Gold Label Brooks Cafe Racer are well known for great value on the used/vintage market. They successfully emulate the historic Buco J-100 cafe racer at a fraction of the cost.
This is marked as a size 42 and fits as such. I am wearing it at 5'9" 175. The leather is a nice mid weight cowhide. It has a shine and grain to match. All Talon zippers are working as required. The only issues is a loose seam on the right arm hole lining. It is pictured. There is also creasing making the collar fold a bit. It is described in the video. I can easily live with it, I know others may not.
I've owned/sold several Brooks products. I just don't need this one. Search ebay and you will find them in my price range. My price reflects what it would take to buy a replacement in this condition.
Picture album here.
Price: $199 plus $15 shipping in Conus.
Thanks, T
