Brooks classic Cafe Racer jacket (44)

[lina]

I don’t know enough to be able to date this jacket, but seems on the later end of the classic Brooks era. Notice that it has the older label on the permanent lining but the newer label on the zip out lining.

To me it’s in fantastic shape, with the only real flaw being the missing right chest pocket zipper pull. (Zipper still works.) Otherwise the leather is nearly unmarked and the lining is perfect. Notice how unfaded the size tag is, which is unusual.

Size 44 vintage, meaning closer to 42. I am 6’ about 185 and it fits me exactly as a CR should. Two pics here of me wearing it, and I’ll post several more in the next frame.

Pit to pit = 23”
Back shoulder = 18.75”
Sleeves = 25.75” (straight down)
Back length = 26”

Pricing it low because of the missing zipper pull. $160 to me, plus $10 shipping US.

Cool jacket! Lucky you who live in the US. No such nice jackets at low price in Europe

I'll say $140 (+$10 shipping US) for TFL, before putting it up on the ebay soon..

Is it black or dark brown?

Is it black or dark brown?

Dark brown. Definitely hard to get the color right in pics but it looks brown in person.
