    I found this at a local thrift store yesterday. It has some age (look at little holes nest to where the draw strings are in photo 4), and is heavy & feels well made. It also used to have a zippered interior.
    It has care instructions + a size label inside a leather hook to hang the jacket up by - but no maker's tag!?
    Any idea who made this, when it's actually from and/or any other info/thoughts?
    Thanks all!

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It would be easier to tell if somebody was wearing it, but the style and the loose fit kind of look like 1990s (or maybe late 1980s) to me. Just a guess, though.

    Agree that hard to tell on hanger. Speaking of which... Isn't that fun (and saleable.)

    upload_2020-3-3_9-35-50.jpeg I believe I located it, but, of course, the link was wrong :shifty:

    I believe the brand name is FIRST but I can't find a match to the floral cutouts yet. They were established in 1987...which seems about right.

    Motorcycle jackets are a bit tricky because inspiration retro to begin with. Tags indicate not old, old.

    "Have clean by a professional leather cleaner only" would certainly hint at China.

    A current closet at The Berkeley Hotel. The hanger above is vintage.

    Vintage....early 80's ....I know...I was there !
    I used to walk a couple of blocks over to the Palace to see the changing of the guard !!
    Never got invited in though....
    Then I'd walk all the way to Picadilly Circus.....just to be in the heart of it all !!

    Shoulders on that look late 80s into 90s.

    I wonder who stole that hanger. ;)

    Wish it had been me. Nothing I like better than a comfortable hotel. (Although my coat hanger-stealing days are long behind me.)

    True! I did recently stay in a hotel that had the traditional type of hangers, though. Not like these.

    Four Seasons collectibles very much so, especially now that it is no more. Post the "F," and perhaps we can identify for you. If it's not the Fairmont.
