@Monitor

Can I see it? Have you shared it on here? They’re such great jackets.

Can't find a photo of it but I'll take some tomorrow!

I think i wear this jacket more than any other of mine atm.

It's a Cal Leather Jacket from the mids 50s early 60s, pretty beat up. Missing some belt loops, ripped liner, main zip has been replaced. But it's still a joy to wear.

Listen, man. you're one of the few people who don't wear anything that looks cool!

Got 4 Cals and none of them fit like this. I'm like Goldilocks with not enough beds. One of them is close and another one is aspirational in case I ever lose 10 lbs. Think I need to sell the other two and roll the dice again.

I’ve just recently bought a second Cal Leather jacket and it’s slightly too big for me, a little long in the arms.
I’ve seen some are really short in length too, I must have gotten lucky with this one.

I’ve never been terribly good at math but I’ll go out on a limb and say this is the best $110 I ever spent. @Infinitum I owe you bro. THANK YOU!!! Little sponge bath and some URAD and new leather laces and this Vanson model E is right and tight.

This song captures every emotion I could possibly have about the Vanson E....there’s one perfect fit and sugar this one is it...LOL. True story.

Was reading fast and thought you said you owed him a sponge bath lol and what's really funny was I was like seems fair for a jacket that fits like that. Lol. I need a break and a drink.

Looks great! Glad to see you with another model E. Did you size down for this one compared to your usual size you get for an E ?

Nope. It’s a 44”. I’m sizing myself up though. Been putting in extra work for the past 6 months. Won’t last but speedo season is right around the corner. LOL.

Looks great! I am getting impatient on my columbia emailing norshor about a possible build

That was a home run with the bases loaded !!

As a bonus, it’s a teacore hide. The other E’s I’ve had all went gray under the topcoat. Should age beautifully.

 

[TREEMAN]

Seems like a snug 44 ?

Ton that's a very nice fit! good $110 spent!

 

[dudewuttheheck]

@ton312 that's better than any $110 I've ever spent either. Amazing jacket and perfect fit. Can't wait to see the tea core pop through.

Vintage Swedish goat jacket today

At the end of the day it’s my 10 year old Barbour international that is most versatile. Sort of rain resistant. Easy to layer. Dresses up or down. Loads of functional pockets.

Here's my 2nd Cal Leather Jacket, i actually saw that @Monitor posted it on here for sale after i had bought it.

I'll be honest it doesn't fit as good as my other one, its much longer in the arms and not as fitted in the shoulders like my other but i still love the jacket. I've even found myself rolling back the sleeves at times.

I'm a big fan of vintage jackets with lots of patina.
