Maybe i have been unlucky, but i still have not experienced a "good" Cal...
I have had 4 in total, 3 CHP and 1 Cafe racer, and all of them have been pretty disappointing.
My first one was a 60s padded CHP (teardrop talon zippers), the stitching on that one was horrible and the leather was thin and vinyl like, sent it back.
The second one was an unpadded version from the same era, it was just as bad and went back to the seller too.
My third one was the red Cafe racer, it's not bad, but not great either, the stitching is average, the leather is thin, if it wasn't red and rare i would have sent it back.
Fourth one is a later era center zip CHP, YKK zippers, same messy stitching and average leather, bought on TFL so couldn't send it back but i would have done so if i could. It's used as a riding jacket by my GF when she comes on the bike with me.
I'm still looking, hoping i will finally score a good one, but they are hard to find...
It'll happen.
