This jacket is a first test model of a reproduction, based on one of our original California Sportwear jackets. We've had this jacket since 2009, and finally made this copy of it. A customer requested that we copy the jacket worn by Bruce Willis in the movie Surrogates. Our original is nearly identical to his jacket, with the exception of the upper back design. We copied the jacket with this commonly seen back design.

The jacket is extremely comfortable and looks superb. We made this one from dark seal brown Italian veg-tanned horsehide, and it has hefty weight, but is very comfortable. This jacket was made with a vintage main brass Talon zipper, and a vintage brass ring-chain chest zipper, which the original jacket had as well. We have a good mumber of these vintage zippers.

The lining is durable 100% cotton, and is of a color style similar to several photos of the Willis original jacket (the jacket in the movie, which he wears as a hero jacket, is definitely an original California Sportwear jacket from the late 1940s). The thread is 100% cotton in a brown shade with reddish tint. Just for fun, the buttons are vintage 2-hole models from the late 1040. We do not have more of these.

This pattern of Californian (which we named the Modoc, after a county in Northeastern California), will be available in any of our leather and lining choices.

Please let us know your dimensions (height, weight, and chest circumference), and we will know how well this one should fit.
