Brown British Cycle Leathers Cafe Racer

[Hawkeye]

Hallejuah! The closet has been bereft of leather for too long, but no longer. I picked up a beautiful 60s brown British Cycle Leathers cafe racer. I had a black one last year but it ended up being too large. This ones made of thicker and heavier leather than I've usually seen with these jackets, I think it may be horse. Beautiful grain throughout the jacket. Lining is in perfect shape. Lightning zippers throughout, except for a replacement YKK on the dual main slider, and they all run like butter. No size tag but it seems to be a 42/44. I love the look of these British Cycle Leathers/Brimaco jackets, and they're longer in the body than most other brands, making them more suitable for the taller guy. Made in Canada too.

Congratulation Hawkeye. Beautiful brown cafe racer jacket indeed. Reminds me of Ties' brown and grainy cafe racer jacket. Now let's see you in them

Here's Ties in his ( i hope you don't mind Ties):

Nice one for sure. What bike will you be on?

 

[Hawkeye]

no bike for me right now, though I'd love to get an old Norton or Triumph in the future

Well you'll be set for a jacket! I want!
BTW, at risk of stirring the pot, the old Brit bikes are a maintenance and rebuild nightmare But cool they are!

That's beautiful. It won't be horse. They didn't make them in horse. My favourite leather jacket pattern, that one.
