That’s a great look all around, Wolf.First snow this season in Lithuania today. Temp hovering around freezing.
Testing out the limits of layering with my new Aero Hooch Hauler.
3 layer setup (long sleeve mesh + long sleeve thermal + long neck wool sweater) feel snug but quite ok.
Probably that's as far as I would go with this jacket.
These pictures also remind me how I was worried that this style might not work too well with my favorite hat. The worries are gone - they look fine together as far as I can tell.

Super Spiegel and substantial looking, T.
That’s a great look all around, Wolf.
You are owning it.
Favorite hats are great, but if you wanted to up your hat game to equal that excellent jacket you could bring that favorite hat over to the hat threads.
You might be surprised what a vintage western can do with a fine leather.
Lithuania needs a hat guy too.
Again, great look.

C'mon @tmitchell59, tell. You said you had a theory who made those 1950s Spiegels. They are rare as hen's teeth, substantial, and all around great jackets. Horsehide, too, but the horsehide tag was tiny and fell off first in most of them.Spiegel

Did Cal Sportswear make those for Spiegel??

LolI agree. I wish I had the cojones to wear a cowboy hat with a feather no less and own it. Great job, @TartuWolf.
Nah, @Leather Walker is the original Cal bro. He just does not post fit pics too often. I am just trying to learn from the best.Lol
Will, you’d own the cowboy hat look in a NY minute if you would have moved to Texas instead of Fla!!
By the way…you own the Cal look around here incase you didn’t know it.
OG’s can rule.

Thank you, Will! But with the joy you spread wearing your jackets, I can do nothing but learn. One of my intentions, now that the cold weather is starting here, is to do like you, guys: share more pics. Here, from the past year, wearing one of my beloved Cals.Nah, @Leather Walker is the original Cal bro. He just does not post fit pics too often. I am just trying to learn from the best.

All the MC jackets from the early 50s were superb! Check out the Windward just above. Everything was top stuff, so hard to say one is better. Even with fit, some wear better on others.C'mon @tmitchell59, tell. You said you had a theory who made those 1950s Spiegels. They are rare as hen's teeth, substantial, and all around great jackets.

Super coolI have bought and sold many jackets (0.01% of @ton312 tally however ), but this Cal is not going anywhere.
