    Help identifying a vintage cafe racer jacket

    Quite possible! I’ll have to dig a little deeper into them and see some of the styles they offered.

    Here are some additional pictures. The main zipper is talon and the sleeve zippers are 6” long serval Edit Note by Peacoat: I have moved the text to the top of the post. It just flows better that way.

    Help identifying a vintage cafe racer jacket

    Hello, I recently purchased a vintage cafe racer leather jacket that has no label and I can’t for the life of me figure out what brand it is or how old it is. It was suggested by Bahabp100 to give the experts here a shot at trying to identify it. Thanks in advance for any help! EDIT NOTE by...
