Video: Half-baked Half-Belt Round UP-New and Old

[tmitchell59]

This one stars my Californian Black Horsehide Half-Belt. Co-Stars 2 Good Wear and one Bill Kelso Californians.

I've got a couple of more Videos ready and a couple of more to do.

I was so close to buying that californian. It seems by your fit it is larger than sellers measurements.

It sold twice. I bought on the second sale. I don't recall the numbers. I didn't think I would have problem selling it if didn't fit. I wore it around last night. One of the best fitting comfortable jackets I own of any vintage.

This Californian (original) is about as nice as it gets to me. I have not seen another like it in black. The seller had been searching for this very jacket, but didn't like the fit on him. He had not seen another in Black.

I thought about you when I was doing an upcoming video. I have a Sportclad that will interest you. Sorta an earlier rendition of the square pocket Hercules, near mint.

When it all shakes out the Californian will be here, the others will not.

The Californian is top of my Half-belt pile, but there are others near. The Good Wears will be the Californians of the future. I'm a chameleon of sorts when it comes to size and have a good sense of what will fit when I am buying. I don't worry about fit. I buy jackets that don't fit me if I like them. I say I am buying them for some one else, so they are sold.

While I may think they are a bargain these jackets are not inexpensive. I've got a lot of money in this collection. I have a formula of sorts I use when buying. There is a bit calculation in the madness than may appear.

The Dodger has to be a reference to the Los Angeles Dodgers. And Arcadia is a city in Southern Cal. Clever names to pay homage to the label.

That original one is so nice.

Maybe there will be a Duarte or San Pedro in the future.
How about Zyzxx?
