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.

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

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 ♥️

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!

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/

Next closest, I think. I can't seem to find the right zipper and I'm not sure this has the correct color lining. https://www.ebay.com/itm/820156758712?itmmeta=01M4YN5RAT36RJ5X6RC7Q47WBS&hash=itembef526fab8:g:DZYAAeSwRvdqiRh8&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA4Cq3AKrCmW3ADytK56Q7MFiFlwHMYppotgYLeITBGgm8WKtc1mjtYxBrQOwLP4Cc74lNEEVHVwpTiz3LH9nTmeFYKnYSetXz4FNmZGux%2B5sMkyfpp%2FiH6pCtSXXXK8l0Rd13B8ia6fivbfFvap%2BZPP4AhyhdpOKxNUA%2BGdB0hgjYdh0yTCAV3yPAQx7asCEqfvFg262dIlJQgGunPsaW8R6l15vg4Cm9w2n9Nm5DE1a0zk3wIkU0Cxf3OrCBdepaviBabI0XLTM4dcGaapWTLuTwjf92EMXGrMdYdNV1wLWd%7Ctkp%3ABFBM4oWX1ado

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