Here's a jacket a friend wants more info about. I am a total ignoramus on the subject, but I hoped some of the people here might be able to shed some light. I believe it's from Korea.

As you can see, the label is virtually illegible.

Thanks!

1980s, no real solid protection, may be desirable if you have a 1980s-90s Japanese sports type motorcycle and want the gear to match, but lots of these available at car boots and flea markets. There is a similar mint one in a local charity shop for £30 but most real bikers want hard protection these days.
This jacket has better protection with the padded shoulders and elbows than a 1960s -70s Lewis Leathers but the difference in value could be £30 Verses £300.
Just my thoughts. J.
