Another Cat's Eye appears. And it appears to be like new! I bought a black one several years ago and thought it was the coolest even though it doesn't fit! I was able to find a brown one that fits, so I'm somewhat satisfied. I still seek a Black one that fits.

These jackets were made by California Sportswear Co. in the late 40s early 50s for Montgomery Ward. These are the last of the Aviator style jackets that were first introduced in the late 1930s.

These are as fine a vintage leather jacket as you will find.

I encourage anyone that can wear this jacket to contact the seller. If this fit me I would not hesitate to start a talk.

If think I would go as high as $850 (if it were my size).

I think I would too.

Others are scouring Facebook Marketplace and think they are searching off the beaten path...Marc is looking at friggin Pasadena City College Flea Market. That is a different ballgame, folks.

I have a house very near the college. When ever I can, I visit my tenants (friends) who are in the garment industry. One is a fabric buyer and designer, and the husband is a designer. They often visit both the rose bowl and the college. I think it's time for me to do the same. If the jacket fits me nicely, I probably will pay $850.

Is Fox Creek any good? Quality? Or is it trying to confuse folks it's Fine Creek?

Naked cow. Nice jackets with ventilation. Heavy too. I’m not a naked cow guy, but if it’s your cup o tea, another good option. And FC styling isn’t my preference but the jackets seem very functional, which I like. I used to live in VA so as you can imagine a fair number of folks have FC jackets. To a man, they said the customer service and folks at the shop were top notch.

Edit— and they have been around much longer than Fine Creek. Totally different target audience and jackets.
