Crazy how different that ELMC Cali Havana is to mine, looks like a complete different leather. Yours is way lighter color and the grain looks like capeskin instead of horsehide, beautiful though!

Just received and really pleased with this 1960s M-65 - in amazing shape considering it's age and fits me very comfortably.

Have been kind of overwhelmed lately and haven’t been keeping up! Two favorite recent wears
As we’re almost exactly the same size and there’s only so much wear one person can put on multiple jackets, I’ve been wearing in this cafe racer for @AerGuitar so he can see if any tweaks need to be made.
I’ve also still been wearing my cognac C2 a bunch, just hit the 3 month mark.

That looks great, I never thought I would be jealous of a one year old jacket, but here I am!

I felt like wearing this Blauer sheriff's jacket today, it didn't really work out as a jacket for work and I just like it for some reason.
While my CMPD is off having the patchwork done I put the collar back on this jacket that it came from.

Thanks guys. I did a quick search. It's from a seller called " SportTogs" in China. He only sells three jackets, haha, the Durable, J-24 and the Hercules. Price is on the higher side for Chinese jackets.
Wow, the cafe looks incredible!!
Looking very sharp! Love the jacket and the boots. What is your impression of Crush on Retro? I’ve been eyeballing their engineer boots.RMC Nelson and Crush on Retro 501 w/ Levi's 511

They fit my feet great with insoles, leather quality is very good, but I did choose horween cxl upgrade. Very firm temper to the leather, roomy boot shaft so it's very easy to slip my foot in. Double stitching on the uppers, very even high spi stitching around the flat welt, very clean. If you told me these were $800+ I'd believe you. It feels very well made.
The roomy boot shaft is already forming to the shape of my leg.
Edit: Also in terms of sizing. I'm an 8.5D on the brannock and they suggested size 41 which fits me perfectly with about thumb width of room for my big toe, which is how all my boots fit. Width-wise for me, also very comfortable, very minor heel slip as well for me, the heel cup could be tighter but it doesn't bother me.

Nice! Thanks for your feedback. It’s consistent with everything I’ve been hearing.
I think you wear that one better than I do! Thank you for helping me put it through the paces
