FS: Bates size 40 brown cafe jacket

[jorlans1]

Really cool dark brown vintage jacket. Size 40. Really good shape. Gorgeous brown shiny leather. No damage. Just a little tight on me. Almost but not quite mine. Asking $150 plus shipping.

@Peacoat @Edward - could we move to the classifieds?

Very cool Bates BTW and you wear it very well there...!

It is a really cool jacket. A little tight and a little long. I would keep it, but I already have a board racer that fits the almost too tight jacket category…I think I aspire to be slimmer and taller.

Got a couple questions about length so posting another photo. Also got questions from a few people about how old the jacket is? I have no idea. It is in beautiful condition, but I don’t know if it is 5 years old or 40? Is there anyone that can clarify how I could date the jacket?

 

[jorlans1]

Bump.

 

[jorlans1]

Sold! Thank you!

Wonderful seller! It fits me well. A bit longer than a traditional jacket, but from what I gathered, the longer design seems intentional. I haven't heard about Bates jacket but it's a solidly built jacket that will last forever. I found a lot of good information here:

The Bates Corner

Thought I would start a new Bates-thread for those who have, or want to own a Bates jacket. My Background - The Bates padded Cafe Racer I recently picked up is the first Bates I have handled. It is also one of the first "50's" vintage jackets I have tired that actually fits me, so it seems to...
