Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[Leather Walker]

Brown Fidelity size 40, CA$112: Etsy

Not a Cal Leathers. California Sportswear is the maker. Really nice. Worth? Depends on many factors but I would say the full asking price ($375) is more than fair, even low.

You sure about sizing? Nothing posted except small. Lol

Edit:: S2S- 18” ; P2P- 20” ; sleeve- 24”

​

​ What decade do you estimate it is from?

I know post-Aero LVC can be hit-or-miss but this seller is throwing out offers with pretty deep discounts on one of the cooler designs I've seen from them. Black roughout/suede with a smooth brown leather collar.

This was a joke BTW. Sounds like elastic is not for everyone, or me.

This is my vote for most unfortunate use of elastic....but this jacket is so heavy-duty and badass it's forgivable.

It's the one thing that puts me off the Maurader

I'm seriously thinking of having the elastic removed and the leather trimmed. Quite a simple adjustment.

Vintage Cal. Does anyone know what it's worth? I'm thinking about sending an offer on it.

California Sportswear no doubt. I own 2 like it with no collar. These jackets are horsehide from the early to mid 1950s. $375 is a steal. Send me the link if you don't want it.

This one is near mint. The finest horsehide

All I know is that metal 33 tag should not be on this particular LVC jacket. That metal tag is for an Apalachian MC repro hence the biker description on the back.

Looking forward to fit pics @the shivman . You make the pics look 70 years old, like that jacket.

I was curious how there was any wear at all despite the fact it had tags. Thanks for the info.

that's a cool jacket

This is one of the two I have seen with the original detachable collar. I've never owned one with a collar, so I am quite envious.

I own many CSC jackets, MC and sports, they are equal in quality to any brand I have owned and more often better.

They are classic 40/50s fit. Square shoulders and short to the point.

Check out this thread.

Look forward to seeing/hearing about your new jacket.
