Shinki or not, that's a fairly ugly jacket. The belt loops are particularly horrible.

It's a very accurate reproduction of a Cal Leather CHP jacket. People who stumble upon one usually say that these are the best jackets that were ever made. I know a guy who made a collection out of them, has like 50 Cal's.

I love the CHP's. Had two Cal's from different eras...They are purpose driven jackets. Cut short, great for riding. Looks like a pretty cool repro to me!

The hide on both was incredible...SUPER heavy stuff...

Both the Japanese repro and @ton312's original look cool imo.

Agreed. CHPs are awesome, Sloan just doesn't know cool when he sees it

I'm not a massive bike jacket fan, true, tho I do like the Indian Racer that Aero do. Maybe I should try a few on and see how I get on...

I have two Cal Leather jackets currently, and can attest that they are among my favorites.

AWESOME JACKET! Leather biodegrades in 25 years, I'd be moisturizing that one a lot, LOL
