I don't know who actually made this jacket, maybe Windward / Montgomery Ward? The corduroy hem is pretty distinctive. I will do a little research and try to find out before listing it on Ebay. Really nice condition cross zip: zippers work smoothly, zipper hems in good shape. Besides standard...
Hi folks,
Moving on from this jacket. I don't love how it fits and the shearling lining is not realistic for southern weather. 1960s period Robert Hall halfbelt in steerhide, wear commensurate with age. Main zip is still smooth and the zipper hem is strong. One pocket has a small stitching...
Hi folks,
Picked this up this week from a fellow lounger, but it's just too big for me. Will provide measurements if requested, but as a regular size 36-38 wearer, this jacket fits just like you'd expect a size 40 jacket would.
This is a JL-made jacket for Worn Out West, a now-defunct...
Hi folks,
Here is a Cal Leather CHP in very fine condition. A few surface marks, but the leather itself is really great, no cracking or anything of that nature. It is super grainy as well. Oddly enough, the jacket is very light and drape-y for a CHP jacket. Given the size, it's still not a...
Hi folks,
I purchased these a little while back and hoped they would fit me. Unfortunately, the top block is just a bit too uncomfortable for me. I do not know what the brand is, but they are definitely nice quality. Thick brown leather that is partially lined with only a few scuffs to note. I...
Hi folks,
Unloading another jacket that just doesn't get worn enough. Cal Leather horsehide six panel cafe racer. This one is pretty unique in that it features dark brown leather with red, white, and blue racing-style stripes, like something you'd see in a vintage Bates flattrack jacket...
Hi folks,
Another jacket up for sale, this time an older 1950s? sportclad jacket. There's really not much to say here, so I'll spare everyone an advertising copy! In terms of flaws, the jacket has: several areas of scuffs or wear, a few dot marks on the back, stitching tear at one area of the...
Hi folks,
Some unexpected expenses mean I need to clear out some of the closet queens. This is a Lost Worlds PJ27 style jacket I purchased a couple years back. The previous seller suspected it was cowhide and I'm inclined to agree, it's relatively lightweight for a Lost Worlds jacket and the...
Hi folks,
Quick listing here. I have this on ebay at a starting price of $100. I can offer a discount if a lounger wins the auction on Ebay (we would just cancel the transaction and finish it without buyer/seller fees at a lower price) or I could sell it now for the price of $235 shipped. I can...
There's an ongoing discussion on jacket flipping in a classified listing right now. I think it's an interesting topic and one I've wondered what TFL's attitude would be, as I do a decent amount of flipping when I have the time - although typically on Ebay. Regardless of one's thoughts towards...
Hi folks,
Selling this one out of my own closet. I don't wear it enough nearly enough as it deserves, and the cash could go to better things right now. I'll list it on Ebay shortly, but I figured I'd post here in advance. This is a really plush jacket - it's noticeably heavy, but the leather...
Hi all,
Just listed this one on Ebay, would obviously prefer to sell it here to avoid their fees. Excellent condition 1950s era Cycle Champ jacket. No cracking or damage to leather. Great grain.
Only flaws to note:
1) Chest and sleeve zippers work smoothly. All other zippers are a bit...
Hi all,
This is a really unique Cal jacket I stumbled onto a while back. A standard six panel CR, but what makes it unusual is the two-tone coloring. It reminds me a lot of a Bates racing shirt. Cal CRs are fairly uncommon to begin with, but I don't think I've ever seen one like this...
Hi all,
I have a couple jackets I'm finally getting around to listing. This is one that's sat in my closet for awhile. It's in great condition with minimal signs of wear. Tagged a size 48 for Leatherman NYC, likely a more recent creation by Cal Leather or Al's Leather. I'll throw it on Ebay in...
Hi all,
I'm listing an assortment of jackets on Ebay right now. There's a lot of different sizes and styles represented, so it's easier just to link the Ebay page versus describing every jacket. I've included basic descriptions of wear and measurements on each listing.
All the jackets are in...
Hi folks,
I'm selling four Bates jackets on Ebay. I've seen them pop up here as well, and since they haven't sold in two auctions, I figured I might as well offer them up for sale here as well. This applies to all of the BIN leather items I have listed, but besides these jackets atm, there's...
Hi folks,
Just listed a jacket on Ebay that I figured I'd post here as well. I purchased this a couple months back and have not worn it outside the house at all. No complaints about the construction or materials, but the cut just isn't what I like. Too rectangular. I should have realized that...
Hi folks, figured I would throw this out here. I have a Vanson CHP2 in good used condition, but it's a bit bulky on me. I think it fits how it should for what it is designed for, but not necessarily what I want. If anyone has a size 36 CHP in similar condition and is interested in sizing up...
Just got this in mail today, so I wanted to share here in a bit more detail than in the new arrival thread.
After hearing about Cal Leather for a long time, I started searching for my own in the fall of last year. I consulted with @JMax, one of the resident Cal experts here. He sent me several...
Hi everyone,
I purchased this from Dannyk late last year, and it just hasn't worked out. It's a nice jacket, but a bit too small. After a couple months of just sitting in my closet without being worn besides to try something on, I think it's best if I offer it to someone else. I bought it for...
