When you have some time, more pictures of this jacket would be appreciated.

I have pictures with King Arnold on the set of T2. And just outside the elevator of his and my hotel. They were filming the scene when he “kills” himself in the factory. So cool. I was 15 or so. Arnold was amazing.

Fall-like weather has miraculously (freakishly?) returned to NYC, and so I broke out the Aero Vicenza Board Racer for its first public outing.

I'm still liking the fit in general, and the sleeves are developing nicely from a few days of indoor break-in.

The shoulder creases are... what they are, I guess. Reading a few other Aero threads, it seems to be a common occurrence. Hopefully it tampers down with break-in, or at least blends in better at the leather develops.

I remember those Learherman Cal! Are they confirmed to be Cal? Always tempted to buy one when they still had stock. And that tight spiral staircase

hmm, thanks hh21! if it was a theory that Branded made them, I may be able to just find out by asking Branded. I was just talking to Peter yesterday...But, the person at the shop once said some lady in Ohio made these jackets...

Gwen of CAL told me that they definitely used to make them for Leatherman at some point but there used to be a lot of leather makers, exclusive to the BLUF scene we don't even know about, that used to make the exact same jacket so it's really hard to tell for sure.

I did some digging and found at least three leather shops in Germany that produce CAL based leather jackets that you won't see appearing in Google search. And they cost a lot, around 2000 Euros a jacket.

Anyway, I like that gay leather scene version the most. Short length is what makes it so cool and more wearable than the regular one. Never liked that bigass, curved kidney panel, myself.

very cool! Yea, I just think of Freddie Mercury when looking at a Cal-style jacket....

Found an affordable jacket in the same style as the Loro Piana Traveler Windmate Jacket from The Blacklist. Has a James Spader vibe when paired with a panama. Today's weather is warm, but brisk. Hope my hat doesn't blow off my head.

Just regular cowhide.

Lately after 2way zip and leather piped edge upgrade, I wear this thin denim mock up jacket a lot more than its cow hide twin. The tab on the back I usually put in my drawer and not faded, the jacket this past 8 years mostly hanging in my room actually fading that much only from indirect uv and air oxidation.... scary sun exposure we have here at higher elevation on the equator , my sofa cushions are also another clear example they went from terracota to pale yellow

LOL. I don’t think “just regular cowhide” comes in 6oz.
