1950s Horsehide Cycle Champ Harley Davidson Jacket, size 40

[Kubatu]

Hi all,

Just listed this one on Ebay, would obviously prefer to sell it here to avoid their fees. Excellent condition 1950s era Cycle Champ jacket. No cracking or damage to leather. Great grain.

Only flaws to note:
1) Chest and sleeve zippers work smoothly. All other zippers are a bit sticky.
2) Top left chest zipper is missing pull
3) Small stitch blemish on the action back

Any questions, please ask.

Still trying to figure out an ideal price, since there's not a huge selling history for these. But for now, let's say $970 shipped, Paypal F&F.

Measurements:

Pit to pit: 21.5
Shoulder to shoulder: 17
Top of collar to hem: 24.75
Top of shoulder to sleeve cuff: 24.75

What a beauty. Btw. what's the back length without collar as you say "Top of collar to hem: 24.75"?
GLWS!

50s HH HD in this condition for under $1,000. Sweet. IMO, on Mount Everest of vintage MC jackets.

A straight 23".

I live in NC. Definitely no musty odors, but it does have an unusual vintage smell I'm not really able to identify. The only time I've detected this smell in the smell was on a similar era police jacket from Buco. Kind of rubbery? Hard to describe a smell, really, but not "bad" smell IMO.

Unfortunately, not looking for trades at the moment, but I'll consider certain offers.
