Harley Horsehide “Sportster One Pocket” Café Racer 40/42

I’ve just got too many of these hanging in my closet and it’s time to let someone else enjoy them. Offering up a vintage black Harley Davidson horsehide “Sportster One Pocket” café racer. Features the earlier trademark Conmar diamond pull on the chest pocket (the later versions of this jacket had ring pulls and were inferior IMHO.) When I found this jacket, the main zip was trashed. So I had my tailor replace it with a NOS C & C vintage zipper, and patch up the holes at the bottom where someone had monkeyed in a tie pull. (See pic.) Retains the original Harley Davidson Workmanship label. And features the original Scoville bell zippers on the sleeves. All zips work (but the left side sleeve zip is missing a tooth.) Lining is in good condition, and my tailor installed an interior leather pocket. Very functional. Leather is in beautiful vintage condition- supple and lots of grain and character. No size label. It fits a tad tight on me, and I usually wear a size 42. Fits more like a size 40, 41, maybe 42 if you like your jackets tight.

Here are the approx. measurements:

Shoulder to shoulder: 18.5”

Armpit to armpit: 21.5”

Shoulder seam to end of sleeve:25”

Base of neck to bottom: 25”


Price to sell at $150 Pick it up in person, or CONUS shipping is $25.

Great price for a timeless classic. I have seen these go for $200 - 400. GLWS.

Yes indeed, a cool jacket for a cool price! I think I’m exactly your size, and don’t Like my jackets right, or else I would get it.

I do- I have a couple crosszip motorcycle jackets with a lapel collars if you're interested. A Cal Leather in an approximate size 42/44 and a horsehide Buco J27 "Style King."
Cheers.

Thanks for getting back. I’m really set on straight zip single rider type jacket. Figured it was worth a shot

I think you should throw the Highway-Sheene out for bids. You must be getting tired of that one??
