Looking for a padded cowhide Columbia preferably without sleeve or coin pockets in the 42-44ish range. Even better if it comes with a mouton collar.
Measurements below are more or less what I’m looking for, but happy to take a look at anything anyone’s got in the ballpark. I’ll be going custom...
Beat up white label Cal - Really nice topcoat fade going on here, a former owner didn’t take the best care of this one, it’s coming undone in a fair number of places. That aside, it still wears pretty nicely despite being a size or two too big for me, fits like a 44. Lining in decent shape...
White label Cal - Main zip and one sleeve zip replaced, the other sleeve zip has a huge “Talon” pull. The hide is super shiny, possible horsehide? Action back, double stitch cuffs, 7.6 lbs
Cal Straight Zip CHP - Unlabeled, made of an indestructible cow or horse, I figure a Cal. Maybe 70s? Brass Talon zips, no action back. Double stitch cuffs, 6.8 lbs

I encounter Cal/Al's jackets fairly frequently when hunting in vintage stores across California, but usually they don't work out for me for one reason or another. These two, however, I hope to keep with me for a very...
Excellent! I’m hoping to go back sometime in the next year to see more of Japan. Would be awesome if you and others keep this thread updated on good vintage finds and stores not mentioned

Selling this beat up Cal at the above eBay link. See the description for all the details, there are some issues with the jacket...
I just got back from a week in Tokyo, it was spectacular. Got to see and handle a lot of the legendary brands everybody on this forum loves.
I can perhaps speak most to vintage shopping as much of my time was spent checking out second-hand and vintage versus new.
Overall, Japanese vintage is...
Sorry, this sold a while ago. Although I do have a pretty mint modern Cal or Al’s leather (unlabeled) jacket that fits about a 42-44 if you’re interested - I haven’t gotten around to posting it.
Picked up this incredible Cascade from 1988 in Portland over the weekend. The hide on this jacket is a spectacular heavyweight cow. Feels like I completely lucked out as the fit is spot on too!
