Favorite California Creations jacket. Seller shooting out offers too.

@Guppy weren't you looking at one of these a few months back?

I found a way to make this jacket mine. Another Hat Tip to @JMax for posting this Jewel. I had not seen this jacket. Measures out to at least a 44, the seller said no unseen issues with the leather.

Sorta stunned again to find another for the closet.

I own this jacket with 2 chest pocket, Roll up buttoned cuffs, Olympic Ring zipper pulls. It also has a Sears Topline label from 1941. Most probably made by California Sportswear Company. It has no leather tag and the leather I have described as most unique. I finally determined it was Calf Skin through another jacket. Now this one, looking identical has a Goatskin label!

This will be an education. I often refer to mine as one of the finest jackets I own. This one looks to be around the same size 44/46. Very comfortable.

I was hoping you or someone here snagged it. Truth be told, when I got the offer from the seller I almost went for it too. And it isn’t remotely close to the style and leather that I prefer. It just looks really nice, well put together.

Schott Factory Sale in dirty Jersey on Saturday, 10/16, 10-4. One of those things I've always been on the fence about, apparently there are good deals to be had, but it sounds like a bit of a nightmare with resellers, etc. Anyone from here go?

Seller sent me an offer of $250.00. And 4 pictures showing me the measurements.

I recieved the same offer. It's a neat jacket, I just do not care for the back design and the exaggerated "action back". That holds this jacket back, in my opinion, from being one I really would like to own.
