Info Sought About Vintage CHP Jacket

Thanks Leigh! Y

There should be stitching marking from the Starglove label on the inside pocket.

The early Cals with the red labels were glued for some crazy reason, so they have no stitch markings on the inside pocket.

Thanks Leigh! You have a super collection and absurdly good fit pics, and now you've given the double welt confirmation!

Thanks much to those who provided information regarding my jacket. Unfortunately, many of the comments -- though no doubt well intentioned -- turned out to be inaccurate. Gwen Cornell of Cal-Leather has informed me that the jacket is a "Cal" and likely dates from 1953 to 1955, thus contradicting the multiple assertions that it is a Star Glove (unfortunately, she declined to explain her reasoning for the attribution). Also, it is indeed horsehide despite at least one suggestion to the contrary.

Although I love the jacket, I hope to find one that is a bit larger, in which case I would consider selling. So please feel free to reach out if you might wish to acquire it.

Would've liked a bit more color, but hey....
