FS: Field Leathers modified "Route 66" Café Racer (sz 44)

[Tom71]

You want to skip Greg´s queue?

This jacket is perfect, perfect, perfect - for a guy slightly shorter than myself.

I am posting this with a heavy heart. It´s just that critical one inch too short for me (despite what all you guys have assured me of; I just don´t wear it any more). The quest for the perfect CR continues; I was almost there.

- Black Shinki with a substantial hand
- Blue lining, blue stitching
- No. 8 main zipper (if you know, you know)
- two vertical inside pockets with stud-closing

Measurements (pls. see pictures):
- P2P: 23,5"
- Shoulder: 19"
- Sleeves: 26,4" (24" straight down)
- Lenghts: 25,2"
- Hem: 21,3"

Asking EUR 900 plus shipping.

so nice. I remember we got ours back to back. I made the same mistake for my preference. I should have included another 1 inch on the front drop. I think cafe racers look better longer. It's not game changer, but I do find myself tugging down through out the day when I wear. But I do usually wear low rise, so who knows. GLWS. This is a great jacket to pick up at this price.

Ughhh, so tempting. The P2P seems a little big for me but it's otherwise close to perfect. Re-measuring my other jackets.

I know! Can’t believe I am passing this on. I was debating this with myself for more than a year now. The hide is so nice. Perfect balance between a substantial heft and everyday wearability.

Angry at myself for specifying the wrong length. Absolutely zero fault of Greg’s!

Kaff Racers are tough to crack. They do look so simple, but it’s actually pretty hard to get everything just right.

Stunning jacket and very fair price. I love the details you specified in it.
GLWTS.

I think this would look great on someone 5’9”-5’10” with so many amazing jackets I don’t blame you.

After all these positive and interesting DM´s, I thought I should mention this:

Still available...

Brillant jacket! GLWS! I don’t think it’s too short but if you don’t feel comfy wearing it, it’s better to let it go

 

[Bigbawz]

What's that in Australian dollars I wonder.....
No harm in dreaming...

 

[Tom71]

Still for sale, and a good chance to beat Greg´s queue.

Will lower the price soon, but will give right of first refusal to those who already made offers. Just saying, in case you´re on the fence...

TFL-friends from abroad are always entitled to a favourite rate of exchange (other than USD, who is giving a good whipping to the EUR as of lately...).

Thanks much. It is a great jacket. Pretty much perfect, if the dimensions are right!
