SIMPLY GORGEOUS.
The Easy Ryder jacket by Lost Worlds is modelled on a 1930s - 1940s motorcycle jacket, with a rear protective lower panel at the back and a tucked rear waist. It has a bi-swing back for ease of movement.
This Easy Ryder features a slanted zippered chest pocket *rarer and far cooler than the usual horizontal pocket of most Ryders) two deep slash zippered side pockets, and (of course!) zippered sleeves. It also has two fully functional lower waist adjusters.
Since this is a genuine motorcycle jacket (i.e., one heavy enough for you to ride in and be protected) the sleeves zip to a close fit when done up, to avoid billowing or drafts at speed.
It is fully lined in pure black nylon flight satin, and the pockets are lined in cotton duck.
It is made from heavy black chrome-tanned 3.5oz horsehide that will soak up anything you can throw at it for decades, only getting better with wear.
All of the zippers are NOS Talon bell-shape zippers, made in the USA. They move nice and smoothly.
The jacket features a windflap under the main zipper, and a cafe racer-style collar with a functional throat latch. It also has a deep interior pocket.
As with all Lost Worlds jackets, this was made in Stu's New York City workshop.
This jacket has developed some ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS graining--see the pictures with the American flag for details! (CREDIT: eyeswildshot.) It has a touch of verdigris on the throat studs--leave it as patina, or spend a couple of minuts cleaning it off with a dry Q-tip!
Overall, this is is EXCELLENT condition! A new Lost Worlds Easy Ryder is $1,750... plus shipping.
I'm asking just $700, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA--which is what I paid for it!
I'd also be interested in trades for Lost Worlds jackets in black, sizes 42 or 44, depending on model.
