Too early for me to be articulate lol
This jacket exceeded my already high expectation - it is JL after all - in every aspect!
Will post a thread with some impressions and more pics soon!

My first flight jacket! A vintage Gino's with Serval zipper working like the 1st day. No scratches, marks, or breaks on leather. Cuffs and waistbands are in mint condition! Very happy with this for very few bucks.

Collar is glorious! It's real different from your favored Cals but looks good on you. Can you pls share photos of the back of the padded Cal? I'll have one made since I can't seem to find one lol

Thanks, Jin431! The fur collar is in perfect condition for all these years.
My padded Cals, one made with heavyweight (cowhide?), the other with mid/heavy leather. The 2nd one is completed with a basket Sam Browne belt I got for practically nothing. The next step is finding vtg fur collars for these beauties!

Oooh those are nice! Thanks for sharing that! Highly appreciate it! Screenshot!
I think I saw one of those basket weave belts on an old star glove posted recently, they do look so cool. New makers will probably charge a pretty penny for those lol
I heard it's quite hard to come by a properly fitting collar on these old Cals. Looks like the snap placement is different and they are not perfectly interchangeable. @Marc mndt had to send his jacket to Greg at Field Leathers for a mouton collar placement and I saw @Mysteryo make his own fur collars for his jackets too

Check out cop shops or a place like Don Hume, sites like that. Sam Browne belt. Normally between $50-$100 but can be had for less. These are really thick duty belts. Take a bit to break in. I always seem to reach for a belt like the soft one sold by Vanson. But these have their place and are legit.

Johnson Leathers could make you a new collar that would fit perfectly.

Got it. Thanks for the heads up and those belts seems like it will be good forever too.
Yes! My straight zip button snap Cal is at JL getting the sleeves tapered and having a black mouton outfitted right now

Placed my order for a Wayfarer from Aero in battered tan. Had ordered my Highwayman back in December, just there. Never thought I'd be back placing another order so quickly, really excited for this.

None for now, I'm pretty happy with my one. Ordering a Vanson Oxford in Brandy for my brother as a present, however.

Yes, I’ve got one that I love despite the strange oversized d pocket!

I’m glad you responded. I remember you mentioned that some of these were made with the bright yellow lining.

I know the story,
I just bought a jacket that was too right to pass and probably won't fit.
This Kurland certainly looks worthy of ownership!

I hope so. I really do. I’ve been watching another one for much more money, though I am sure it will fit. This one will be close. Figured I’d take the risk.

I really like this jacket. Everything on the one I have coming is the same except for the bright yellow lining. Though glove is spelled differently. Hmmm.
Edit: I just found a few jackets online with it spelled Glove on the label. We shall see when it arrives.

I got caught up in the Iron Heart 15% off sale and bought this beauty:
It’s an IH x Simmons Bilt collaboration in natural Italian horsehide. I’ve had my eye on this jacket for a good long while and the sale was all the excuse I needed to pull the trigger.
I also ordered some Mustang Paste that I plan to apply when I receive it to give it a little color. I love how this jacket looks raw but I don’t really fancy being a pale white man in a pale white jacket…
