Catch and release on this nice older 1950's Cal in a very unusual size - a snug 46 or a standard 44 but both as a size Long.
Has a tag in it from a California dealer called Mline Brothers, apparently it was originally sold through them. Jacket is clean and odor free with thick, heavy (Horse?) hide leather, lining in good condition, reddish colored fur in the sleeve cuffs. Only a light leather smell in this jacket. Do note than the jacket is ~ 65-75 years old and as such, there are some cracked leather areas in the upper sleeves & shoulders. I sent this jacket to Cal Leathers and Gewn did some repairs to a few areas, replaced the main zipper and was able to confirm the date being early to mid 1950's. She also added new laces and zipper pull laces. There are two snaps in the rear belt loop holders that will need repaired, or you can leave them and wear the jacket as-is, I did not notice this prior to it going to Cal-Leathers.
Asking $625 shipped CONUS - about $50 less than I have in it. International shipping at actual cost.
Dimensions - no tag size, but fits like a trim - long 46 -
Pit to pit - 23.5"
Torso - shoulder to hem - 24.5"
Waist - adjustable with laces ~ 20.5"
Sleeve - straight - 26.5"
Shoulders - 19.5"
Back - 26"
