Up for sale is a 1960s Cal-Leather CHP leather jacket color black size 44 in excellent condition. The jacket is extremely hefty and well-built even by Cal-Leather standard, weighs about 6.9 lbs. I've owned five CHPs and one Cafe from them and this one is among their best.

What makes this jacket even more special is the unique combination of a cross zip style and snap cuffs, which are most seen on straight zipper CHP and other styles of jackets. Although Cal-Leather jackets are only made to order, you rarely see this setup, which highly resembles some jackets made by its predecessor company Star Glove in the 40s. For example, this one in the link:

The jacket is super clean, without any odor and is almost flawless. If you look really really close, you may notice that one thread on the right back is stretched a little, which I also include in pictures. Apart from that, only some normal wears.

There's no label or size tag, so although I put it as 44, please check the measurements and judge by yourself.

Approximate measurements:
Shoulder to Shoulder: 20''
Pit to Pit: 24.3''
Sleeve Length: 24.5'' (straight) or 26.5 (around the outer curve)
Back Length (from bottom to the bottom of collar): 24.5''

Asking $330 net shipped within CONUS.

Feel free to reach out, thanks for your time.
