Good looking jacket, those measurements seem off for a 42. Do Schotts run small in they’re sizing? I haven’t handled many mostly aviators.

They run all over the effin place. It can be frustrating. Are the measurements Schott lunacy or being measured by a lunatic on eBay lol. I don’t know. The Schott forum may dig into it a bit deeper. It is a cool jacket too.

that's a gorgeous jacket. I'm kind of on the fence with the elbow pads on an aviator. But at that price, pretty darn good. If I had to guess, I bet the ptp is 22-23 range.

I’m so close to buying a jacket I know will be too big. All manner of rationalization running through my head. I can layer, the fur lining is thick, it’s a fur lined Cal straight zip Cal, I may get bigger, my eyes deceive me and the measurements are wrong, it’s a damn fur line Cal lol.

Go for it! That's an amazing piece, Cals are some of the coolest out there

Those overly large kidney panels really ruin it for me …:(

I never measured the reinforced panel, front or back, on the Cals I have sold, but my sense of it is that they got a tad bigger (taller?) as the 60s rolled on.

Ooh, I may go for this. Asked seller for some info. Thanks.

I have more pics if you want. Had to get a closer picture of the label to confirm what it was. The big main zip is YKK, so obviously that's been replaced, but it doesn't look like a bad fix.

Yep. I will message you my email if that’s easier. Or here is cool. Whichever is better for you.
