Looking for information on a 70's leather jacket

[JP Butkovich]

I know nothing about fashion, let alone vintage fashion. I have come across a leather jacket that belonged to my father, and have had zero luck in researching it's origins or value. All I know is that is was purchased in the early 1970's at a local mall (Pittsburgh suburbs). I am not thinking that it is worth much but would like to know if it is worth something to someone before I send to goodwill or salvation army. The only tag reads standard sportswear (pics below) not a brand found in the archives of this site. I have found some evidence that, that was the name of (the/a) store at a local mall. Any advice or direction on where to find answers would be greatly appreciated. There are a few vintage clothing stores in and around town that I have thought of visiting but did not want to go and find out after the fact it was worth something more than I got. I am not trying to get rich or anything and I am pretty sure that it is the only item of clothing in my house that might be worth something, but if it is worth something I could use the cash. I am not going to ever wear it, maybe Halloween, so even if someone here has interest I would consider giving it up for the cost of shipping. The pictures are not great, but it has very little wear, a bit dusty and I don't thing my dad wore it much if at all. Thanks in advance for any help JP

Hi JP,
Nice coat. The belted look was very popular in the 70s. Unfortunately the VFG cannot authenticate or price items: a professional appraiser needs to see the item in person. I am not familiar with this label. But I will say that I currently see a lot of 70s leather coat being offered for sale. Did your online price search included eBay "solds"? If not I would suggest doing an eBay sold search of similar items. You could also visit the vintage stores in your area w/o your coat just see what their leather coats are selling for. Good luck!
