Open Stolen Leather Jacket

This is a genuine black leather jacket i got from my Great Uncle's Frank. It was stolen from me, and was the only jacket that really fit right so im trying to find another. I believe it's from the 70's but im not certain. It has a metal zipper, and a Grey lining inside. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My heart hurts reading this story 😔 I'm sending lucky vibes your way. Oh and may great uncle frank send them a BOGO deal on someone's fists real soon.

Also here's something close maybe? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1830005349/guess-genuine-leather-mens-jacket-xxl

Oh my god, I just looked at the link, that is so close. The only thing that's different is the zipper and the cuffs. This might be the model. Thank you so much.

What did the cuffs look like? I'll keep poking around

u/Praise_Cthulhu_8631 15h ago

The cuffs weren't pointed, they were standard circles, with a button. And the zipper was round. I wish I could read what this says.

That's amazing that you have this picture! Fingers crossed someone can decode it, I'm also having a hard time deciphering that

u/Praise_Cthulhu_8631 16h ago

Thank you so much.

Oooookay my friend!!! I've put together a rather unnecessarily long list of options (in no particular order, just the way I found them and copied them into my notes) for you to choose from!! They're close to your jacket, but ofc they will have their own differences and flairs. In an ideal world, I hope you come across your jacket and are able to reunite before winter hits. But in the chance that this isn't how the cards fall, I'll let you puruse some options. Wishing you the best friend ♥️

I can't read this but if anyone can, this might be the brand.

Pelle Studio, a jacket from Wilsons Leather? I am going to scout some listings not but I’m fairly certain that is what the zipper pull says!

100% Pelle Studio on the zipper! Great eye dude!

I think it reada something like Rapid or Rapia(?). That's my best guess. Nor sure about the first word though

u/Praise_Cthulhu_8631 16h ago

I've searched through FB marketplace, secondly hand stores and thrift shops all throughout NYC to no avail. It's probably around an XL in size, real leather from around the 70s. It has a real metal zipper. Grey cotton interior.

I’ve been looking but I haven’t found anything. I did find this website and they seem very serious about their leather jackets though. I’d post here! https://www.thefedoralounge.com/forums/outerwear-and-workwear.4/

I'm sorry this happened to you, I really hope you find the exact same jacket ♥️

Going off of the other commentors, here's a Pelle jacket that looks close, even with the rounded zipper
