    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I bought a few jackets from that seller. He regularly has great stuff. But the creases never completely wear off. I tried once to make them disappear on a tough Brooks CR by soaking it in the washing machine. It came out clean and intact, but still wrinkled.

    Glad you made it to Japan and found what you were looking for. Nothing beats trying things on before deciding on the right one.

    Everything points to Cal leather, except for the label.It is usually placed under the inside pocket, but it's often missing for one reason or another.The condition is excellent, and you have the collar as well. Congrats for the find.

    It's a steal! Too bad it's too big for me, otherwise I would've hit the BIN right away.

    It pretty much looks like one, but it's difficult to be certain without further details. The cuffs should be lined with mouton fur. And it's hard to tell if it's steer or horse without feeling the leather. Anyway, at that price, it's a great deal, and it fits you very well.

    Favorite vintage brands

    Canadian brand Brimaco had a reputation for making longer cafe racers. But their crosszips seem to have been built according to the usual proportions, i.e pretty short. Here's a size 46 that still might be too short for you...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    You wear it very well, it looks great. A little extra space in the shoulders will just make it more comfortable. The only issue for me would be the hips, because the width lets the cold in. But most Aero models are overdimensioned in that area IMO.

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    Slightly getting off topic here, but this reminds me that Leonard Cohen never missed a chance to drop names. I particularly like this reference: I said to Hank Williams how lonely does it get? Hank Williams hasn't answered yet But I hear him coughing all night long A hundred floors above me in...

    Cal CHP straight zip

    Correction: I agree the term "misleading" is not fair. What happened in my case is I usually take it for granted the sleeves are measured straight. I don't blame the seller, I should have read more carefully.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Semantics... I was going through the Brooks catalog that @tmitchell59 posted, and they call their cafe racers "Men's leather shirt". So who knows if Y2 didn't find an old model called "work shirt" and decided to keep the original designation...
