Can someone identify this jacket?

Alright. I just dug up a family member's vintage jacket and, since it's too big on me, considered selling it. The problem is that I can't identify the jacket and have no prior knowledge of vintage leather jackets. The zippers say Scovill, the buttons say "BRANDED" with a bull, and there's a '42' tag, but nothing else. Can anyone identify it?

Would like to help you out but your photos are way too dark to see anything that might help ID your jacket. Can you resend them?

Check the web for the “ Rook Roughneck Motorcycle Jacket” I found that that’s one of the companies that made a motorcycle jacket with “Branded’ Snaps. I’m sure there may be others as well but that was the first one I found.

Branded is a company that operates out of NYC. They sold jackets under the Branded brand with the bull logo, plus under the name Orchard or something. They also used to have a website with a few items for sale: a G1, A2, and some moto jackets, including the long 3/4 leather coats worn by the NYPD motorcycle and horseback units. The website seems to have vanished. I just looked them up on google and the following streetview dated 2020 indicates they've shut down, or moved. I hope they're still around because their coats were no-frills but well constructed and made from a super-heavy steerhide.

Is that the same Orchard who were a US Government contractor? I see they supplied the’U.S. Cost Guard’.

Been doing some searching around since I saw this and I think you're right! Thanks so much.
