FS: Flat Head Single Riders, Size 42

[Sagar85]

Hi TFL,

I got carried away and ordered a new Flat Head single rider because I love my old one so much. But then, I realized I really do not see myself wearing both. So, I’m looking to let go either a brand new one or a used one in very good condition (worn for about 20 times casually, no smoking).

This jacket wears lighter and offers incredible character to the leather with each wear, compared to FW mulholland/ rebels or RC Hercules or RMC Nelson. Also, length is longer than usual.

Attached are pics (first 2 pics are of new jacket, rest are of used one). Please know that the lighting dictates how this leather looks. It looks tea core under soft light and black under white or day light.

For reference: I’m 6’ and 190lbs with athletic build. I usually wear US Size L shirts. Measurements are as follows on both jackets.

Chest 22.5”
Shoulder 20”
Sleeve 25”
Back length 27”
Hem opening 21”

I’m asking $1950 for new one ($200 less than retail and comes with complete packaging including FH hanger) or $1500 for used one (can ship with complete packaging of new one and hanger). Shipping within US included. Here is the River and Hide link for more deets.

Best single rider jacket you can get. And I must say that the leather is best I ve tried. I prefer it over the Mulholland leather.

I usually wear size 42 (IT 52) tailored fit or size 44 (IT 54) slim fit. I attached IT52 tailored fit suit pics for your reference on fit.

Are these the same leather as far as you can tell? New jacket appears black while the used version looks dark brown to my eye.

Same exact leather color. Different lighting depending on how much sun light coming through the room window. Having said this, used one has a more significant textured look or leather feel throughout front and back panels right out of the box, while the new one is much more smoother in front and textured in back. Both same weight, thickness and finish. Just the inherent variation from hide to hide.

If you look first pictures, it’s as close as I could capture similarity in color. First 2 are of new jacket and next 2 are of used.

In summary, if this pattern is your style, you won’t be disappointed with leather. You’ll have to wear it to believe it or appreciate the beauty of this leather. If you look closely of the used one here, you can tell how nicely formed the shape to my body.

Attached. Thanks!

Thanks - I think that is going to be tight. The xl may be better for me. Very nice- will need to see if I can get to Rivet and Hyde to see in flesh.

Beautiful jacket. I'm trying to limit my purchases though. Curious how you ended up with two. Were they supposed to be different?

no difference. I loved the first one so much that I wanted second one. But then I got my hands on FW mulholland and rebels. So, do not really need two. This is the reason why I can sell either one of them. I just need one.
