Aero Fontana Cafe Racer in Black CXL steerhide - 42

Here's another cafe racer that I picked up fairly recently and have decided to sell. This one is a Thurston Bros. design, and it has all the features that I love in a cafe racer: 2 chest pockets, no handwarmer pockets, single Western yoke on the back, and shoulder gussets. The only problem is, I already have a cafe racer with these features (from Simmons Bilt) that fits me a little better.

Here's the kicker: This is a @ton312 original - see post below. Here's his original post on the jacket when he received it new back in 2018: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-fontana-cr-black-steer-cxl-v-1-0.93391/. So, if you're on the fence, get off it!

This jacket has some slight signs of wear, a scratch in the left sleeve gusset, an impression in the right sleeve (see 4th photo), and some signs of the teacore coming through. That said, this jacket has not been worn a lot. The cotton drill lining is in excellent shape, the puny Talon zipper that Aero insists on using is impeccable, and the steerhide is still stiff but showing excellent graining. Completely odor-free and ready to be broken in.

Seeking $650 (PayPal F&F, add fees if business transaction preferred). That includes shipping in the continental US. I'll split shipping with any overseas buyer.

Measurements are as follows:
-Chest (pit-to-pit): 22.5 inches
-Shoulder (seam-to-seam straight across): 19 inches
-Sleeve (shoulder seam-to-cuff straight down): 26.5 inches
-Back (collar seam-to-hem): 25 inches
-Hem (along bottom): 19.5 inches

this one looked great. Saw it early. Anyway, last thing on my to do list is a black racer, but it was that good, that it still tempted me. When Aero gets them right, I don't think there's anyone out there making as nice of a racer.
