The seller "Axxman" of this jacket has quite the collection, listed on ebay currently. He is very responsive & gets right back to you when/if you have any questions. I don't think he is on FL, but that's a little surprising as many jackets as he buys & sells.
Agreed, I have bought 2-3 jackets from him over the last few years. Easy to work with and very fair. He buys a lot of these bigger sizes for his personal collection, he and I wear the 50-52 ones So it’s worked out good for me.

Probably a buyee link somewhere, and I'm not familiar with the brand at all, but the leather seems pretty cool on this.

Yes, there are undone seams on this RP, and the leather is not in top notch condition either.
I did not check too much the photos, as the jacket is too small for me anyway.
It''s necessary to check everything. There is an other jacket that I found and I am wondering if it's a Seattle Woolen ; it's not in great condition, but not too pricey and it interests me , any idea ?

Ralphs Pugh. In bad shape. S/M. Low starting bid.

Excellent! I bid on that jacket just before I saw your post. It stood out from the crowd and has a Sunrise zipper.

Have you thought the "Levi" jacket I sold you is actually a Ralphs-Pugh? I'm going to study those pictures. I know it has the same buckles.

edit: no different buckles just looked at the pictures. Wow, forgot what a cool jacket that is.

It’s one of my favorite and most prized jackets. I don’t think it was made by RP.

Pretty sure Levi’s had multiple manufacturers make jackets for them.

Levis has a San Francisco connection with Ralphs Pugh and Block Bilt. I’ve seen similarities to Block Bilt but bot really to RP.

California Sportswear is also a likely maker. The cuff design on many Levi’s look like CSC cuffs. Pocket welts too.

Levi’s aviator.

My California Sportswear aviator. Not identical but note the similar hercules-esque back designs with the french seams on both.

This Levi’s looks like a Block Bilt.
