Here is a fantastic Cal Leather, horsehide, angle zip, motorcycle jacket in a smaller size (38ish I think). I just bought it but unfortunately it doesn't quite fit; I had this exact model for many years and foolishly sold it. This jacket has a fantastic distressed patina; perhaps the best I've seen on black horsehide in 30 years of collecting. I bought it from the original owner who had it custom made in 1963 when he was 17 years old and worked at a motorcycle shop on Venice Blvd in Los Angeles. He later owned a nearby Suzuki dealership for 40 years.
This jacket is in fabulous condition. All of the zippers and snaps work. The main zipper is missing the pull but appears to be original; the slash pockets have Conmars with original diamond bell pulls. Both wrist zippers are Talons, but they have different pulls, so one may be a replacement.The original, deep black lining is in near mint condition with no tears. The inside breast pocket has a Cal Leather label. I have found no holes or loose seams. The inside cuffs have fur to keep the wind out. I have treated the jacket with conditioner so it is supple and ready to wear. It also comes with the original fur collar that has never been worn.
Measurements:
Chest, pit to pit: 21"
Shoulders, seam to seam: 19"
Back length: 23 7/8"
Waist: 18" (x 2 = 36")
Sleeve, from shoulder seam: 23"
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am relatively new to this site and this is my first sale posting. But I have been buying and selling on eBay since 1998 with perfect feedback for more than 800 transactions. I will be glad to provide a link to my feedback page upon request.
Price is $750 through Paypal F&F, plus actual shipping/insurance costs from Los Angeles, CA using your choice of carrier and class. If local, you are welcome to come by and see it in person. I am willing to ship internationally, but please note that the jacket is heavy and the cost may be as well. Thanks for looking.
