I agree with your style review on this. But in my case the style just did not feel right on me. Sold my beautiful Lost World's J23 with mutton collar without any wear. Lesson learned. You have to feel good wearing it.

Agreed brother!! Thankfully i feel like a pimp wearing mine!!!

I even spoke to JC about making one since it's basically a cross-zip Ventura.

These Cals will probably keep me from really considering the new LW Beck and focusing on other stuff.

Sheeley 30's aviator

I remember Dave working on this pattern. He really digs into the design of these jackets. He has sent me wonderful emails about his work. Today he is too busy making jackets. He has several patterns down. I know he has several others in development.

BK makes some nice cross zip 40s aviator style, and don't forget Norshor

I stay in contact with Dave also. He's fun to talk with.
Don't quote me, but I think He worked on this pattern for 2-3 months.

Your right brother, im glad i feel like a pim# wearing mine

I think a Fully decked out Cal Leather (size 48) is the only jacket that could bring me out of jacket buying retirement!

I think the lapels on the cross-zip add certain elegance to it. I would like to explore a cross-zip plus a tie look as a certain bad-ass look/elegance dichotomy.. If someone has pics, please post.
