Question Need help identifying HD jacket Year and model

I’m in need of assistance. I recently inherited a house full of various items. Everything from tools, to Harley Davidson Collectibles, etc…

One such item is a HD Leather Jacket that I can’t seem to find the year, and model of it.
It doesn’t fit me but I’m amazed at the condition of the leather and the overall weight of the jacket. I’m going to list for sale, but need help to identify it first.

‘Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It’s nothing special. Just another leather biker jacket.
List it for $100 and take whatever is offered.

Standard police cut. Made in 2002. Don't expect to get rich on it.

I would never have thought it would be this difficult to identify this jacket. Local Harley shop dates it in the 50’s or 60’s.
2 other Harley forums list it as a vintage Cycle Champ and another said it’s a Vintage Heritage. And I can’t find 1 single picture online to match it up to. Any others with advice on it, please message me.

Looks to be a 2002 reproduction of a 40s-50s leather jacket. Those labels were from the 90s-2000s best I recall.

You might get $100 for it, I would start at $150 or less depending on what the well hidden "Made In" tag has on it.

P.S. for the original look up BUCO leather jackets...

Harley did call them the Cycle Champ, but they made those for a while, clearly that's a 2002 manufacture date.
