In japanese vintage lovers called "Store Brands" some
clothing for workers.
"Store Brands" mean the clothing which was sold Sears,
Montgomery Ward, or J.C.Penney.
These stores have own brands.
For instance...
#Sears had Hercules brand.
#Montgomery Ward had Powrhouse brand.
#J.C.Penney had BIGMAC brand.
Some clothing were made by original equipment manufacturer.
For example...
#Some Sears Roebuck's Hercules brand leather jackets were made
by Buco or RoughWear.
Buco made Sears Roebuck's leather jacket is quoted from "Motorcycle
Leather Jackets" by Rin Tanaka.
Roughwear made Hercules jacket, because some of hercules jacket
are sewed Roughwear's patented label.
#Buco is the famous manufacturer of motorcycle leather jacket
and RoughWear is same as A-2 leather jacket.
There are many mysteries that which manufacture made which brands.
I research that and it's very fun
Because I'm surprised that popular Manufacturers made some of
"Store Brands"
