Took my chances with a vtg Johnson Leather CHP on ebay.
This thing is a monster, over 10 lbs heavy, yet very comfortable and most importantly very practical in design - it has three insode pockets, two outside, all leather lined.
It runs larger than what I usually wear, 21“ shoulders instead of the 19.5“ I usually shoot for and it is very long for a CHP - maybe originally made for a taller man, though the sleeves make me doubt it. I dont mind either, I call this the „Twin Peaks“ fit - I recently rewatched that show and James wears a moto jacket atleast one size too large, so.. Twin Peaks fit.

I would have thought this fit looked familiar but had trouble placing it. It does indeed look like James from Twin Peaks lolTook my chances with a vtg Johnson Leather CHP on ebay.

It most certainly is a late 80s or early 90s take on the CHP style too, it is the old vtg JL label and the entire beasts dimensions are way off from a 50s MC style; it is atleast 2“ longer than any Cal I ever handled and has this 80s/90s wide shoulder design.. the pit to pit is <21.5“ inch, so this is a size 40-42 with crazy wide shoulders by design, not me oversizing by 5 sizes..
so the design period also puts it very fitting into Twin Peaks territory.
