    50s Cal teacore black size 44ish

    That's cool. I'm actually pretty conflicted about parting with mine anyway - perhaps I won't after all!

    It's a long shot, but the Cal I have for SOT a bit further down the forum is 27" long...

    WTT: Cal-Leather CHP size 44 for G1 or B10

    I'll also sell outright if that's OK with the forum rules - I'd like to edit the title but I don't seem to be able to do it. Anyway, I'd be looking for £275 and I'd throw in UK postage. I would dearly love a B-10, though...

    WTT: Cal-Leather CHP size 44 for G1 or B10

    This is a lovely Cal-Leather CHP jacket I bought last year. It fits like a glove but my life has - thanks to the Pandemic - veered away from the carefree life of a boulevardier to a full-time chef and this jacket will probably stay in my wardrobe for the foreseeable. I've also just acquired a...

    Cal-Leather On The Way

    The thing is, it’s just incredibly... cool. It would have fit me better last spring, that’s for sure o_O But it’s always nice to buy something based on photos and a description, and have it actually work for a change!

    Cal-Leather On The Way

    All the way from Cali, the Cal arrived today. It’s probably the nicest jacket I’ve ever worn - the leather is incredible. It has the outlines of not one but two badge-holders! And it sort of fits me, though I need to shed many Lockdown pounds and the jacket isn’t flattered by what’s wearing it...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Found this on Grailed - bought it, but seller decided not to ship to the UK, so refunded me. It’s disappeared but I expect it will be back . I reckon it’s a Cal-Leathers, made for FirstGear. Damn - it was soooo cheap....

    Cal-Leather On The Way

    I think it was the stitch holes where the badge holder was removed that got me. Jacket has a story.

    Cal-Leather On The Way

    Finally found what I desperately hope is the right chp for me: a 1960s Cal-Leather. Should be with me in a couple of weeks, covid and transatlantic mail being what they are!

    Golden Bear?

    Talking of Branded, Johnson Leathers (from the opposite coast, I know) get a LOT of love on here. I’ve seen some of their chps pass through these forums, though I’ve noticed that they are usually members’ custom-made jackets. Their resale seems very... reasonable for reputedly monster pieces.

    1940-1950 Cal / Star Glove Straight Zip CHP Size 46 Heavy Horsehide

    Only the arm length has prevented me from buying this. Jon is a truly helpful chap!

    Golden Bear?

    Thanks all. That confirms my misgivings. No cheap fix. Guess I'll hold out for an original Cal-Leather or Taubers.

    Golden Bear?

    Thanks! There seems to be a huge variety of labels as well - the ‘made in California’ ones are obviously better quality. The thing I don’t like about their chp jackets is the big, saggy belt loops, which seem to be sort of a trademark, but otherwise...

    Golden Bear?

    Where does Golden Bear stand in the grand scheme of things? They don’t seem to get a lot of love around here, but their chp jackets, for instance, look pretty high quality. I’m basically hunting around for an affordable chp, and they come up quite often. Am I comparing them to Cal-Leather, or...

    This is an odd one: a really decent Trojan repro pattern-wise. Leather is puzzling, though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224227333317

    AMF Harley Davidson Jackets: Brooks?

    Using Buco’s preferred leather? So they must have used some of that in their own jackets?

    AMF Harley Davidson Jackets: Brooks?

    I was actually going to buy that top jacket, but I was holding out for something else (which I also missed). Leather really looked Buco-esque. Some of the AMF ‘police’ jackets come without that super-stiff tail-piece - those ones look like they might be Buco or someone other than Brooks.
