Find me a jacket...

You may have gathered by now that I dredge along the very bottom of the marketplace, spending next-to-no money on all sorts of good-enoughs.

My recent TT Leathers resto jacket cost £19. That's nineteen pounds.

And now I'm after a quality CR. Hide isn't crucial, but needs to be interesting. Age isn't important, but I'll unlikely afford new.

Because oh, by the way: budget is as far under £100 as you can find.

So it's a quest. Find me a cool CR, on the cheap, anywhere in the world. And I'll buy it, and I'll smarten it up and show you all.

e: oh good grief. I wear a 38

I'm no expert in leather jackets, but something tells me your budget won't allocate a high quality jacket, new or vintage. I would save up to get a very nice jacket that'll keep you satisfied for a long time.

Fidelity made a great jacket. If someone can help you out, Barnabus, or if anyone else is after a CR in this size, it is a really great deal. As good of a jacket as anything and fits better than most.

That would be worth messaging the seller and asking them to ship with costs to you plus insurance etc....seriously, I doubt a deal like this will come along anytime soon...

I made a low ball offer just to keep the lines open. Seller responded (declined) immediately which was good. Low ball...ha how do you low ball $50. Ha

How far from London are you? The Electric Ballroom in Camden used to have several great stalls with sub £50 British bike jackets (TT, Wolf, and so on) on weekends. Still a few good stalls at Portobello Road, round the Westway Centre (Latimer Grove end) on a Saturday. If you're near town, worth a hunt. There is also Beyond Retro on Cheshire St (off Brick Lane). I saw a nice Schott cafe racer in there for sub 100 recently.
