Thank you very much for posting, I jumped on it immediatley. I already have two Enfields, a very nice vintage C2, a Model B and my 6 year old Comet I love to death. But hey, whatchu gonna do am I right?
You bet you're right! Congrats! I too have two Enfields (one in HH), a Comet, a Bandit, a model E, a Maverick and a vest. I needed just one more to have a different jacket for every day of the week. It's on the way: another Maverick, in an unusually light color, so dunno If it'll suit me...

this one is really tempting. I think it's a tad small for me. Contemplating since it's lamb how stretchy it'll be. Seems to be some sub brand of Y2, but for whatever reason, no one is following it or bidding it up and price is sub $200 right now with 24 hours to go. All their other jackets seem to be around $1k range plus. If it doesn't get any bids and drops down a few more bucks, I might WTF it.

Did you see the tear on the shoulder? That could be problematic with sheepskin.

Whilst performing my daily search, I happen to stumble upon what appears to be a desirable looking leather jacket toward which, I am of the opinion, someone might develop an interest henceforth I am sharing the link through which the possibility of acquirement of this jacket can manifest itself as reality.

You have alleviated a lot of angst by purchasing it. I saw a "you have received an offer" notification on eBay this AM and headed over to consider it. And saw it was gone. I was happy and sad at the same time. Beautiful Cal. Perhaps one of a kind at this point in time. Please post pictures when it arrives.

haha same, i was resisting from buying and then an offer came in this morning and i caved in.

I have another Cal leather thats pretty beat up, missing the belt and belt loops. I think this one might be a size up too.

I did. Thanks for watching my back :D Definitely made me pause. Looks more like a scuff not all the way through. But so hard to tell from photos and can't reach out to seller since it's via a proxy. If it drops down to $100 I might chance it.

That's cool! Lightning zips it looks like. Canadian made I assume.
Not sure. The shop has all kinds of makes, Canadian, US and European. They have a Cal I tried on a few weeks ago. Way too small for me, sleeves were half way up my arms. They have a Langlitz Columbia marked 40 in near new condition ;)

its really hard to search Cal leather jacket on here for some reason? is there a cal leather thread?
I visited the cal leathers shop a few months back. There were some good replies in that thread with various info. Search under my name and "visit" or something to that effect. Sorry, on mobile right now, otherwise I'd try and pull up.

edit: here's a cool one too about a 50's one I found. Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things | The Fedora Lounge
