Too large for me, sigh. Price significantly reduced. Could be a real nice pickup for someone here.

I’m on the hunt for one of these and have been for so long. Man I had the most beautiful Cal. Must’ve been the only one ever made that wasn’t 23” long in back. I don’t get it. The cross zips aren’t that short. I know this isn’t a CAL but it just seems the dress collar/ straight zip versions are always markedly shorter. I would need this to be at minimum 3” longer. Sucks.

People were just smaller in the olden days. Just about all the vintage clothing I’ve come across suggests this.
