What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Alan has had it for 3 weeks today...hopefully I get a shipping notice soon. I was told 10 days but that time frame has long passed. Natural shearling, like a big toasted marshmallow right on top! It'll be like getting a new jacket!

I may be just as excited as you are. Eventually I will own another Cal straight zip.

I think thats a long sleeve record! Seriously - thats a nice jacket but if there is one thing that ruins the look of a jacket its ........

By design. He seems to be wearing this Californian Sportswear movie jacket with the same generous sleeve length as Bruce Willis wears his.

Out of all the jackets over the years this is probably my favorite. Such a treat everytime I put it on.

Modern Cal LAPD

That looks great.
The leather on that looks really matte compared to old Cal leather. Almost like a Schott naked cowhide vibe.
If you get an opportunity to take close up shots in natural light one day it would be great.
If you have an old Cal to take side by side shots even better!

It is more matte but not overly matte. The hide is different from vintage Cal. One of these days I'll do a quick write up and better pics. The leather is thick, measuring 1.5mm plus, but very comfortable and pliable at the same time. The lining and mouton is superb feeling too.
