IDK, but the Spiegel catalogs in the 80's - 90's were massive catalogs. Mostly geared towards women's apparel. I know, because I worked on them for a few years when I lived in NYC..I'd love to hear your findings on Spiegel. Somewhat smaller and certainly more obscure dept. store chain founded in Chicago. I really wonder who made the jackets. Their catalog was considerably smaller than say, Sears or Monty Wards. Every bit as diverse though. I remember as a kid, when the catalogs would come out, my dad always wanted the Sears and my mom wanted the Spiegel. It was considered a "nicer" store.

Edit: It literally just occurred to me that Sears, Monty Ward and Spiegel were all Chicago based and founded. The jackets must've shared the same provenance.
