One Man's Search For A Cafe Racer
Forest FTT, love your horsehide jacket. Great fit. They sound like class acts at Johnson's. Quiet, unsung, stealthy and deadly efficient in practicing their craft. A bit hyperbolic but you get it. I think I'll call them as well as tomorrow. This jacket is for the street and street only so...- dadonn

One Man's Search For A Cafe Racer
I saw your Ventura and it's not a racer but a stellar looking jacket. It just appears too short for my taste at 24.5 down the back. Years and many attempts is something I am slowly becoming familiar with. I would consider going to Lost Worlds when I get back to NYC but I just read that they...- dadonn

One Man's Search For A Cafe Racer
Hey Vespizzare, I live in NYC but came to LA in mid-January on business and to write a book I've been contracted to write. I'm still here for probably another month. You know what I've been doing instead of writing. Searching for a f**king racer jacket. What do you all think of Diamond Dave's...- dadonn

Hey Butte, Your avatar looks familiar. I've certainly benefited from your postings and I appreciate you sharing what you know so readily. I do know that a 52" chest generally equates to a 48; what I didn't understand was why the seller stated it would fit a 44-46 on both ebay and Styleforum...- dadonn

Johnson's website isn't much to see- there's one Cafe Racer that's clean, N-200-AF, great price but there's one pic that's about 2" x 2".- dadonn

Vespizzare- I will check out Johnson right now. Since I'm in SM, maybe I would even consider making a pilgrimage to SF for a proper fitting. Cheers, Dave- dadonn

I checked out Insurrection/Thurston-Bros at some point. Not sure why they are shifting to Thurston-Bros. but I found it ironic that what appears to be the most knowledgable group of vintage leather/repro people around are in rainy Seattle. I like the Aero horsehide numbers. Especially liked...- dadonn

Thanks for chiming in so quickly. I will check out Johnson and Langlitz for sure. Do you know the approximate price points for the Langlitz? I appreciate your input Bunyip, Major and Fanch. Dave- dadonn

One Man's Search For A Cafe Racer
This has become the central preoccupation in my life. About ten years ago, I recommended my buddy pick up one of these. The largest size was too small on me. We lost touch and he called me about six months ago and mentioned that he still loves the jacket. I live in Manhattan, NYC and made...- dadonn
