Cal Leathers Cross Zip CHP Size 42-44 (?)

[Jasonissm]

Hello,

Bought this one from @Aloysius but unfortunately a bit too small for me. It fits and looks good but feels a touch tight.
Awesome Conmar diamond pulls, awesome grain all over the jacket. Liner is pretty much in pristine condition, this one also has a solid V-taper, especially if you cinch up for a nice look. Cal Leathers white tag on the inside as well.

Super nice jacket, super heavy hide. Small amount of fraying at the male end of the zipper as shown here:

Measurements:
23.5 inch pit to pit
19.5 inch shoulder
25 inch back length (from base of collar)
20 inch hem (without cinch)



Looking to make back what I paid which is $550 + shipping from Australia

Cheers friends!

Friends, let me tell you this jacket has amazing leather. Feels like the vintage jacket equivalent of Vanson comp weight.

It’s a shame the jacket was slightly too short for me and slightly too narrow for Jason, but anyone who gets this jacket is in for something great.

For reference, I found it too short and my suit size is 40L, so someone who’s a 42R, 40R, 40S, or 38R will suit this to a T.

One extra inner pocket, interesting. This hide looks awesome! If this jacket was 20-21" p2p, I'd consider taking it.
And about the fraying tape on this Serval zip, it's very easy to fix.
GLWS!

What is the straight measured shoulder to cuff please?

What is the straight measured shoulder to cuff please?

In the mean time I can say that the sleeve length of this jacket (I was the brief previous owner) felt just slightly shorter than my Schott Perfecto and Aero Ridley jackets with 26" sleeves, because the sleeve design of the Cal sort of incorporates the shoulder. I remember thinking they might be too short before I tried it on.

Hi mate, it is 24", but don't let that deter you, I have a Vanson with 25.5" sleeve and this basically fits the same. Aloysius is correct, there is some trickery with the shoulder which is elongated and the arm hole is slightly lower so using @Canuck Panda patented dress shirt measuring technique (measures "true" arm measurement, goes from base of neck centre, to shoulder, then down to cuff): we get 35.5", for reference my size 44 Vanson Model E, has 36" with that measurement while having a shoulder to cuff of 25.5"

Bump!

This one needs to be moved on as I just got a different Cal that fits me awesomely!

Looks like steerhide, right?
I have 3 CALs in HH and the grain is totally different
