Pains me to sell this one but no matter how many times I try it on, it ain't going to fit :p

Sleeves and back length are longer than usual which we know is rare on these things. Really the reason why I kept trying to make it work, but it's too big in the chest and shoulders for me.

I did a full write up here. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/vintage-cal-its-changing-my-outlook-on-things.103829/

More measurement photos below. It was touched up by Cal Leathers shop, reinforcing the arm pits, wrists and sleeves. They missed a small spot on the shoulders though. This is vintage in every way. Nicks, cuts, scrapes, etc. But is structurally sound. Leather is well conditioned and as beautiful as it gets. Gorgeous huge, main talon zip in good condition and talons on the wrist. I repaired one of the diamond pulls with a repro.

Looking for $375 ppff conus shipping included.

Ptp 24
Back 26 at the end of tail
Shoulders 20
Sleeves 25.5
Waist about 19-22 depending on how tight you cinch the side laces

and just like that, she's gone.

I'm going to try on one of my other ones again. It fits me better in the chest and waist, but a little too short if I remember. Good for like someone 5'10 or under I think. Stay tuned for another one maybe.

I have two smaller ones. LOL
Oh yeah. Send me pics. Bring tomorrow. If one of them fits me how I like, maybe I'll buy it. Sizing isn't always exact with them, but I think I need a 44L in that "usual" vintage sizing. The other one I just listed is so freaking perfect in every way except it's too short at 24. If it was 25 or 26, it would be game over for me. It's everything I want in a jacket.

It's a long shot, but the Cal I have for SOT a bit further down the forum is 27" long...
