I bought this last year here on the forum. Although it has a lot of mojo I just don't wear it and want to move it along. It goes up on the bay live tonight but will sell it to a forum member for $350, less than the ebay BIN. Link to auction that goes live at 9pm Pacific tonight: https://www.ebay.com/itm/193529743086

ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA SPORTWEAR CO. HORESEHIDE CHP MOTORCYCLE JACKET 50'S TAGGED SIZE 42 . Condition is Pre-owned. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail FLAT RATE BOX LARGE CONUS.

Second version of label green mountain (per Rin Tanaka's book.)
The jacket has noticeable wear, with some scrapes but no tears in leather. See pics. Lining is very good with no tears. Cuffs show wear with inside cuffs frayed, more on one side than the other. These do not show and are perfectly wearable.
The main zipper has been expertly replaced with a properly sized new YKK. All other zippers are original Talon in good functional and cosmetic condition. All snaps appear original and in good working order. No belt.

Tagged size is 42 and fits me fine with little room to spare at 5'10', 177 lbs.
Measurements:
Chest: 45"
Shoulder Width: 18"
Pit to Pit: 22.75"
Sleeve length: 26"
Waist: 40"
Length 26"

I bought this last year and it has plenty of character but I don't seem to wear it often. Other jackets get the call so this should go to a new home where it will be worn. Will it be yours?
