What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Man with these beautiful photos from Danny and Terry I thought I’d give a try at throwing up some pics of the Bootlegger to show how pretty the CXL is. So I packed up and went outside and...Blamo! Dog ass:

I quickly retreated to my wash closet so I can fully showcase this lovely piece of leather. I haven’t had many occasions to wear it but putting it on...after all this denim, it’s like recovering from amnesia. Supposed to be a raw day here tomorrow with 1-3” of snow. I’ll be sporting the Bootlegger for sure.

Amazing jacket. Truly is. And has the perfect chest to waist drop for my body type. He said I think I have something that would work well for you. What he meant is I have something perfect for you.

It certainly is perfect man. The collar is the perfect finishing touch. Cool color. No belt loops dresses it up a bit. And one piece back?, not something commonly seen on a Cal. This jacket is awesome. You motivated me to put on one of mine to sit on my couch to watch the nba playoffs.

You should see the other he has. That I couldn’t afford at this time haha. The collar on it is so beautiful. Museum like piece. And that one had loops. I actually was looking for a belt loop-less jacket. I have so many cross zips and so many have belts. This just turned out to be perfect for me.

It is perfect. Total home run that looks custom for you.

No doubt he has an impressive collection. I just don’t think they fit me. Too bad.

+1 on what @JMax said.
The one piece back is a new one on me as well. Cool!
I love me my Cals too!!

I had one just like that but with a black collar. Truly regret selling it. The gray collar is **God Tier. Man I’m hunting for one of these again. Much prefer these over the cross zip, though both are very nice.

Greetings All:
Today....glad i dug out the old Gap trucker because i forgot how really nice it is. Not near the Aeros and LWs and Vansons but a very nice hide on this one. It just needs rode hard for awhile to get some respect.
About the best $50 i ever spent.
Be well. Bowen

Yeah the collar is AMAZING. The fit is unreal for a vintage find or rather someone alerting me to the fact they had one they thought would work for me. I am for real elated at the fit. For me it’s 99.999999% perfect. Which isn’t to say it’s not perfect we’re just all waiting for perfection. Which we know doesn’t exist, but hell if this is the closest I get then I can die happy.
