    I really appreciate your point of view and all the details. I learn so much from all of you. What criteria do you look at when you want to determine the quality? Is “okay” quality typical of 70’s and 80’s Fidelity jackets? I have bought a Cal Leather so far, not sure of age. Member @JMax posted...

    Thank you for that information. I think the zippers say “ideal” on them. Wonder what year they used ideal zippers? Also wondering about quality level of these, too.
