I wanted that jacket too. I just can't buy jackets that don't fit me. I've not seen another Californian like this for Sears or anyone else.
It was probably produce early in the 50s, perhaps the first use of this CSC tag. The jacket looks like a throwback to earlier jackets. The button cuffs especially. I'm curious if these cuffs roll up. I will look see if it is in the Sears catalog.
This is the closets jacket I found. 1953 Sears catalog. Your jacket may be this one without the knits. Note: not all Sears jackets were in the catalog.
The pocket design also stands out. A very interesting, unique jacket. Just stands out to me.

Another unique CSC jacket! I continue to be amazed at the variety of styles CSC made. I've never seen one like this. This too, brings back the 30s into the 50s. Amazing! There is another odd CSC on ebay now with a button front. Appears to be a lighter leather too.

Sportclad arrived. Deco Talon zip dated March 1941. Remarkable condition for an 80+ year old capeskin jacket. Has the name of a (supposedly) Japanese American soldier inscribed on the label as well as on a separate piece of cloth that was sewed onto the label. This jacket is supposed to be featured or will be featured in one of the lightning magazines, I didn’t quite understand, but I’ll be on the lookout.

This fabulous Swedish 60’s workwear jacket just arrived. Proxied for a forum member. When I measured it upon arrival it turned out to be too small for him.
P2P 60 cm
Hem 58 cm
Sleeves 65 cm
Shoulders 47 cm
This could be a good fit for someone that’s a 42 or 44 I think. I’ll send it back on Monday but if anyone else here wants it before then, send me a DM.
Beautiful slightly stiff goat leather on this. Very good condition, stitching, leather and lining. DM for details.

I am now starting to realize this. This type of provenance really turns a piece into something more than just a jacket, specially for a guy like him with his story. Wow, just wow!!

RIP Hideo Otsuki. A hero with style.
I'll be very disappointed if we don't get at least one space shuttle out of jeo while he's wearing the jacket.
Jeo better be paging Mr. Musk soon.

Thank you, I appreciate that.
Pretty sure it's a Spaceclad. Jeo has his work set before him.

Some jackets sold, incoming pair of unworn looking 1950s HD pants. Don’t even know if I can rock these, but these were too cool to pass up. Easier to store
