Listed as no brand but I reckon it's a Schott 141. Photos are terrible but looks like it could have some nice colouration/ patina going on.

Vintage Beck Arnley size 40 Medium Black Leather Motorcycle Jacket https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/362608214902

My understanding (correct me if I’m wrong) is Beck-Arnley is not related to Beck and they’re not quality jackets.

I had a Beck-Arnley. Very nice jacket. I have read that Beck morphed into Beck-Arnley after a merger and new focus on auto parts sometime in the 70s. I have read there is no connection. In any case, mine was quality. They are up your alley as someone who truly enjoys vintage cafe jackets. I think @technovox owned one, as some others. Hopefully they jump in. As does one of our jacket historians.

This is the only picture I have on my phone. Not the greatest pic but the jacket was nice.

Wow, what a steal. If only it was 42.

I know I’m after almost this exact same jacket but it’s not quite what I want [emoji30]

$200 for Beck, $500 for what appears to be a one off RMC!? What is going on? This thread is pure evil.

This thread is going to rob more people of their money than Jordan Belfort!

And I thought there was something fishy about the Grailed description. It mentions how the jacket was taken to Cromfords and then abrutly ends, without explaining what exactly has been done to it. Now we know.

Be careful with this one. It was listed on eBay twice I believe from a seller in the UK and this one seems from the US. Exact pictures and description. The sleeves were altered and pockets added. Nice price but something seems fishy to me.

These aren’t RMC or LW or Thedi, but still nice jackets at great prices.

A nice Brooks gold label CR, size 44 in an uncommon color for under $80:

That is the most mint Taubers I've ever seen. That is a very good deal for that jacket. As good a chunk of HH as you are likely to ever find.
EDIT: the tag claims genuine leather not HH...I suppose it could be steer. Either way an exceptional find.

Probably is steer. I've got several police jackets that are steerhide. Here is a Taubers police jacket from the 50s with a HH tag. It was sold here.
