FS: Jean Shop NYC Cafe Racer, XL (New)

Messages

Jean Shop NYC leather jacket, classic cafe racer style, size XL.

▶Price◀
$500


▶Info◀
Jean Shop NYC is (or used to be?) a very small New York outfit that specialized in heritage denim & leather clothes. Their stuff is very popular among celebrities and Cafe Racer is one of their most famous products jacket as it's the very same one worn by Justin Theroux.

You can find them on Facebook, though their site is currently under construction.

At $2500 a piece, this jacket was priced quite insanely high - but - if I am to compare it to any other stuff I've handled while taking the current prices on the high-end jacket market into consideration, I'd say it sounds about right. This is in no way inferior to anything out there. Feel free to take your time and count the stitches. :)

It seriously rivals any jacket I've seen in the terms of stitching, construction and hide. But that should be pretty apparent from the photos.

▶Features◀
  • Made from cordovan/brown mid-weight, pre-distressed cowhide. Leather is soft and subtle but definitely not lightweight. I'd compare it to Schott steer in weight. Around 2.5 - 3oz would be my best guess.
  • The leather has a similar feel to Aero's Oil-pull horsehide, although it's softer than that.
  • The quilted lining is very thick and extremely warm. The jacket is a true winter piece.
  • Two zippered chest pockets, one lining pocket.
  • RIRI zippers throughout.
  • Fantastic, functional, deep shoulder gussets.
  • Made in USA, of course. In the New York City, to be exact.

▶Condition◀
I bought the jacket from one of those eBay boutiques and I'm pretty sure it has NEVER been worn. As you can clearly see, not even a single crease has yet formed in the leather. Doesn't even seem like it's been zipped up once. Pristine clean inside and out, smells only of a brand new leather. Just look at the lining!
I'm just 100% confident this is a brand new jacket.

▶Measurements◀
Sized XL, this is a roomy jacket. It maybe fits even bigger than the usual XL so please make sure you're guided by the measurements below...
  • Chest width / P2P: 62 cm / 24.5"
  • Waist width: 60 cm / 23.5"
  • Shoulders width (measured at the back): 52 cm / 20.5"
  • Sleeve length (measured on the outside of the sleeve): 65 cm / 25.5"
  • Back length (without collar): 63 cm / 25"
I'm selling this jacket because it's way too big for me. I had some plans of having it tailored but I fear the outcome. It's just so well made that I'm not sure anyone could be able to match the machining to such an extent and I'll end up with something I won't be happy to wear.

▶Disclaimer◀
Payment through PayPal, friends & family (or gift or whatever it's called nowadays). Shipping to anywhere EU is $15. Elsewhere, please contact me.
I guess this should cover it. If you have ANY questions whatsoever or if you need any additional photos of the jacket, don't hesitate to write.
Thank you for looking.

Still available.

This is seriously on the level of anything, and I mean ANYTHING currently available on the market. It's much nicer made than most jackets I've handled and so impressive looking IRL. If you're looking for a straightforward, simple CR, this cannot be topped.

If celebs do anything for you at all... You can see how it fits.

Very, very nice. And a great price. If it weren’t a winter jacket i would certainly purchase.

Thank you. I wish more people knew about the brand but anyone who'd handled this jacket would tell you it can't get any better than this. It's made insanely well and it's so beautiful.
But yeah, it's a very warm jacket.

To the top. Oh, and the shipping is included in the price.

And of course, mandatory Justin Theroux pic in the Jean Shop jacket. From now on there will be one with every bump. :D

So many people sending me PM's that it's a nice jacket and nobody buying it.

TFL special offer: $400 plus shipping. Price is set in stone. Again, new jacket is $2500. I only wanna get my money back, that's it. Again, this is a highest tier jacket I've seen. If you're 44-46, do yourself a favor and get this.
