Was an eBay find last night, only just listed. Hit the BIN before I could talk myself out of it! These colourful Bates jackets just don't appear often enough to sleep on them.
High hopes for this one.
What size is yours? This one's a 42 so should be a decent fit.
Size 44LL (Long body /Long sleeve). I agree, These Bates are about the coolest CR's on the planet.

Ordered a jacket this weekend from an American shop. It’ll be a perfect 3-season jacket for non-daily wear and now I know enough about fit to order custom. I haven’t seen any mention of this leather in the annals of the leather jacket internet so I’ll make a thread when it comes.
Down the line I’m thinking of a brown car coat for next winter but that’ll take a lot of planning. I don’t see any car coat patterns from the makers that really do it for me. This one from Flat Head comes close so I might modify the hell out of an existing aero pattern and order in Tobacco Badalassi. I had asked the Whitefeather guy about his car coat but he doesn’t have hides right now.
Edit: I also like RRL’s car coats with the chest pocket. But I also want the buttons along back to give it a vintage/Art Deco vibe.

That friend is from San Francisco Ca. The eldest of my Ralphs-Pugh family at 83. One of the most interesting leather jackets I have owned. Steerhide.

The Californian would have looked great hanging in your closet it would not have hung so well on you.
The Phillips 66 is quite a beast. I will have to measure it. Got be a 46/48

What a fine friend it is! That's a great one indeed! Hands down the best police jacket I've ever seen, old SF cops sure do know how to style it up! I hope something my size turns up, if not I will probably look into replicating that jacket with JL.

The finish/leather is what makes this jacket so unique. I'm not even sure what color it is. It does not have a Ralphs-Pugh label instead a Fashion Clothes San Francisco. Probably 1938. I identified it because it is the same pattern as the brown jacket next to it with is a early 50s RP. You are correct, it is a very stylish comfortable cut, unique to RP.
