I have a couple of jackets for sale.
The first one is a Lewis Leathers "Star Lightning" made of horsehidein a generous size 40 (more like a slim 42) I bought a couple of weeks ago from the original owner on Ebay. The jacket is 4 month old now and has been worn a couple of times only. It has a stamp on the lable which says "Sample"; I don´t know what this is for. The original owner said it was custom made for him. It has the signature insulated red sailcloth lining, red satinlining for the sleeves and two zippered innerpockets. The sleeves start to break in nicely and show some nice grain and creases. The HH is very shiny at first and quite stiff and will show the greyish basecolour of the leather at high wear areas with time. Unfortunatly the jacket is a hair too tight for me.

For reference: I (see photos) am 6ft4", 210 lbs with a 42 Inch chest.

Measurements are:

Shoulderwidth: 19,5"
Pit to pit: 22,5"
Sleevelength: 27"
Backlength from base of collar: 25,5"
Frontlength from base of collar: 27"
Opening at the bottom: 20"


Price when new was 860BP, askingprice is 650EU, 780USD, 570BP plus shipping & Paypalfees.

Next is a Simmons Bilt A2 made of nice midweight brown vegtanned Goatskin in a size 46 with mustard cottonlining and Universalzipper. The jacket is hardly worn but already shows the reddish groundcolour of the leather on highwear areas. I can easily wear a Jumper under the jacket. There is one eyelet for the collarhook missing, apart from that in perfect state.

The last one is a vintage cowhide Excelled motorcycle jacket in a rare size 42 extratall (fits more like a 44-46). The jacket is in nice and clean, with an intact lining and quite heavy, wrinkly leather. The jacket fits me generously and I can easily wear a thick Jumper under it.
