"It's been a while since I bought it, so I think it will be in stock for the first time in more than 10 years."

He claims he has had it for 10 years but it's clearly the jacket that sold on eBay a couple of weeks ago. Same creases. Or did something get lost in translation?

It amazes me that for reselling at that price they post lower quality pictures than that of the original listing. Seems they have poor quality photos for most of their items. Not sure if it’s just on my end

Also near dead stock with the back adjuster snipped off.

I think they’re saying they haven’t had one in 10 years.

That's right. ChatGPT much much better than google translate.

I waited for this jacket to show up for about 2 years now, but this 42 is the biggest size I've encountered, and it fits small. I looked at this one for days, passing it on. Here is the original catalogue size chart, this NZ made 42 looks to fit like current Momoa 38.

I’ve never seen a Cal with these shoulder gussets?

The press studs on the collars under the leather look out of place too.

Is this an ALs jacket or some other brand?

Seems to be Aero for Toyo/Sugar Cane. Amazing crossover.

Didn't Nate's make that disaster jacket you got?

@Aloysius -- Yes, it's long gone now, and it didn't cost all that much. It was a "fitting" jacket for someone who basically "dumped" his order after it was made. The fellow was apparently ~ 6' 9" tall or so. And for that size of person it would work. For me....no go. Impulse buy. Not impulse sale!

I have certainly made more than my share of mistakes in this hobby, but buying a "bomber" jacket with a 30"+ back length had to be one of the most comical mistakes I have made. And overall, other than a really warm winter coat, I do not go for bombers at all.
