FS/FT: Sugar Cane Indian Motorcycle Jacket, sz. 40

Best not let this drag on forever...

Full review here: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/sugar-cane-indian-motorcycle-jacket.99895/

Exact measurements, measured garment laying flat...
  • P2P (underarm): 57 cm (58 stretched) / 22.5+"
  • Waist width: 50 cm / 19.5"
  • Shoulder width (measured back): 50-ish cm / 19.5"
  • Sleeve length (measured around the curve): 68 cm / 27"
  • Back length (w/o collar): 61 cm / 24"

IMO, this is a mega-Grail. Absolutely the most high end jacket I've handled. No longer made. No longer obtainable. Maybe you'll score one tomorrow for $400. Maybe you won't see another one in 5 years. Dunno.

To add to a review, I've confirmed that my jacket is an earlier one, made from over-dyed leather. Later ones were made all in black leather thus only this version will fade to brown.

Extras are super thicc shearling collar and a massive belt. Dunno if these were actually sold separately but this isn't your lousy MC jacket belt. We're talking 5 mm or 12-13 oz weight here.

Though worn, there's absolutely no damage to the leather or the lining. Collar seems brand new. Two pocket zipper pulls broke, as you can see in the images. Easily replaceable. Still perfectly usable. Zippers work flawlessly.
Clean, without even the slightest smell of any kind.

These jackets sell for a lot of money and for a reason. Hence I'd prefer a trade. A Grail for a Grail. Will consider something equally cool and rare. RMC, Fine Creek, Lost Worlds, etc. in a size 42.

If you're interested, you know where to find me. :) Any questions? I'm here.

Thanks for looking!

Wow! That's the way to do it. Rip off the band aid and let it air out before you're attached. This is such a sweet jacket! Someone is going to be very happy.

Are you SURE you want an RMC? I've got a buddy that touched one once, didn't think it was anywhere near as nice as this jacket.

Well, as it's getting warmer, I'm less and less inclined to trade but the jacket is still really tight around the waist... Would still much rather trade then sell.
I'm interested only in a cross zip. Schott, Vanson, Aero are okay too just as long as it's nothing run of the mill. I really wanna try out different jackets, something I haven't seen.

Will part with this for 800 GBP, shipped to your doorstep.

Price is set in stone. I'd still like to trade you but I'm not selling this God tier jacket you possibly won't see in another five years for peanuts. RMC goes for over grand and a half on a second hand market, and we're talking jackets that are very easily acquirable at that, so...

Thanks! As for the price... For this jacket, it's a good price. I believe. But paying this kind of money for a couple of pieces of dead animal hide... Insanity.

OTOH... a jacket like this really is a lifetime purchase. You could wear in every day for the next 30 years.... and if you did a jacket that would grow old with you and be your faithful companion through many adventures would end up being one of the cheapest per wear items you'd own!
