For sale: Aero J106 black FQHH Size 42

[Kater Karlo]

Up for sale is a nice J106 motorcycle jacket made of black FQHH in a size 42. The jacket is broken in and the leather has softened up nicely and developed beautiful grain. It comes with the original belt (not pictured, as I didn´t wore it). For reference: I (see Pictures) am 6ft4", 210 lbs and the jacket fits but is borderline tight on me; perfect with just a Shirt, but a hair too tight with a Sweater under it.

Askingprice is 420 BP / 500 Eus / 560 USD plus shipping from Germany.

Measurements are:

shoulderwidth: 20,5" / 53cm
pit to pit: 23,52 / 60cm
arms: 26,5" / 67cm
length from collarseam: 26" / 66cm
opening at the bottom: 20,5" / 53cm

Wow, these sleeves!

Fantastic jacket. Though, what's the snap under the belt loop snap?

 

[ton312]

This is a spectacular deal! Man the classifieds are blowing up lately.

 

[Kater Karlo]

The female part of the snap is attached on the backside of the belt. It stops the belt from slipping out when not closed.

Figured as much. Thanks. Kater, that's some mean stuff you're selling so out of mere curiosity, what else do you have or plan on keeping?

Is that loop for hanging the jacket (at the back of the neck) original, or a later addition?
Lovely jacket by the way.

@Monitor: I have a black Lost Worlds Suburban, a Bill Kelso M422a in dark seal Liberty HH, a brown FQHH Highwayman and a vintage Miklos Sas NYPD jacket that will stay. That´s whats left of about 100 jackets (mostly vintage) i bought and sold over the last 20 years. At 6ft4", collecting vintage leatherjackets can become frustrating, so the last couple of years I was merely concentrating on repros. Right now, I´m collecting funds for a black zipsleeve Roadster in black Horween HH ... my last jacket
@DAN T: Yes, it´s original, but it was a custom request.

Nice collection! Add your to the collections thread if you can find it! Welcome to FL by the way. I like what you say "this will be my last jacket..." I've said that more than a few times too!

I have a J106 Aero from another person on this board, it's not even close to broken in yet. I'll be working on this process this fall. How long have you owned yours? It looks wonderful, sort of too bad you are selling as the fit looks perfect.

 

[Kater Karlo]

I have it for about 2 years. It was quite pliable from the start and is really comfortable to wear now. Unfortunatly it's a bit too tight (without the biswing I wouldn't be able to raise my arms) and an too inch short for me.
