Size 38. BIN $280.00

I know it's not quite the "classic cool" jacket but I think it's dope. Waay too small for me, but if you're a leaner guy and into the rock star thing.
It'd go great with some mirror aviators and big hair, maybe a mohawk.
I'm a sucker for a flamboyant jacket

Might go for it myself if I can negotiate the price down, trying to get more measurement info. Most likely still too big for me.

Did you get the j24? I am curios about the jacket maker.

Here’s a very nice jacket. Seller is responsive, I had passed due to sizing and some damage but it’s cool

Here's a Fidelity you don't see every day...

vintage CAMEL TAN BROWN LEATHER 70s CAFE RACER MOTORCYCLE BIKER JACKET usa 38 M | eBay

My friend that owned this jacket had all the chest zippers added, professionally. They were done with brown leather trim, and the original waist pocket trim was replaced with brown to match the chest zippers.

Did not get it. The maker has been mentioned on TFL once or twice.

This is pretty interesting. An old cop jacket, horse, metal chain looks like Fidelity, but could be something else. Is it possible that Fidelity made some cop jackets as special order? All Talon zippers, fake pocket flaps are a little weird, but overall a cool jacket.

@Will Zach

My bet would be on Passaic as the maker. Passaic, being in your old home state, makes mainly NY/NJ cop jackets whereas I have only seen Boston PD jackets from Fidelity being they are from that area. Both do use that double separating zipper style and both have used the chain hanger tho Fidelity is more widely known for it due to the sheer volume of jackets we see from them. Both of them tho tend to have their chains riveted while this one you posted seems to be stitched in. But to me, Passaic is a distinct possibility.

Yep, Passaic it is. I have Passaic in my searches. I saw an early cross zip from them and it was awesome. But only saw it once, must be pretty rare. The cafe racer with heavily slanted pockets is cool too.

 

[JMax]

Passaic is a good guess. Lots of makers made these spec’d and issued NYPDs— Miklos Sas and Skagerrac come to mind. All three made awesome jackets. There were more. Lots of NY cops.

I was going to post this CSC but that pigskin was just too creepy AF. Someone didn't mind because it's gone.

What is this thing? Tag reads "Aero Leder Kleidung." I was eyeing it because it's so small, but there's not much information and I don't think I'd want to get into dealing with the repairs.

This was at $307 with 20 minutes to go. Must have been fun to watch the last few minutes!!

I was the high bidder at $1250 for about 30 seconds with about a minute left but that was my limit. I really wanted it but $1600 was too high for me on this one.

Yeah pig leather looks disgusting.
