With a little luck, @abone2010 will have it on Monday or Tuesday and it will fit. Package was 7 lbs 11 ozs, so a solid 7.5 lbs for sure. And I agree, the design is perfect. More simplistic, yet functional. It was just too much jacket for me, and every time I was going for a side lace jacket, I was grabbing one of my Cals. Couldn't keep it caged anymore. It belongs out in the wild with a rider that will show it the world and some good dive bars.
Hey Jin, just to be clear. 118 is not HH. It's naked cow. All the 100 series Schotts use this leather. Not sure how much the formula has changed over the years, but the leather is so nice, I bought the 141 and 165 in it. I agree though, probably not good for motorcycle riding if you live in wet climate, otherwise more of a fashion piece. They've released a couple of trucker styles recently in the 100 series. I like the pattern, but don't like the buttons they used. I think there's also a blue version of it that they used in a Perfecto style and maybe some others.
Mitch beat me to it but yeah, that’s a short horn and the condition looks really, really good given it’s age. I believe the plain sleeve cuff wasn’t present on any but the most recent (brownie) repro (could be wrong). That’s a major score. Please tell me you didn’t buy it for $5 on vinted.

The 100 series though is typical pear shaped Schott sizing. My 118 got a mini dunk in water and time in the sun. I think I shrunk it a 1/4 size which was just enough to tighten up the arms and torso and maybe take 1/2 inch of the length. So it runs just past belt line, but I have so many short jackets that it's cool. For my preference, since the jacket has the belt, and then wearing a belt, it's a little overkill. Certain people can pull it off stacked like that, but it ain't my jam.
Anyway, I wouldn't pay full price for one (but that's becoming more true with all my jackets), but if you see it on Ebay in 400-500 range, well worth it. You see more 141 than 118s. Not sure if 118 just isn't as popular, or no one ever sells them LOL. 141 as many have noted is a wonky fit. I spent a couple hundred bucks taming it and would never do something like that again. Too many nice jackets that scratch that itch out of the box. But, going back to the point, the leather made me do it
so they processed the jacket maybe through all the symbols crossed on that care tag
, before sewing on the tag to it
John, Monitor, and I are cool like Jmax said a little venting no harm done. And I am sure Carlos"s closet is not going to be lonely for one 70 year old Cal

Oh man I love Vinted.

These gloves are super cool! There are some things a guys gotta have just because. I do ride but just now realize I don't have any cool vintage gloves. Thats about to change.Bought these riding gloves. Don't really know why because I don't ride (unless riding my moped counts as riding
Seller says they're from 1948 and that they're Belgium made. Shouldn't these have lining?
