Hey TFL,

It's in good used condition, see full set of pics on ebay link below for a few areas of note. Asking $550 shipped via PPFF for TFL Members, international buyers can find it listed on eBay for intl shipment (please also see listing for all the pics):

This jacket very clearly draws inspiration from the Lewis Leathers Aviakit Cyclone jacket. It's a Japanese mens size 36 so it fits very similar to Lewis Leathers Tight Fit size 36. Basically a small to a very slim medium. Measurements to come.
When i reached out to Addict Clothes for condition advice, they said the following about this jacket:
Hi,
This explanation is a little difficult.
This jacket is a long time ago.
In addition, this jacket has a dye finish. Usually it has a pigment finish.
So this leather sucks in oil and looks like a stain.
Furthermore, this leather gradually loses its color.
Usually we add oil to darken the color when it comes off.
That method should be effective this time as well.
Regards

It's been cleaned and conditioned but there are some stains in the armpit area. Other than that, it has a killer muted red patina and other little signs of wear and works perfectly. No odors or functional issues. It is super soft and supple medium thickness hh.
