Yeah i did read on here somewhere that some came with ring pulls, although the sleeve zips with the rounded ends i haven't seen on brooks. Haven't heard back from the seller in 4 days so it may not even turn up
I'm after a black brooks café racer so I took a gamble on this cheap unlabelled jacket. Looking at it now the sleeve zip pullers don't seem right for what I've seen from Brooks. Any ideas on what it could be?
For the UK gang, Fidelity café racer 44. Appears to be nicely beaten up. You don't see too many of these over here.

I've seen old Schott 141 jackets like this but also Brooks and Lescos. Gold lining colour matches an old Schott 141 I have and the side buckles seem Schotty.

I had this Aero highwayman on the way that has now officially been declared lost by the courier. Poor one out for a homie.
Also took a chance on a £40 black Schott 141 vinted that 100% looked like a scam, turned out to be real and wasn't lost by the courier. Would have preferred the Aero though .
I have an early 70's Schott 141 tagged 46 chest, a little over 24" pit to pit and it fits close like a fashion jacket. I think it's due to having the arm holes cut higher so the pit to pit measurement matches more closely to where you measure your chest. Had a modern 141 tagged at 44 with lower...
There must have been a job lot of these sitting in that warehouse from the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark since every one I see appears to be in pristine condition.
Combination of short body length and baggy sleeves and a slightly too big fit overall looks good (on the flawless professional model 10 years younger than me).
I would 100% look like heroin addict in it but the heart wants what the heart wants.
Aerofan, thank you for those suggestions I'll add...
Thanks for the actual replies I appreciate it. I was just wondering if that general design had a name. to make ebay searches easier. Looks like whatever it is it's not going to break the bank which is great.
Some may be amused that it's not vintage or expensive but I just like that look and fit.
I've seen this brand around here in the classifieds and just picked one up recently. Just wondering how old it is as the examples I see of this style are all described as 60's/70's but this one seems suspiciously unworn, not that anyone would bother faking a Lesco. Any lesco historians here?
