IMHO this Cal is both find and deal. Better than Langlitz, Buco, insert whatever else here….

It's the sleeve length this kicks me around about it.

It LOOKS longer than 23" sleeves but photos can be deceiving.

The Leather looks amazing, and it's really in great shape.

Been looking at this one for a while but the shoulder seems small and the chest quite big. Also bit of cracking on the shoulder.

lso bit of cracking on the shoulder

That cracking can only be repaired with a new back yoke. No lotion or potion is going to fix that. These are great jackets, I own several, they are out there in much better condition.

I just noticed the 40s zipper pull on this jacket. All the others I've seen/owned have a 50s pull, which doesn't provide much dating information. These Chrome Tanned jackets must have started around 1950 and ran through the 50s.

No question there are problems with the size and condition. But I love this. No side laces and no badge holder. If there are lots out there please post them!!

Most of these jackets are now in a storage room in Illinois

I'm not saying your going to find one tomorrow, but you chances are better than many other jackets.

Mostly pointing out that this damage is not a minor issue and repairing this is expensive.

Go for it!

OMG!!!!!
But why does it have to be a 42 ?!?

 

[KBlake]

I'm tempted to snatch this up for myself as it's in my size, it's in pristine condition, and the price is more than reasonable. My wife would kill me so that's not happening.

The seller has TWO of them, but they both appear to be the same size. Kinda rubbing it in.
