FS: Schott Cafe Racer Leather Jacket, sz. 44

Messages

Schott leather cafe racer, size 44.

PRICE
€340 + shipping. IBAN or PayPal (F/F or G/S + upcharge).

INFO
That Schott made the meanest, slickest cafe racer jacket during the 1960s is hardly surprising but that they altogether dropped it in favor of that mid 141 is something I will never understand. It was probably so to focus all their attention toward making stuff up about having made The Wild One jacket. Well, there is the 641XX but even that one is kind of off.

Anyhow, as far as the cafe racers go & as I have said, this is the definite, ultimate form physically & visually achievable with this design. Nothing to do to improve on this. Done.

And that's all I'm going to say about it. These jackets had set the benchmark. That is all one needs to know.

⚜ INFO ⚜
T
he jacket is in an uncommonly good condition which is to say, apart from creases, it is flawless.

SIZE & DIMENSIONS
Size 44. However, it is a lot closer to a current size 42. The measurements are...
  • Chest width (P2P): 57 cm / 22.5"
  • Waist width (max.): cca. 54 cm / 21"
  • Shoulders width (back): 47 cm / 18.5"
  • Sleeve length (outside curve): cca. 67 cm / 26"
  • Back length (without collar): 67 cm / 26"
MISC
That's that. Should you have any questions whatsoever, please don't hesitate to ask. The jacket will be shipped from the European Union. Thank you.

Okay, not sold thus still available.

The jacket was supposed to go to Canary Islands but apparently, even though they're technically Spain and as EU as such, I can't ship anything there. The jacket made two round trips from me to... Whatever company/country is responsible for shipping stuff in-between Spain and Canaries and that country requires an import declaration of some sort which my post office can't seem to get right.

I can't deal with this again so once the jacket got back again, I canceled the sale and, well, here it is.

I have just cleaned the jacket thoroughly yet again and it looks better than ever. Here it is, photographed just now and... That's it. If you missed it the first time around, here's your chance to own what is in my opinion (therefore, a fact) the best cafe racer ever made.









By the way, I bet you didn't know what moderate climate Canary Islands has! More leather jacket days than where I am.
