Vintage Californian Suede Jacket....for sale

[Dilkit]

Hi
I bought this jacket and a Topline one as well. Unfortunately the really excellent condition Californian is a bit too big.
1940's tan suede Californian leather jacket by California Sportwear Company. Fits a men's M or so - please refer to measurements to ensure proper fit.

Great old go-to piece. Nice belt back detail.
Zipper appears to have been replaced in the 1950's or so. You can still see some stitch marks from where the original would have been sewn in. The jacket style and materials are solidly late 1930's/early 1940's.

MEASUREMENTS:
Shoulder to Shoulder: 18 1/2"
Pit to Pit: 22"
Sleeve Length: 22"
Body Length: 30 1/2"
Zipper has been replaced as mentioned above. Little bit of overall wear, but really very well maintained. The lining is in nice shape and the suede is still super soft. This is a great vintage item in excellent condition - please look at the pictures.

DETAILS:
- Talon zip closure
- Celluloid buttons on cuffs and pocket closures
- Belt back w/ button cinches
- Air vents at underarms
- Fully lined

Nice jacket. Are you sure about the sleeve length? It seems at odds with the other measurements.
