Looks like a Cal. Can we see the inside? Does it have collar snaps?
Nope! The only thing that resembles Cal construction is the pocketsIs there mouton fur in the sleeves?
View attachment 493104 No collar snaps, plain black lining with no label. What makes me question the origin of this jacket is the fact that there's no yoke on the back
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one without the yoke. When did cal make the red label? ThanksView attachment 493148
My old Cal. No back yoke, no collar snaps.
I’ll take a better look inside later tonight or tomorrow.
That piece of leather on the inside just below the collar is very similar to my jacket that has been tentatively identified as a Monarch. Also no label. I would say that unless someone has seen a Cal with a similar piece of leather, it's doubtful it is a Cal. It is a great old jacket, however, and just shows me that my ebay search strategy sucks.![]()
I was surprised that it stayed up for so long, I have a feeling it’s made of really good leather but I’m not sure. I’ll post more pics when it arrives.I have. No idea if it’s just a custom “one- off” or an aftermarket fix. The totality of the jacket needs to be looked at. There are some things that look a bit off, but with Cals, who knows. And I’ve owned Cals without the Chewbacca-lined cuffs. Most had no labels. Unless we can ID it as something else, it’s a Cal. Haha. Whatever, awesome jacket. I always would stop and take a sneaky peaky when I passed this jacket on eBay.
I look forward to it. The hide did look nice.I was surprised that it stayed up for so long, I have a feeling it’s made of really good leather but I’m not sure. I’ll post more pics when it arrives.
