    Thanks. After handling the jacket, I definitely see what all the fuss is about when it comes to vintage Cal Leathers. I have to credit @JMax for providing loads of advice on what to look for in a CL jacket. He helped me find this one. :)

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    We've had a stupid amount of early snowfall this year. So I guess shoveling snow is part of my routine now for breaking in my Schott 613SH as part of the FL 30-day challenge.
