Lost Worlds CHP black horse hide motorcycle jacket. Excellent condition! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/323944155451

$400 LW CHP size 38.

I have looked at this jacket a hundred times. The leather is real thick, you can tell from the pictures, that's the real deal old 4 plus oz horsehide, not the lighter stuff you see on most LW jackets these days. Unfortunately this jacket is stupidly short. 23" backlength and it has like a 2" backdip. This is essentially a 21" length jacket.

Damn wish I knew about this sooner, nothing I wanted left in my size! But that was an actual sale. Not when you hear huge blowout sale and it’s 20% off of something overpriced to begin with.

The horsehide Award jacket in Navy/Ecru is now available in all sizes.

Agreed about the leather but I gotta admit that from the photos, I kind of prefer the lighter hide to the heavyweight stuff. There always seems to be a lot more grain and texture to the 3-ish oz stuff than what this kind of heavyweight leather usually displays. Not that I'd mind having a jacket in the 4+ oz HH though. :)
