    Natal Cafe Racer - Can anyone tell me more about this jacket?

    Yes, I have both as well. I have a 42 Natal and a 44 Kerr cross zip Brando style that are identical also. But I have a Cafe Kerr that while it's as thick, heavy and soft as the others, but it seems to have some kind of finish on it, not the naked leather of the other two. It crossed my mind the...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    FYI Talked to a guy that was a dealer for Kerr in the UK. He told me Kerr had two product lines, an American made (which I believe were rebranded Natal) and a cheaper Asian built. I'll also add that while my Brando style Kerr is made of the same great leather as my Natals, I picked up a CR...

    Any Love For Those Cheap Old Fidelity Leathers?

    I've got a Fidelity perfecto copy. Too small for me. If you're interested let me know. Very broken in, but all the zippers were working, and no holes in the leather. Think it's a 42. I'm moving and trying to downsize. Got it for next to nothing, I'd let it go for $20 + shipping.

    Your all time fav Leather Jacket (1-2) you own or have owned

    I think I have one of these. The zip out liner is gone so no tags. Are there two side zips at the waist? I wear mine quite a lot.

    Just updating the latest info I've found regarding this whole Natal/Natel/Kerr thing. I ran across someone on eBay that used to be a Kerr dealer in the UK.

    Natal Cafe Racer - Can anyone tell me more about this jacket?

    Hello, haven't posted in a while, but I'm the guy from the area, still trying to solve the mystery behind Natal Leathers and the Natal/Natel - Kerr connection. Since I last posted I ran across a old Kerr dealer from the UK who's sitting on a cache of NOS (New Old Stock) Kerr leathers! He's...
