Good Wear Shinki Leather Californian

[JCSD]

Acquired this awesome Good Wear (Californian) Ventura recently and it’s worthy of the adulation. Unfortunately it’s not an ideal fit for me so would love to send it off to a new home. Condition is a 8.5-9 out of 10 in my opinion and the original zipper was swapped out for a heavy duty two-way YKK by Dena at Great Leather. A great shade of brown for this Shinki hide. Two buttoned interior pockets.

Size marked 42 but please see measurements:

22” pit to pit
18” shoulders
24.5” sleeves measured around the curve
24.25” back length
26” front length

Price is $975 including CONUS shipping paid via PayPal F/F. No international shipping at this time.

Darn, too small, and I only have one Ventura! Oh well.

That looks really nice. GLWS!

I have an original Cal very close to this one in your size. I also have this one in size 44. Pleasant jacket. The original is so much softer than my repro.

Beautiful jacket. Do you have any pics with the jacket on? Would like to see how it looks if it’s not too much trouble.

Damn that is pretty, wish it ran a bit truer to 42, ugh.

In any case glws, gorgeous piece.

@JCSD allowed me to tried this beauty in person. it fits much larger than the measurement suggests. I have a 20 inches Shoulder with a 43.5 inches chest, typically wear size 44 and this jackets fit me snugly & comfortably. Only turned the deal down because the sleeves are a touch short for my liking.

I used to own one very, very similar to this (maybe the same one...before the zipper change). It was a stellar jacket, but too tight fitting for me. Quality is unbelievable of course, and its a classy looking cut.

This is a beautiful jacket. Mine has the "silky" lining. Love it. Have many original half belts. However, I truly like to get my hand on a size 44 GW Arcadia.

Same one indeed and it is a stellar piece.

The original Hookless on it wasn’t functioning properly.
