Got my Cal today from one of John's sales. The 42L cross zip one.
I know from reading some of the many great posts here, there's a few where you see people talking about their epiphany jacket. Well, include me in that group now. Absolutely love this thing and question why I need so many other jackets now. Overall build. Pattern. Just stylish, comfortable, sleek, and is everything I think about when I think about a motorcycle, rock n roll kind of jacket. Wish it were another .25-.5 inch in the waist and bottom hem, but considering it's been stuffed in a box for a week and a little on the dry side, I'm hoping some conditioner and airing out will give it a little more wiggle. Worse case, it'll be tshirt and unzipped, or straight out lose 5 pounds because I'm never giving this thing up. And yeah, the sleeves could be another .5 as well. But as the saying goes, if you can zip it, it fits. Going to see if I can get a sheepskin collar at Cal. They're actually like half hour away from me. Never realized that.
Also, thinking about taking out the side lacing. It's stretched to the max, so kind of draws attention there I think. Might be more natural looking without them. Let me know what you think.
Looks great! Cal jackets are so cool. I mean, they're out there, they don't cost a lot and nothing else on the market can as much as touch them. I don't mind the laces, even if untied.
Hound doesn't seem terribly impressed with the jacket, tho.
