I had both of these saved as well. Facebook marketplace has some good deals if you can take the time to search! The filters and search tools have been really awful in my experience.

Yes, especially the location filter: 2700 miles search would be nice.

CHP style jacket starting at a low auction. Not really sure who the maker is. Not Cal and all the zippers look like new YKK.

You think so? It's a Cal with zippers and lining replacement to me. There's no fur on cuffs, that's why I think lining was replaced, but epaulettes shape, gusset shoulders, belt area stitching, upside down belt loops and hide are specific to their vtg jackets (not the modern ones).

You're right, it probably is a Cal. I didn't take a close look, but all the zippers being new + some of the pictures didn't really look like Cal to me. The stitching for the chest pockets and the belt loop configuration make it look more likely.

man that looks pretty darn close to a Cal. I don't have any with epaulettes. Interesting that the middle belt loop in the back is offset. Not sure if a mistake or on purpose design. None of mine have like that.

Just saw this. Is this original or reproduction? Looks like new, but also looks original. I no nothing about this seller. I did look up this jacket on yahoo Japan and did not find it.

I just messaged the seller for confirmation on country of manufacture.

@tmitchell59 Everything (zippers, belt, plastic belt buckle, lining and leather) looks like a Freewheelers La Brea reproduction in very good condition but at very high price
