What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

I don't know much about Cals, but I don't think it is a Block Bilt jacket.

I had a steerhide one by Block Bilt, photos here: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/rare-block-bilt-1940s-chp-police-jacket.110722/

The teardrop Talon zip suggests 60s/70s, I think?

I have teardrops on this one (the first owner said he bought it from 'Star') however I always assumed it was a bit later. I suppose Officers part exchanged their old outgrown or ridden jackets.

That is great back up to JMax's post (now I re-read it) thank you!

It might tie in better with the retired Officer who sold it referring to 'Star' as the purchase location rather than 'Cal'

Cold wet and windy here in Madrid, wearing a Spiewak parka, not one of the golden fleece, newer version, not bad, still better than a miltec, I checked one of those out here, price wise 20 euros from vinted Spain so was a no brainer

Working on some more appropriate photos. Can’t do tough vintage guy anymore. Morally flexible 70’s guy Might work though.

Need some plaid bell bottoms like the catalog pic and like I actually wore to high school in the 70’s. 60’s - 70’s were the best for rock n roll and muscle cars and this old dude got to live it.

The real “Golden era”!

This look says “I am so cool, that I actively try to play it down…. But it doesn’t work.”

To me it says “The shit is in the trunk”

That is a fine thing. I like their jackets and I really like their selection of hides. Mine all 'wear'/'hang' totally differently to my Aeros - not in a better or worse way, but the fits are different. My Klondike in black goatskin is really comfortable. The V2 in mahogany steer is also much lighter-feeling than its weight suggests. What hide is this?

I’ve tried Aero jackets, for some reason they don’t fit me as well as the SB. Plus, the gussets make it more wearable.

I think 3sixteen really has their denim jackets dialed in. I love the way the sleeves are perfectly tapered. Size medium on me.
