Got you, I love my Cals, but they are heavy. Real heavy, to the point of not being everyday jackets. Those CRs I can wear more casually. Both have a place in my closet.
Absolutely, I can understand you. It probably has more to do with the fact that I personally don't like the CR jackets with their Chinese collars. But if you enjoy it, enjoy wearing these.

So, I think my saga with HD One Pocket Sportster has come to an end, thanks to @Marc mndt .The Sportster was my first real leather jacket back in 2020 when @Monitor recommended I pick up one for a song on ebay. It was size 42, and too big unfortunately. I sold it. I then picked up another 42, and guess what, too big as well. It went to Australia. Not to be accused of being a definition of insanity, I then picked up a 38. You guessed it, too small. Off it went. This is a 40, and I think I finally got it. Pretty sure it is horsehide, too, with Conmatic zippers dated either 1954 or 1964. Either way, this one is staying.
