How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

It's leather. It's 70s. Leonardo di Caprio wore it in 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood'. Am I going to wear it? Probably not. But it certainly looks like a nice jacket to have so I bought it :)

That reminds me of my teenage years in the early 90s. My friends and I would check out the Salvation Army looking for anything cool, from vinyl records to leather jackets. I never found the leather jacket I was looking for but I remember there was an ample selection of those leather blazers and sport coats.

i had some vintage levis pants just like what Leo is wearing about 20 years ago, check out "vintage Levis tex-twill pants" they're like a slim fitting polyester trousers that have stretch.

Grabbed this at I think a pretty good price. I'm not sure it's been worn more than 10 times. Zippers (Talon and C&C) look completely untouched. I'm guessing early 80s. 25inch and change back length so hoping it will hold me over on my search for a longer Cal in the meantime. Worst case, I'm figuring out something to do with that collar. Maybe fit it to my Commando.

Vanson. I'm pretty sure 1980-84 range. There's a hand written ID number in the pocket I need to research. Hoping it's the same leather as my C2 from same time frame.

Perfect measurements for me too. But is definitely overkill, impulse. Still eyeing a couple Cals too, waiting on info. But this was a good deal, it's my weakness lol. I really need to stay off the shopping sites.

I was the only bid on the Cal $200. I paid $600 for the black one I purchased early this year with a proxy bid at $900 and got some slack here from competitors for not waiting for the auction to end.
Not sure if this Cal will fit hard to tell from the pictures with the tape

Just recently snatched this half-belt (right?) jacket from Lee Trevor. I didnt received it yet but judging from the pictures it looks like its very good quality.

Before sealing the deal I read pretty much every post/thread on the brand here on FL, as there are not so many info on the brand available out there.
