Maybe not a deal, but sure is interesting. Too small for me

I admit it. I want this!! Made in San Francisco and still there. I don't care if it doesn't fit! I would go a good price for this, but the opening bid is $475. Hard to imagine getting a bid, but it is unique and all together a cool collectors piece. Doubtful you would see another.

It's pretty cool! I want it too, but not sure how I'd wear it. Seems warm.

I fairly confident I can't wear it, but still want it.

I really like this Ralphs-Pugh also too small for me.

Ive only handled one Ralphs-Pugh, and the leather on it was surprisingly fantastic.

You either love or hate the tassels, but I actually really like this jacket.

$25 shipped, which seems to be really nice price. Can't find any information on "House of Morgan" for leather stuff. Unfortunately, its a bit too small for me. Chest and length measurements work out, but the shoulder to sleeve measurement is only 21 inches!

LOVE this jacket as well and have drooled over it even knowing its way too small for me.

But reviewing this label a bit closer I find it interesting the Cleaning Instruction. I have never seen this recommendation on a jacket. "USE WARM WATER AND CASTILE SOAP" I don't know if this is just for the sheerling portion or the entire jacket. I've seen leather jackets from time to time that were labeled as "WASHABLE"---which may have been a "thing" back then that was marketed---like, maybe it just wasn't known to most that you could clean your leather jackets or something. I had read that Castile soap isn't PH neutral and is therefore not the best option for cleaning leather (at the risk of venturing dangerously into the cleaning/conditioning debate ). Interesting to me on a few levels. Great jacket though. I especially dig the back. Its not a one piece but what they did with the multi pieces is beautiful. Alas, the smaller sized man wins again on this one!!!!!

Well thats about one of the best looking Bates Ive ever seen. I dont know about the leather quality or how good it would be to ride in since I dont ride, but simply aesthetically speaking, thats a beaut for Bates.

I periodically return to this ad just to see if the jacket grew.

Lucky to small for me I have jacket coming out of my ears maybe not such a bad probllem

Lesco at 42 can only have 22.5" + P2P. And I think that's a Long version of the jacket, too. I'd grab this, sell the Aero and not look back if I were you.

Monitor is right the pit to pit turned out to be 22.5"
