Thanks for your reply Seb.
Your post helped me decide to hold off, there was more than a little frustration that I couldn't get a jacket with the right measurements. I'll keep on trucking.

Hi All I just ordered a Brooks Cafe racer, this will be my 3rd. I love them, they fit me great.
I think this is an example of the perfect cafe racer. IMO checks off all the boxes.

I agree. Has it all at a price you can afford.
Would you mind post a picture of the back of the jacket? I have one in brown but need to confirm back design.Thank you so much!I bought this one a month ago
Would you mind telling us how much did you pay for this jacket in this condition? Thank you!Hi All I just ordered a Brooks Cafe racer, this will be my 3rd. I love them, they fit me great.
I paid $50, the liner is not in great condition
Hello this is what the back looks like, I couldn't take a pic of the jacket I just go out of surgery and am limited in what I can do right now

I just got this.
My son lives in London and bought it a month ago from fl-member robninay via Ebay.uk and send the jacket to me here in Finland. This really feels like new. Maybe new old stock or something. It is very light compared to my Schott 530 but the leather feels quite thick. Not as thick and juicy as schotts leather though. All the elements cafe racer jacket should have. I wonder what year is this jacket from. It doesn't have a removable fur lining or even a zipper for that.
