Hey, since the Brooks racers seem to be pretty popular around here, doing a quick interest check. I have one of the mustard color ones with burgundy liner. I'll double check measurements, but I think a 42. It fits me well at 6'0 185 lbs. I'd say it's 90% clean. Some shredded liner on one of the wrist zips and a couple very little patch repairs in the main liner. Leather is good all around. Has beautiful tear drop talons from the chest pockets and the sprite style main.

Two main modifications though is I cut out the wind flap because it was this nasty greenish orange snot colored thing. Tried so many times to condition it to darken and other things and just did not look good. I know some of the historians here will cry sacrilege, but trust me, it was not a good look. The other thing is I had this tailor take out the elastic on the biswing because it was completely flaccid. Instead of putting in a new one, he tightened up the loose material that gathers behind the shoulders and under the arms, and then put in a couple cross stitches to hold together. Not the most perfect job, but not bad either, but I tell you, it really cleaned up the silhouette from the back. And we all know how killer the front looks.

Anyway, it's another jacket that sits in the garage. Something I might wear once or twice just as a wtf. But since I know there's some on here that really love the Brooks, I'd let it go pretty cheap given all the changes. Maybe something like $70ish. Anything less, and I'm probably going to keep just to be a donor jacket for those beautiful talon zips if I ever need any.

If interested, PM me and I can send you some pics, measurements, etc. Figured I post here to give the "hardcore" hunters a first stab.
