I think this is the one I picked up. It's not a straight zip. If it were another .5 on ptp and waist, my cal search would have long been over. Absolutely beautiful jacket, not a mark on it. I bought another one with a mutton collar that fits this one. If anyone interested as package deal, let me know.

I am not sure I understand everything :)
A size 42 straight zip was mentioned on top of the page, that could interest me.
At the moment I am still waiting for a fur lined Cal to be delivered to my house, but I don't even know if it was shipped...The seller does not answer to any mail.
If that does not happen, I may be interested by the cross zip you (TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead) are selling, or the one
that J Leather Investigater shows here.

The one pictured here, 42L, I bought. I also have another that was for sale. Two different jackets.

Also, I think john had another one (straight zipped) but not pictured here. He mentions in his post but I think was listed separately and also sold.

Anyway, I basically have 2 I could sell. The one pictured here and then another listed. It slightly different. Little bit bigger, has gussets, has the mutton collar (but that fits both jackets). Message me if you want and I can show side by side.

The Etsy fur-lined cal? Good luck tracking down that seller. I think she is some half-baked yogi. Plus, that jacket was in storage somewhere, not immediately available. I hope you get it.

Anyways, the Cal in the first post here looks stellar.

Yes, it's epic. It's top 2 Cals I've ever handled. John sold it at a very very fair price. It's snug on me but I don't care. I know I'll never find one like that again. But God only knows what I'd do for it to be a little bigger.

I know what I did, pay too much for one in my size and offset the insanity by offloading this one. I’ll keep an eye out. The pricing on these Cals has gone up quite a bit.

I just told someone if I could frankenstein all my Cals, I could create the most perfect one ever LOL. I have a straight zip one that's everything I want except an inch too short. Very Mullholland-esque. This 42L has the length, but is too tight at the bottom hem. My 1970s one has perfect body fit, but it's short and has gussets (not the end of the world, but I like the clean look better). The older 1950s one I had that I sold had the beautiful teacore horsehide and perfect 26 inch length but was a size too big for me all around in chest and shoulders.

So I think I'm going to focus on my straight zip and just live with the shorter length. It's becoming too much of a gamble to chance buying these because most people on Ebay, etc. don't know how to measure and/or they show up in shit condition. But yeah, if you ever see one that's like a half size too small for you but on the longer side, let me know.

This girl... The only time she gave me an answer, she was camping in Montana, and had to go back home to ship the jacket. No info since. I will wait a couple of weeks more and see.
I may take that 42L Cal on this page, everything on this one looks nice.

That’s her alright. The type who tries to pet a cuddly teddy grizzly and gets half eaten. Peace.
