Help! Vintage Cafe Racer Jacket Required By Small UK Female

[bn1966]

Hi Loungers,

Help needed here, my girlfriend wants a vintage cafe racer jacket. Any ideas apart from E-Bay where one might be sourced?

Any traders in London or Southern UK of particular interest.

Thanks Lee

Worn Out West (WoW Retro) probably has the best stock of vintage leather at the best prices right now. Try their Mercer Street shop at Seven Dials (they have a men's and women's branch next door to each other), just off Long Acre. But they've been running that down so also have a look at the Drury Lane shop.

Thanks for that Baron, it's now on my radar. I hadn't heard of it.

You could try Nigel at Hi-Star he has masses of jackets, sells on his website, eBay and from a stall in Portobello Road, also at autojumbles and the like.
Nigel deals mainly in 1960s jackets, some belonging to actual Rockers that used to ride cafe racer bikes.
Worth a look.

Thanks Rocketeer that's very useful information. I've heard of Hi-Star through E-Bay. Have to find out when he's trading at Portobello Rd.
