Thanks @Monitor, that would explain this one:

I always thought it was a nice design, but the patch killed it for me.
I found this one with the help of this forum, seemed only right that I pass it on to the forum at the price I paid. Now hopefully I can find one just a wee bit larger.
Unfortunately my first Cal purchase was a swing and a miss. Seems to be common with these. It’s an impressive beast, and it’s in great condition, but just a little too small for me. Comes with the button on collar, which doesn’t appear to have been used much, if at all. The black satin...
Someone got a nice deal on a CAL CR, anyone here?

That was more or less what I was thinking/hoping. I feel like shoulders are pretty easy to get right, and pit to pit are usually measured an inch or two smaller than actual. Fingers crossed indeed!
And if it doesn't, hopefully it'll fit someone here.
Same seller has a LW Suburban, also 42, for $450. It's been gnawing at me for a couple weeks, but it's just too small. Hopefully a good deal for someone else...
Thanks ya'll. I think that one is too small for me regardless. And since the seller can't be trusted to get good measurements, I should probably just keep looking for a 44, from someone that can actually measure. @ton312 the one you had was custom, or stock? 24" sleeves wouldn't work for me...
