Lots of variations on this Schott style. This one im pretty sure has the naked hide leather, but is missing the zip in liner and probably snap on synthetic collar. Is buttery soft. Gorgeous patina. Guessing there's some salt type stains too, but I've cleaned and condition. All pretty good...
I kind of posted this elsewhere but there's a different discussion going on and it got buried. It's too important imo not too highlight because a lot of us have the aero fit issue of too much tension on the neck and creating crease lines that shoot from the neck diagonally towards the armpits...
Best I can tell from my limited tag research. Probably the last batch or two before they started adding handwarmer pockets and still were union made and all that.
I bought 2 of these. The other is a little longer. This one has better denim. No stains, rips, or fraying. Pretty much what...
Going to move one of my Cals again. I keep doubling up on them and find myself always going back to the straight zip first. So this one is pretty redundant and I'm really, really trying to get the jacket count down to closer to 12 (LOL, yeah right).
I wrote about here when I first got it...
This one hurts because it fits so well and finding these in good condition is becoming harder. But it's not getting wears. Bought a few more I didn't plan on and trying to trim down to "only" 12 again lol.
I'd say 9 out of 10. Few loose threads here and there. Original talon zip in great...
Need to thin the closet some more.
There's several hundred page thread on what and what not 5* is, so I don't want to oversell this. Imo, it's a very high end mall jacket on the leather and other materials, but right up there with the mid tiers as far as construction.
This was inspired by...
SOLD
This jacket is so damn nice, I bought it twice. Weird chain of events happened where two fell in my lap at about the same time and as I was searching for a simplified, teacore D pocket and getting really frustrated, I guess I wanted to corner the market LOL.
Very simple design. No belt...
Best I can tell this is an early 1980s C2. It was after they switched from the original white label, but before they started adding ID numbers.
Previous owner removed epaulettes. I thought about sending to Dena to have her put some back in, but I kind of liked the look without since I also...
I tend to do things pretty analytically. I was surprised yet comforted to hear there are many others here who have spreadsheets on the jackets they own, sold, want, etc.
With jacket wearing season only a handful of weeks away (well at least for us above the equator), curious if any of you have...
Everything sold except the Gap trucker. See below for pics and info. I might add another jacket soon. Thanks TFL. 3 great jackets stayed in the TFL circle.

Really like this one, but I now have a Commando and my 118 are going to take up the cross zip slots. Trying to slim down to 12 "go to" jackets (LOL, as crazy as that sounds) for the next jacket season and start getting a ton of wears on everything to showcase them. Something has to go and this...
More of an interest check than anything. I really like this one, but been thinking about selling a few lately to buy one of the higher end jackets like a RMC, etc. So let's see what happens.
Per 3 is very rare. Made a handful of years ago as a collab with Barneys NewYork. Unique style with...
More of a placeholder for future reference. Every once in a while someone pings me about it and rather than rehash all the details, photos and all that.
Not eager to sell, but it hardly gets worn and has been relegated for future kid use for one of my sons. But that list is growing too. So...
Stumbled onto this via the Youtube algorhythms.
Lots of interesting info and technique about jacket build, how to repair, etc. In this case an old Brooks jacket.

Catch and release for me. Fits pretty much like the other Cal I'm trying to sell. Was hoping the longer back length would help, but not quite there.
This thing is near mint. Cant imagine it was worn much by the condition of the main Talon male pin. Other zips are C&C. Gorgeous, soft...
Saw this posted in an ebay listing. Can't recall it ever being posted here. I know about the epic Talon zipper reference and this will be pretty handy as well.
I realized the other day I was almost at 1000 posts in like 8 months and I was like holy cow, I really need to do something with my life LOL. ;) Just kidding.
I wanted to thank this great community. While you all have caused me to spend a fortune, I have learned a lot and had a ton of fun in...
Here's another one that doesnt have right fit for me. I had it for sale previously but since then it got a nice touch up from the Cal shop.
I call it my "party" Cal. Had gold dust/glitter in the pocket when I got it. The stories...:p
Cal Leathers shop patched up liner on the arm pit area...
Pains me to sell this one but no matter how many times I try it on, it ain't going to fit :p
Sleeves and back length are longer than usual which we know is rare on these things. Really the reason why I kept trying to make it work, but it's too big in the chest and shoulders for me.
I did a...
