So cool, love the brown shade here and the logo looks killer. More boxy looking compared to the FW Mulholland or RMC Mobster. Gotta love the underarm gussets too

Agreed, was talking to @dudewuttheheck the other day about a nicer shade of brown for a Mulholland and this is maybe closer to the dead leaf brown on a caboose I think

I fortunately do and unfortunately in some regards lol the pattern works great for my build so I didn't hesitate to get it in both color ways. I do think a properly sized Cal is more comfy to wear so I'm still in the hunt for a brown straight zip

Doubtless lambskin. Fashion jacket.
Thanks - based on jackets I'd handled I'd always guessed 1968, so I wasn't far off.
That's the bit everyone forgets, the different jackets pre-breakthrough. The shot above was used on the cover of the first album, released in 1976. By the time they put out their third album, Rocket to Russia, in 77 (their second album that year!), the cross-zip was the norm for all save drummer Tommy (who thereafter vacated the drum stool, to be replaced by Marky Ramone before their next release in 1978...):
Legend has it that, for this shot, they had originally gone looking for the location in Queens where the first album cover shot had been taken, but no-one was able to locate it.
Tommy does seem to have gotten with the cross-zip programme at some point before he left:
Tommy's successor, Marky, circa Rock and Roll High School in a Lewis:
Three Perfecto types, and Joey in a Lewis Bronx:

One fine jacket. I believe this is an Unlabeled California Sportswear jacket.
This is it with the label. The one below is Chrome Tanned Cowhide

That’s what I thought it was, is. After seeing how happy you are with yours I’ve been looking. Plus my Sears is likely CSC, and it is absolutely a special jacket.

The one on the right is probably CSC and is seen with a Montgomery Ward California label.

I forgot about this wards. The pocket configuration is awesome. Gives the jacket a different, rare look and feel.
Cool grain.
I’m kicking myself for not buying both your Cali chromes. Glad I ended up with one though. It’s a beautiful hide!
Cool jacket, and fascinating looking underarm gussets...
