Gotta give my old HD Sportster some love...

Just opened the box and conditioned this Windward. It needs a little TLC but it’s crazy how the interior and pocket bags, storm cuffs are literally in mint condition. Super clean! The shearling is soft and not dried out but there are enough tears in it to warrant replacement. The nylon quilt at the hem and in the sleeves looks unworn. An odd mix of exterior wear and interior cleanliness. Some of that unmistakable 50’s grainy HH.

This c.1950 Californian just came in from California. It is Horsehide.

Fantastic! Congratulations for grabbing this treasure!
How is the sizing? What size is it?

I am currently 192 and thick in the middle. Wearing a long sleeve T-shirt and a heavy Carhartt shirt in the pictures. The side laces are fully opened. No size tag attached. 23 inches across the front, so no issues there, plenty of shoulders, sleeves are good. I just need to loose the middle.

I will do full measurements so you can compare sizes with your jacket. I sure this one would be marked a 44.

That looks great on you! Was thinking if it may be a bit long for you, but this is clearly perfect lenght! I am so glad that you like it!

Wow, you got a good one here Terry. I enjoy vintage US jackets with the jacket makers Lable like this Californian more than the large retailers' jackets like Sears, Wards Pennys, Harly Davison, and Beck. That said I do have a couple of Windwards I am fond of.

I have the same vest. It pairs really well as a warming layer with the cut of vintage styled jackets.

Love my Filson mackinaw vest. About 12 years of heavy use, and only sign of wear is the fabric's fuzzy nap has been worn back a bit. A shame the new owners of Filson stopped offering these vests in proper sizes [38, 40, etc] and went to S/M/L... while simultaneously raising the price! (They're now about double the cost of what I paid.)

Proudly sporting my first nice leather jacket. A Vanson Chopper.

Through my thoughtful and planned purchases, along with help from my friends, I am able to show with confidence that California Sportswear Co. made jackets for Sears and Montgomery Ward. Appalachian made jackets for Sears Fieldmaster, Hercules and Oakbrook. Fried Osterman made the Albert Richard labeled jackets and labeled the same jackets as Sears Hercules. Star Glove/Kurland in Boston made MC jackets for J.C. Penney Sportclad. Monarch of Milwaukee made jackets for Sears Hercules going back to the 1930s.

More connections will be made as time goes by and jackets show up.

I know you purchased a Block jacket. They were a nationwide seller of outerwear. I don't have any connections with the Catalog/retail stores yet Ralphs-Pugh jackets were marketed primarily in the West. California Sportswear are sold nationwide also.

Continuing the Vanson theme... Enfield.

Full tuxedo in my blanket lined ***IH type3

And no the jacket isn't enormous on me the length was heightened in this collab. It made it way more functional in cold weather but looks a bit disproportionate in warmer weather. Really like the jacket, though. Surprisingly soft and easy to move in for 23oz denim.

Pretty excited to get this Aero Teamster from a fellow lounger

That’s a great fit! Hope you enjoy it.
