    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    - The first thing I notice is the zipper puller: wire-shape like Conmar during 50s/60s. - If you see lots of Cals from different periods, you can see stitching differences between them. As I see in this particular jacket, the distance from the edge of the lapel to the stitching makes a thinner...

    I think this jacket is older than seller tells. I'd say 50s or early 60s.

    Oh my..!:eek: What a way to destroy a beautiful Cal...o_O Who was the fool that installed these snaps when the jacket has alreay (hidden) snaps? This is one of the distinctive details of these jackets.

    A pretty Cal. Judging by its front zippers pulls, I'd say this jacket was made in mid or late 70s.

    The Cal which nobody wants :( https://ebay.us/iRAYm9 The main issue is the poor state of the collar area and lining. IDK if the hide would be restored with oil and conditioner.

    Hi everybody! I recently got this amazing vintage Cal-Leather. This is my 3rd vtg Cal: made in 70s, mid-weight leather, Talon on main zipper and Serval on cuffs... and the most important thing: an AWESOME sensation wearing this beast.

    Who Made Leatherman’s CHP Jacket?

    I wish I could take pictures so nice as yours... I'm happy with my first Cal: it weights around 8 lbs. Very thick leather. Freddie wore his Cal from 79 to 82. He picked up his jacket in Oakland during the "Jazz Tour" concert, on Dec 1978. So, it's unknown if the inner label was the original...

    Who Made Leatherman’s CHP Jacket?

    Indeed. In BLUF scene you can see that almost everybody wears Langlitz, but I don't know why. Langlitz jackets are expensive, even the 2nd-hand ones! In 70s & 80s there were more brands and styles worn, but Langlitz jackets are the most nowadays.
