What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Messages

The Californian came in today. So cool, fit is great, leather is awesome as Terry said. BUT..... a seam at one pocket welt is separated, and internal pocket bag is shredded. Not disclosed in ebay listing, so back it goes unless somebody here wants it for $299 shipped conus. Offer valid for 24 hours...:). I am 5-8, 142 lbs, jacket is tagged 38 vintage and wears like that. Totally wearable. All zips original and working. I would keep it 100%, but don't need another project right now. Sick jacket though.

I’d keep it and work the issues slowly. Looks great and a welcome addition to your vintage, straight zip police jacket collection.

Edit: The Cal and Monarch do fit and look better tho. So I get it. But still.

Can you comfortably move those armas and bend them? The sleeves look super tight. i've had that happen to me on some jacket and shirts and my arms end up sore during the day,
They are vermicelli sleeves. Absurdly narrow. Fortunately the leather is insanely soft. Naked calfskin? It puts up zero resistance. So it’ll blow apart at the seams before it injures me.
