    I am overjoyed that someone besides myself is engaged in what he himself KNOWS is probably a senseless purchase. @ton312 ---bro----in my experience, these types of endeavors tend to actually turn out the complete opposite of what we may think immediately post purchase. Here's hoping this one...

    A Related Question for the Lounge Cal Experts: Do CALs ever have a hide label??? I don't seem to recall seeing one in a Cal. Seems that the ones I have seen and handled only have the Cal Leathers Label if that. Also, does anyone know what hide variety they have used over the years?? Seems...

    Cool, old, and well battered California Sportswear Half Belt. Measurements are somewhat.......lacking (shocker!!!) -- Cheap opening bid. Interesting/Confusing (to me) main zipper. LOOKS LIKE a Talon Base. I know the prewar Talons have some V markings on the pull but I don't know if this...

    Since we are out here tryna get our boy @Will Zach to bite on a Cal to take to Florida so he doesn't have to go all CROCKETT AND TUBBS........., Though likely a bit small for him, I present this one with a low opening bid of $120. No Cal tag......... I didn't see fur in the sleeves. But it...

    Yes interesting. You don't see a zip chest pocket on A-2 type jackets. Assuming this is original its a unique jacket.

    Yep. The best you could do to save some coin would be to shift to a Talon main that is a later year and thus easier to find. (tho not inexpensive)....... but it sure would be cool to try to salvage that Conmar somehow since the pull is there and seems issue free on that pull side. I know...

    EASILY two Bens especially if trying to bring it back w true age appropriate hardware. Just to do the main zip with a period correct NOS zipper plus installation costs will be $100-125 (CZs are usually on the high end) for the install and likely yer lookin at about $100 for a proper period...

    Criminal theft. Whoever got this CR will be super pleased if it fits. This one could almost qualify as a " @Will Zach " named for his talent/luck in scoring killer jackets for a song. I hope a Lounger got this...

    LOVE that post on the zippers bro!!!!! Great Info there!!!! Being in the States I see more Canadian jackets than English and so when its a vintage jacket and not US made, I then default to Canadian made. Very often, its obvious because they'll have Lightning zippers. I don't generally see...

    I like these jackets but have ruled them out for myself because I feel they run a bit short. I can never find the right size in this model. Even larger sizes don't get much longer in the back. The similar model with the similar elastic design but lacking the large front pockets also runs...

    I agree on the valuation. Could be a Brimaco. The label outline doesn't rule that out. Aero zippers predate the AERO leather company. A tid bit of info on Aero here-----in particular---scroll down to the 11th post. Interesting...

    Brand unknown to me---English made IMO....... I know....quite a shocking revelation for a jacket listed in the UK huh??? I believe those AERO zips are older English made zips and unrelated to the AERO brand in Scotland. Just my recollection....... someone else should know more. Zips COULD BE...

    Its pure breach of contract UNLESS it truly is damaged or missing which we all know IT IS NOT. What happened was, upon acceptance of @Will Zach 's bid/bin the Seller's home was invaded and the crooks took money, jewels and an old jacket that was laying in a box waiting to be shipped. Its the...

    All true. When I list (which I have not done in quite awhile but likely need to soon), I list based on using USPS Flat Rate so I state a one price for all of whatever eBay is going to discount it for. For example I will list shipping at $21.00----I will not allow eBay to default my shipping...

    The Shipping on eBay is weird....... It calculates for your location. And when the person is not shipping flat rate----it has numbers based on your location. For me, the shipping for this jacket was over $27 --- I compare MOST jacket shipping to USPS Flat Rate which is up to $22.80 now. So...

    Bitchen padded CR. I believe this jacket was made and/or sold by a now defunct motorcycle shop in Alhambra, California called ENDURA or ENDURO.......... I got measurements from the Seller with a 22 P2P so I think its a 40-slim 42 size wise. I advised her to post more measurements and details...

    Damn man!!! I didn't miss this innovative detachable sleeve!!!! I saw the first photo and then gazed $71 for shipping and I didn't even look at the other photos. My bad for suggesting this as a potentially high priced purchase worthy jacket. I would like to hereby officially reclassify my...
