I hope so.
It also feels heavier than 12oz I guess it's the way it is woven.

Cal fresh out the box from Reg. This started as a Thedi day but it’s definitely ending up Cal! Pic-heavy but y’all I’m so over the moon with this one
The fit feels perfect. I can move around with no issues. Will have to give it some long wear to determine if it aggravates my shoulder but it certainly feels less restrictive than the Aero 50s halfbelt in tank armor CXL I had recently.
The hide is beautiful, weighty but disappears while on, interesting grain especially the back. Just incredible.
Thanks @regius

Hell yeah! Cals rule! Those stretch marks look like horse. Is that possible, or were these later Cals all steer?

You will like straight zip better than cross-zip. I do.Now perhaps i just need the straight zip

Especially on the back it looks like the effect on some Lost Worlds hides. Not sure if it’s hide composition or just age?
Pretty sure it is hide grain. Looks like LW horsehide, absolutely. I just never saw these kinds of striations on steer, maybe someone can chime in. Awesome jacket. There is something about those Cals, no doubt. On my cross zip all the weight disappeared as well once you put it on. I felt ensconced in it.

Just took a look on the Cal Leather site, they have a few old horsehide jackets for sale so it’s possible this one is horsehide. The only tag is the little one by interior pocket with Cal-Leather name on it

I finally pulled the trigger on a new jacket. I just paid for a Vanson Maverick with Thurston Brothers. Going with one of the dark brown leathers that Thurston offers. Now I wait for the fit jacket.
Carrie was super helpful btw. I will keep everyone posted through the process.

Your incoming jacket pictures read like Mic Dundee gone walkabout. Quite a journey.
I like these but think I am a bit too short to pull them off.
I worried this one may be too long for me actually. 32” is a bit long for in the body for me, I may need 1” trimmed from the length.

Just arrived, wow! I will probably never find one like this in my size, sad. Size 40 and stunning.
Of all the possible cross zips m/c jackets, I like this Buco layout the best. Can you wear it?

My favorite Buco, hence my disappointment. I can not at my current size zip it. I want one!
Nailed it!
