Who made this jacket?

I'm curious about this jacket worn regularly by Billy Bob Thornton. Anyone know who made it? You can see a made in USA label down below.

I think it's an East-West Musical Instruments jacket. That vertical tag looks just like theirs. Plus it also has their funky 60s/70s vibe to it.

Wow, yep looks like the E-W style. Thank you. Can't find the exact model but the tailoring and pockets are very close to other styles. This is one of their more conservative ones.

pretty sure that's the Driftr (correct spelling)
i like some of their jackets very much but really difficult finding one that'll fit ; )

Wow, Mike. Continuing the tradition. I'm not funky enough to wear one but they are nice.

Yes, it is the Driftr - I found it on ebay with the same label except the leather was an orange/tan. Comes with a stash pocket under the collar. No use to me since coffee is the strongest substance I use these days. Thanks Guitar. I love having answers to these questions so quickly.

When I first saw Thornton in this jacket I thought it was too new looking to be vintage and guessed that a retro 1970's inspired maker was at work like Handy Mike's amazing work by Romulus.

Looks like something out of a Starsky and Hutch episode. Very 70's vibe.
