Inspiration for the ELMC Californian?

[Jägernaut]

This jacket is currently for sale on ebay. The collar and back are what really caught my eye. All details are identical except for hand pocket placement.

Wow! Certainly looks like it!

If it were in better condition I’d jump on it...

The shoulder tabs and the double row of stitching around the pockets are the only difference i can spot.
Also interesting that the back is the same, but the old one doesn't have gussets.
As PN says, shame it's a bit rough...

I saw this jacket on ebay, looked it over. Liked the style, front and back, buttoned cuffs, short color. All the right details in the wrong condition so I walked away.

Looks to be capeskin.

I dearly loved my ELMC Cali and this does remind me.

I have this same collar on a couple of original Californians. When I went to get a picture I realized I have this jacket!

Isn't this the same? This is Capeskin too. A bit older zipper than the ebay jacket.

this one is even more whimsical than the ELMC

Here is the same collar on another 30s Californian

I took these when I was selling my ELMC. Right in front of my eyes
