I am on a road trip and just spotted a Cal “in the wild”. I am hoping for some advice about whether this is worth picking up for about $180. The pluses are the weight of the leather (feels more like my Star Glove than my other Cal), the tea core-ish wear (at least more so than my other Cal), and the original (I think) sleeve and pocket zips. The main zip is (I think) a replacement. The minuses are the wear on the top of the back of the collar around the fold, the small hole in the back between the shoulders, and the separation in one of the shoulder seams. I think it will also need a new liner eventually. It seems like a serious potential repair bill, but the leather does seem pretty hefty.
