Description: a 'vintage' 1980's version of the classic Cafe racer style biker-dude jacket.my buddy picked this up in England (i have 2 more coming up sometime this summer). this has 1970's sort of Langlitz Leathers Columbia style, TT Leathers, Lewis Leathers sort of vibe- thick leather and heavily padded. this has been worn! edge wear on.. edges. even patina throughout and plenty of lite scuffing. no major gouges or holes or real damage. some cool patches added at some point. some loose threads here and there. no armor but double layers of leather and foam padding on shouders, elbows lower back/kidneys. pockets are all there. all snaps and zippers work. some zipper teeth are missing though. inner lining has been repaired down spine area, possibly for the adding of patches? otherwise lining is rip/hole/smell free. i have cleaned and oiled (neatsfoot) the jacket but the leather is still a little stiff in spots- especially the belt (cut it off!!) and collar area. could use another conditioning pass or two. the leather is NOT brittle and there is no cracking anywhere- just a little stiff. pretty much a OOAK, one of a kind, unique jacket that will have a somewhat *limited* appeal- i think you are going to have to be a fanboy/gal slash serious kawasaki enthusiast to rock this jacket. and you're going to need to like motorhead, but really, who doesn't?! approx. a 38" chest. my girl is modeling the jacket because it is too small for me to wear (i'm a size 42). she is 5'7" 120 lbs and fit. she is a size 4 most of the time and wears a 26. it was pointed out to me during the photo shoot that the right wrist patch has been sewn in such a way as to have a "secret pocket", it will fit a Bic sized item (or a modern day tube of cannabis- which i don't think were sold/packaged that way in the 70's).. kinda cool. holler with any questions,doug Lewis Leathers Aviakit Wolf Kett Mascot Westco Brimaco Rawhide Frank Thomas Cal-Leathers 6 PanelKraftwerk, unisex, 1980's German French, new wave, autobahn, OOAK, Motorrad, la motocyclette, motorbike ,bikercore, battle jacket, la Moto, 普通自動二輪車, 大型自動二輪車, horsehide steerhide Harley-Davidson Herm’s Leathertogs Beck Northeaster Buco Bates Rocky Vanson Johnson’s johnson Mr. S Rob Amsterdam NYC bLUF Tauber Langlitz Schott Belstaff Cal Lewis Leathers rockabilly cafe racer mod rocker hip-hop heavy-metal Dio Sabbath memento mori cruising cool-rocking-daddy bear trousers, give the dog a bone, jeans dungarees pantaloons breeches jodhpurs, sorry but 'sons of anarchy' was an absolutely miserable show, totally Gay_Interest flap-jackin' Johnny Cakes, get em' while their hot! old school hoodlum dirty greaseball neckbeard crumbum hecka delicious Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco treat!
