Edit: nvm... I mistook the model
The last Cal I bought is labelled size 36, and it measures 20" p2p. The good thing about this is I leave the laces untied, so I can wear nice even zipped up.

A Related Question for the Lounge Cal Experts:That is a very nice Cal. Is it horsehide? Did it come with any labels? The fit looks great.
GREAT question...many were horsehide, many....but I don't think I've ever seen any way to definitely prove which one of mine IS.A Related Question for the Lounge Cal Experts:
Do CALs ever have a hide label??? I don't seem to recall seeing one in a Cal. Seems that the ones I have seen and handled only have the Cal Leathers Label if that.
Also, does anyone know what hide variety they have used over the years?? Seems like a lotta Steerhide jackets from what I have seen. Probably some HH too but does anyone have any idea what they used and when?? Like did they used to use HH now only use Steer like a lot of vintage makers???
Apologies for being lazy and just asking here instead of doing a search. We don't have to go deep on it here if its a nuisance.
I am taking a flyer on this guy. Not sure why, don’t wear cross zips at all anymore. I can’t imagine it’ll fit but for God only knows why I couldn’t lay off.This Fidelity is so mint that I want to share, even though I think most of you've already seen it: size 42, BIN $69 eBay.com
I am overjoyed that someone besides myself is engaged in what he himself KNOWS is probably a senseless purchase. @ton312 ---bro----in my experience, these types of endeavors tend to actually turn out the complete opposite of what we may think immediately post purchase. Here's hoping this one blows yer mind!!!!!I am taking a flyer on this guy. Not sure why, don’t wear cross zips at all anymore. I can’t imagine it’ll fit but for God only knows why I couldn’t lay off.

Thank you! I'd say this is horsehide, but can't say it for certain. No label, only the size handwritten in the inside pocket, as in all Cals.That is a very nice Cal. Is it horsehide? Did it come with any labels? The fit looks great.
So @handymike is officially an "INFLUENCER" now!! Time to CASH IN bro!!!!I did a quick search and found this pic

So it’s @handymike ‘s fault. If I can get that fit out of it I’ll be happy as a pig in what pigs are happiest in.
I think I may have bought a 38” ( if the measurements are right). If I get and you want it it’s yours or anybody else if interested. That said, I do hope it fits. Not having at least one cross zip feels wrong (ish).That was 1 size up. It was a 40, and I want a 38- great jacket!
I reckon that would be another pigI did a quick search and found this pic

Is this for real? 50s Buco for $475 at FB Marketplace. Maybe someone who's in LA may take this in person.
