Y'2 PR-64 Cafe Racer in Vintage Light Horsehide - Size 44 (Fits like a 42/40 Short)

[Bender]

Here's a Y'2 PR-64 in a beautiful lightweight horsehide Y'2 calls "Vintage Light Horse"... basically a horsehide jacket you can wear in warmer climates. Lovely tea-core black with notes of brown, brown stitching, and brown cotton lining.

This jacket is what I like to a call a "perfectly practical" cafe racer... wears trim to the body like a J-100, but features chest zips, handwarmers, and an inside pocket, so you're covered for your EDC... wallet, phone, keys, and another couple of small items. I've been really impressed with the construction of this particular jacket, as well as the leather, which is lightweight but still has a nice dense feeling and wonderful uniform graining. I wouldn't hesitate to put this particular jacket up among my Real McCoy's jackets in terms of build quality and leather.

This jacket was bought from a member on this site in February of 2024, but it hasn't seen a ton of wear from me... I am way too tall for it, but initially, I was thinking like a Joey Ramone vibe fit, wrists poking out like a gangly scarecrow... that was a phase, lol.

The jacket is a Japanese-market cut with higher armholes, and a slim cut. Tagged as a 44, but this fits like a larger 40 or shorter 42. I'd estimate this would fit somebody with an average build and a height of around 5'5 to 5'8 very well. Taller if you have shorter arms. Or hey... if you're taller, try the Joey Ramone thing. I still think it looks cool, even if the girl says "You look like you wanna be in The Strokes".

Jacket is in great shape, still not fully broken in yet.

Measurements:

P2P: A bit over 21 inches
Shoulder: 18 inches
Hem: 20 Inches
Sleeve: Around 24 inches

Asking $550, shipped ConUS, Paypal Friends & Family. Thanks!

Nice looking jacket at a good price! If I liked mandarin collars more I would be sweating right now

Dunno if I mentioned this, but the jacket was actually owned by Abraham Lincoln who wore it while giving the Gettysburg Address.

 

[Bender]

Okay, that isn't true. This jacket was never worn by Lincoln while he gave the Gettysburg Address.

He did own it, but he was wearing like a top hat and a frock coat suit when he gave the address. It's possible he put this jacket on afterwards, just to chill out, but I have no confirmation of that.

I apologize to the community for my inexcusable attempt to mislead you all. I just wanted you guys to think I was cool.

What's the back length? I wish the sleeves were an inch longer.

had one of these briefly, sadly it was a bit too small and I had to flip it. Incredible jacket, especially for the money.

Wow so tempting, think it would fit me almost perfectly.

Wow so tempting, think it would fit me almost perfectly.

Wow, a perfect fit, AND a treasure worth potentially billions?

Oh, did I not mention the legend that the jacket has a treasure map inside the lining that leads to the treasure of the Masons or the Knights Templar or whatever the plot was to that Nick Cage National Treasure movie?

What's the back length? I wish the sleeves were an inch longer.

I believe it's right around 25", but will check!

Sending a PM now.

I’ll do a separate post for it, but for anyone following this, it’s back on the market. Absolutely stunning jacket, but alas, I also struggled with sleeve length in riding position. Great for casual wear, but I don’t recommend for use on a motorcycle. Message me if you’re interested. Same price I paid: $550.

Cheers,
Ty
