The hole for the 2nd button is there, just need a button

It’s strange because, yes, the hole is there and it goes all the way through, but there is zero evidence whatsoever of any hole on the other cuff.

Cuff w/ the holes

Cuff w/ no holes

Another California Sportswear jacket. Here it is with the next MW Windward label-"made in the West" Good example of the changing labels c.1950

Price is 1k asking. What is it worth? I'd give $200 for just that collar in excellent condition. This one looks to be Horsehide, also sold in Steerhide like below.

I also have this jacket in HH like new. The finest leather I've had in hand.

How many Star Glove, Cal leathers, Trojans, Schotts do you see from the 40s that look this good and what would they sell for?

Tough when a vintage jackets gets in the 1k range, even when they are worth it.

Why don't I buy it you ask? Well, look at the pictures above, I've got a couple.

wow i've never seen this one before? have you made a video on this Terry?

Amazing condition!

 

[tmitchell59]

That's what I call them.

Ok, I agree on that point. The above is a CSC jacket.

This Windward, early 50s, is not a CSC jacket. No 'made in the west" script. this is in the time when CSC began producing jackets with the Hercules Palm Tree label for Sears.

No idea the maker of this jacket below. Also much different leather than a CSC jacket.

No, I have not done a video. I did a pic a couple of years ago, to see the reaction. Not much. At least a 44 possible bigger.

@jonbuilder bought one sold out of England couple of years back. It was on ebay, it may not have had a label.

These Vanson Cottons are mostly made in China, for Japanese market by "NOBU & COMPANY", so no real connection to Vanson other than being licensed to use their name.

Nice aviator! I’m not sure the seller measured correctly.

Was that the seller who posted? Seems the finish is coming off, is this common?

Oh, you went for this one? Awesome, I knew it was close to your size, but I also remember you got one a week ago at Inspiration, so I wasn't sure if you were interested in it.
