2) Made in California Golden Bear Varsity Jacket There was a discussion on AAAC a while back about these jackets, with people being split over whether they liked them or not. I came down on the "not" side.... Until I saw this one! Made in California by Golden Bear back when it was a premier leather company a la Schott, this jacket has beautifully soft leather sleeves and a wonderfully soft leather collar. The shell is wool and nylon, as is common in even the better Varsitys--think of Schott and Sterlingwear standard wool-blend peacoats here for comparison--and the cuffs and waist are both striped and nice and tight, with no pilling or stretch. The zipper moves fluidly, and is a heavy-duty YKK. There are a couple of minor marks on the shoulder and collar, as shown, but otherwise this jacket is in excellent condition. Please note that the reissue of this jacket is now SOLD OUT, but retailed at $350. See here: http://www.unionmadegoods.com/golden...eeves_515.html Asking just $65 > 60 > 56 > 53 or offer. Tagged a L, but would fit around a 42 or 44 best--please see Measurements: Chest: 25 1/2 Sleeve: 25 Shoulder: 22 Length: 25
