you know when I run across one again

First Coats and Clark like this I recall seeing. Talon did this long style as far back as 1958. Most zippers followed the Talon lead.
