Southern hemisphere "winter" powers on. 6c start. To reach 17C by 3pm. Sou'/ Sou' west squalls all day.
Certainly the weather for the Schott 740N steerhide Pea jacket.
Shot taken at Trigg surf beach , no surfers today (too rough).
The next squall behind me on the horizon.

About the same temperature here today in our summer. You’ll find me in a T-shirt and denim jacket :)

Yes I hear you mate. I have been out of the Northern hemisphere coming 30 years and could not now cope with the temperature conditions. My wife and I discuss moving within Australia to "avoid" the future winters once we are retired.
Far north Queensland has it's allure (Cyclones and humidity aside....)

You are right, out of the Cals I have owned, only this one is perfect. I never will part with it. At some point I will reline it, though I am am not sure with what.
About when was this made, do you know? It looks like its in too good of shape from the era I picture in my mind, but has that look. In any case its freaking perfect for that style. Wouldnt change a thing.

My guess is late 50s. Most of my other ones were 60s, when/where you see a different leather and different pulls. Also, I asked Gwen to date a straight-zip Cal I owned with the same leather-- she estimated early Cal, 50s. This one is in perfect shape, though the main zip was replaced. The seller knew what he had and it cost me lol.

Thats what I thought but didnt want to say it aloud in case I was wrong haha. But also as I indicated their was a voice in my head saying it was too perfect to be that old. WOW!

For this style and paired with those pants I agree that it looks too short. Try pairing it with high rise trousers and it will look just fine imo.
If I understand correctly, it's all about the trousers..in General, does it suit me? sleeve, back? thanks.
