Will do @Riu. I'll drop it off at Johnson Leather sometime this month

Is the cuff backed with leather, that section seems harder than the rest of the sleeve, cool fit again, would be better after the sleeve is trimmed I bet

 

[navetsea]

Thanks @navetsea

Beginning to feel like a vest aficionado over here heh

Great idea, open a lot more combination with jacket. Maybe same jacket would look different worn over a vest

 

[navetsea]

Looks cool! I don't even have the patience to browse in a store too much, I usually go for something specific and quickly get out.

Same here, i always rush when in real store and end up with someting less optimal, especially when the a shop assistant act very helpful by following me around and keep asking me what I want or try to sell me the most popular etc. Someother people might actually feel very pleased by attentive shop assistant and make them feel treated like a vip... to me they put pressure and i feel they need me to find something quick and leave.

Love that collar! I'm really curious how it will look after you send it for alterations. It's a really nice jacket.

I’m also curious to see what JL does with it. Beautiful jacket.

That said, there is just a certain something vintage jackets, and especially Cals imo, exude that current makers, no matter how beautiful and perfect, cannot replicate. An authenticity I think. I dunno.

 

[navetsea]

Maybe if the current made jackets has been worn for 50yrs they too will have aura or patina.

On a Schott roll lately. They certainly fit better the older back you go. 641xx. This thing exceeds expectations. Longer sleeves would have been nice, but it's based on the vintage Beck design. I guess people back then were skinnier with shorter arms.

I don’t think it’s patina. An aura perhaps. I don’t think most of today’s makers will have it in 50 years. They predominantly are copies of the original. And most lack an authenticity of purpose, of being real workwear maybe? They were and are created for different reasons. Just spitballing. Who knows. I truly love them all. Time to watch The Stand.

Me too lol I reached out to JL already and i hope they agree to take the job on.

I'm thinking this was made for Johnny Bravo lol it's around 18.5" Shoulder/22" Chest/17" Waist with massive arms.

Those older Cals/CHPs and all of its versions does have a charm to it

 

[navetsea]

Certainly scary a figure who can fill up that jacket's sleeve

I'm a little lazy with taking pictures of myself....

Looks awesome. How is the mobility? Can you zip it up and drive or hold a phone to your ear for 5 minutes?

Thanks. I can comfortably do so as long as I'm not wearing a sweater thicker than this.

Looks great! I had a waxed canvas jacket and I liked it, probably going to get another one as I do miss it.

Great job getting rid of creases. They always scare me. The jacket looks fantastic.

This is really cool! I know someone'd say it's a bit oversized in the shoulders or something but it just looks great. Not that boring-ass perfect fit but the kind with an attitude. Flawless victory, if I am to be asked.
