Hey, good to see you again! You wear that A2 to perfection!
Cal. New to me. I will have a more detailed writeup in a dedicated Cal thread, but suffice it to say I am pretty stoked with this blind, impulse, opportunistic buy. A heavy beast (6.5 lbs), but you don't feel the weight at all. Love it. I bought it to flip it, but it is definitely staying.

That is one sweet Cal. Looks great on you.
Thanks, I got lucky on that one. Bought it with no measurements info, seller did not know he had a Cal. Came with an original collar too, lol.

Perfect. Sellers being unaware, a Cal theme. Keeps the prices low enough to seriously tempt you when you find another one lol. Plus they are awesome jackets.
Thanks a lot
Thank you very much

I'm not sure I could really pull off a leather vest, but that one sure looks nice if I could.

Happy weekend! My Centinela wanted an opportunity to go outside.
At this point it drapes like a comfortable blanket of wool and leather. It has no fight. Going to be awhile before the leather in my LaBrea is this broken in. But it reminds me of what I have to look forward to once it is. Comfort.
All done up.

A bit of mystery jacket. Bought it off Craigslist yesterday for $80 in a f2f transaction. Looks to be Guide Master by Wolf, but made for an outfit called Kennedy's according to the label. Definitely a project, busted seams galore, lining shredded, but the 1950s horsehide is stiff, gnarly and glorious. I don't know why I am fixing these jackets, will never make any money. I almost did not buy it, but the seller, a musician, told me he wore it in the 70s while drumming for pre-Blondie Debbie Harry at CBGBs. I bought the story hook, line an sinker, probably to justify buying it, lol.

Stepped out this morning wearing an original vintage 1941 Aero Leather Clothing Co. contract 21996 A-2 flight jacket with Buzz Rickson's Original Spec Olive Drab Chino's.
I’m all about earthtones… Olive drabs, khaki and leathery browns… But you risk looking like you’re trying to cosplay Indiana Jones when you throw on a leather jacket!
and gods forbid I wear a fedora (see what I mean :/ )

These are not inexpensive. Definitely worth a fix up. And their hide almost always looks like primo stuff.

Wore the Bravestar type III with a vintage Banana Republic vest which is kinda like an Aero Shackleton.
