Now THAT is cool. What's a modern jacket brand/style that would age similar to these pics?

I suppose many high end japanese makers are trying to emulate this , sometimes with very good results. It's tempting to say that in the end, nothing is better than "the real thing", but who knows? Maybe Langlitz (who's big in Japan) took some cues from japanese makers to achieve what is seen in the picture. There's some kind of positive competition going on here that reminds me of what happened in cinema in the early 1960's. Up to then, Japanese filmakers like Akira Kurosawa had been admiring american filmakers like John Ford, and applied some of the western tropes to the samurai film (conversely, John Ford also admired Kurosawa). Suddenly, a new generation decided to push the envelope, making extremely stylised (and violent) samurai films that blew the minds of filmakers all around the world. Sergio Leone was one of them, and he took inspiration from the japanese to invent his own take on the genre that would be known as the spaghetti western.

Great, unexpected answer. Thanks!

Not an Eaglesons. Those were made by American Sportswear. As you can see on the jacket below, it has the American Sportswear leather label. Same one you see on the Durable copies.

And here’s the American Sportswear version. Same details. Note the uniquely shaped badge holder.

Not many other CHPs with a double stitch around the pockets. Doesn’t look like a Lewis Leather Holsters to me. My guess would be Brooks.

Nice!

Don't think I’ve seen this one before. Probably made by a different maker. Do you have a close up of the labels on this guy?

Eagleson's was based out of San Fran. So may be any number of makers.

From 1931 San Francisco Chronicle. Also had stores in LA.

Maker? The jacket does appear to have a 40s Conmar zipper.
