Beautiful jacket. Not my size, but very tempting... GLWS.

I am not an expert but by looking at the jacket I can write is "modified" Cal. The mouton is not a Cal made type. The wind flap appears to be from a different leather, and I am guessing it could have been added when the new zipper was replaced. One thing is for certain, the jacket is earlier...

Welcome to the forum. I personally like Cal's CHP. The challenge would be your size. If you are patient, you will find one here. There are other choices like trojan and Californian, but they are more expensive. In terms of value, Cal is the best choice. Lastly, there are others such as...

Who is the maker of that beauty!

Friends, If you see one, please give me a heads-up!

I AM IN LOVE... How did you get this one?

¡Dios mío! I have not seen one of this for sale in a very long time. Love it. Last time I saw this model was at my friend's house. He loves it and is a beautiful-crafted jacket with superior nickel hardware. The good old fashion produced nickel. Perfect example of how a strong #5 can hold...

May be? But no pecards. Their formula eats up cotton thread. Does anyone know which threads are used on Schott's leather jackets? Bonded nylon?...

John Chapman is a good man that perhaps can benefit from a good customer service representative. Our friend at LW Stuart Clurman is much better and had excellent communications with him. Both makers are on top of my list, along with forum members Dave and Reg. Personally, I value their...

Friend, Your jacket fits you spot on! Keep on rocking it. With all those cool originals and repros, how do you choose which one to wear? Love your collection! Lastly, can you please share who is the tanner or that hide?

Those L24 snaps are generic and were used by many companies. Please share more images of the lining front and back of the jacket.
