Good Wear California Racer-Custom-Shinki Horsehide 42/40

[tmitchell59]

Good Wear is currently listing a Himel/GW version of this jacket for $1500 in stock.

This California Racers is distinctive as it was made by John Chapman in Shinki Horsehide. The NOS Crown Zipper was at least $150 upcharge, the lining probably $200 upcharge, inside pocket charge? Far from the standard California Racer.

Marked as a size 42, but I would estimate it to be more of a size 40. Cafe racers are slim, tapered jackets, this is no exception.

Chest: 21
Shoulders: 18
Length: 24
Sleeve: 25
Waist: 20

It is Shinki Tea Core Horsehide, with brown under the Black. There is one are on the sleeve seam that has wear through (pictured). This is normal and to be expected with this jacket. This is how it was made.

Always nice to have something a bit special. This is it.

Price: $SOLD
Easy payment plan available:
Half now, half in 30 days. I've done it on several other sales. Worked fine.

Here is a link to picture album. Due to size restrictions no Fit Video on this one.

I don't know... I mean, what do you do with the rest of your life if you buy this? Certainly wouldn't be looking for another jacket, that's for sure. . .

That was my plan if it is possible that the jacket find it‘s way to Germany.

Valid point. That's why I decided not to marry a supermodel.

I responded in a message.

I had not, until now, looked into International shipping. I have done it several times through ebay without any issues. With ebay I just ship to a location in the US, nothing else.

I found the US Postal service has Flat Rate boxes for International use. Medium and Large.

Domestic flat rate boxes are all I use to ship and typically what others use.

Not sure what people are willing to pay for shipping. International Flat Rates are easy to find. There are several sizes. Jackets would need a medium or large. It is expensive, but easy to quote.

I'll most probably be providing international shipping. Some Jackets are worth it.

I decided not to marry a supermodel because none would have anything to do with me. Jackets don't have high standards. Or any standards at all. . .

I am going to start fasting. Hopefully it is still for sale in three-four months.

Super nice jacket. Congratulations to the new owner. That's a jacket I aspire to wear one day.

We can only hope. If it appears on German eBay it's gonna be even worse for me 'cause no import taxes anymore. . .
