A gorgeous wearable 70s Cal for not too much money here—only replacing as I found one with no gussets. Mid-weight hide a (very slightly) longer cut than their usual super-short front, and the ducktail back make this easy to wear with ordinary trousers. Has the original 70s talon zips and teardrop pulls.

A few pinholes in the lapels and one of the belt loops has been restitched but otherwise a clean and very usable jacket with no rips or tears to the leather or lining. No cigarette, mildew or body odours I can detect, just the particular old leather smell that seems to be common to Cals. I wore this a few times and loved it but I only need 1 Cal!

Asking slightly less than it cost me at £250 plus shipping.

Looks like a perfect fit to me
That being the case probably worth saying that I am approx 135lbs/61kg and 172cm/5’7”—5’8” in the fit pics! It would likely accommodate a somewhat larger person as I wear it with the laces quite tight and I can comfortably wear with a thick sweater.
