Given my small assortment of Cals, I would essentially be paying $325 for A2 style epaulets. Am I crazy for actually thinking about it? Nice find.

Looks like a nice one, in beautiful shape, and the attached fur collar included...and if you're asking me, you can never have too many Cal Leather jackets in your closet. They're ridiculously underpriced for the quality and legacy. But Monitor is right- you might be asking the wrong crowd here.

An unusual Vanson.
Is this a women’s jacket?Although the measurements are close to men’s.
Yes, a women's, with the front arranged as it is. Also, given the 23" back, I'm figuring 16" shoulders and about 21.5" sleeves (I think the seller must have measured from the neck to get 28"). What a price, though (if it doesn't get bid up), even with that zipper issue. (What causes that?)

Maybe it's not necessarily as obvious with this jacket, but it seems like a whole lot of sellers are posting women's jackets in the men's listings now. Or am I just now noticing something that's been going on for a long time?
