    Reproduction Lewis "Lightning" motorcycle Jacket

    Made by ACDC Leather of Japan. ACDC leathers specialize in reproducing 1960's cafe racer style leather jackets. As is usually the case with Japanese re-pops, this is a really faithful copy of Lewis Leather's "lightning" model with all the bells and whistles. These are really hard to get outside of Japan.

    Jacket is size 44R - these are cut to fit really snug, though - so double check measurements. Armpit-to-armpit = 21" - Waist = 40" - Shoulders = 19" - The leather is a really supple cowhide. The lining is a red quilted nylon. Condition is basically new except for on blemish on the lapel where I previously had mounted a RAF badge.

    $200 + shipping

    Bump

    Hey folks, this jacket is still available. I'd really like to sell it, and since I just bought a vintage Schott 118, I'm what they call a motivated seller. How does $150 or best offer sound?
