Need help with dating a leather jacket

hi...
I know very little on dating Leather Jackets and would love to know what you all think about the jacket I currently have in possession. Unfortunately its show no sign of having a name brand tag. It also has no signs of a size tag. The only thing I can say is that it is fairly heavy, with lightweight lining. Hopefully these images are helpful.
Thanks

INSIDE LINING
 
I can tell you it is post 1971 by the content label. Lightening zips were made in Canada and with a bilingual label it was possibly made in Canada or at least made for sale in Canada.

Style wise, I'm leaning towards 80s, but I'm no expert.
 
I agree with Deborah that it's no earlier than '70s but I can't help with dating further than that because it's a classic style - to me, it looks like it might be '80s or even more recent. I wonder about the nylon lining, is that common? Perhaps it suggests that it's earlier rather than later - and I think it's a motorcycle jacket rather than a fashion item, and that too can make it a bit harder to date.

It's a timeless design because it's the real deal. All the features are functional so you can even find jackets styled like that today.

I've got one I wear when I ride and love it!
