Side zips? California Sportswear for Montgomery Ward c.1950. I have this with a MW label and no label. I don't know that I have ever seen this jacket with a California Sportswear label. Probably an exclusive for MW label, so not sold with a CSC label.
These jackets appear and disappear around 1950. An interesting combination of old 40s half belt back, Aviation with a motorcycle touch. End of an era for this style. I've seen it pictured in a fur collar. The very interesting side zips give it a unique look and fit.
Just realized the "Cats Eye" jacket is also a CSC jacket that only appears with this MW label or no label. Again, never seen with a CSC label. Another of the Vanishing breed around 1950

Just placed an order for another Aero Shackleton - this time in their new chocolate brown roughout goat suede…with horn buttons rather than the leather footballs.

That doesn’t look on par with any RMC I have seen and definitely not when I compare it to my own, but it does look better then an Aero. What a cool jacket!This Diesel just landed and while I plan on flipping it as it's too large for me (plus I don't wear these anymore), the quality is in all honesty and seriousness on par with any RMC and above Aero. Shocking how quality this jacket is & especially the leather.

Stitching honestly looks a bit sloppy in places especially compared to RMC. I'm not an RMC fan boy, actually a bit the opposite after an unfortunate experience with one of their jackets, but I cannot deny their stitching is better than what I see on this jacket. I agree though, really cool jacket and I love the leather.

@Kenan , @Observe ; The stitching definitely isn't on the level of current RMC's precisions, not even close (and the white thread making it much more obvious doesn't help) but the leather & the built is. The jacket feels much closer in overall quality to RMC than to Aero or such jackets, that's more what I meant.
I'm just amazed Diesel could just low-key build such jacket without us knowing about and I'd definitely pick it over anything sans RMC.
Also, it reminds me a lot of RMC's pre-Japan quality, back when they were NZ based. Those jackets are also fantastic albeit with a bit less class to them.

Okay then, I'm stupid & don't know anything about leather jackets after 15 years of handling thousands of jackets or am lying for literally no reason at all. That's fine, too.

Sure thing man!If you decided to part with that again let me know
At this point just waiting for the fit. It SHOULD be good but you know how it goes
Some better pics of the Reg built two tone. The Herman Oak steer is insanely robust with Buffalo like grain. It feels remarkably sturdy for veg tanned leather. I also appreciate that each pattern is unique. Most makers seem to build off one block and tweak it. This jacket is entirely different from my Windward.
