Hi everyone!

I have two jackets here for sale, both are available for shipping at buyer’s expense to anywhere in the world from Ontario, Canada.

The first is a Sharper Image Bomber Jacket from the 1988 Catalogue. I always remembered going through the Shaper Image catalogue and seeing jackets and cigar cutters and thinking they were so cool! This was a piece I looked for specifically and was so stoked to find in such great condition. The wool on the sleeves is free of pilling and stains. Great Made In The USA jacket made with thick, distressed-brown cowhide.

It looks great but unfortunately this is a Large LONG and I find the sleeves just a little long for me my 5’7” frame. Will fit a taller person perfectly.

Shoulder to Shoulder...20”
Back Length (from bottom of collar seam)...26.5”
Pit to Pit...23.5”
Arm Length...27”
Sleeve Condition...
Asking $120 USD + Shipping.

Next up is a Reed Sportswear Cafe Racer - now I can’t confirm that this is a Reed Sportswear Cafe Racer, but I did send pics to Ross at Reed Sportswear who says it does look like an earlier version of their 104Z but even he is not 100% sure.

Regardless, the jacket is made of a very heavy waxed cowhide however and has vintage Leathercraft USA tags on the inside. The only other tag identifies its size as a 42. It fits like a Medium.

Sleeve Length: 26"
Shoulder to Shoulder: 18”
Back Length (from bottom of collar seam): 24”
Pit to Pit: 25”

It’s a gorgeous cafe racer with some minor piping detailing going down the front. The zippers are almost gun-metal and the leather is a rich, soft dark black that pops no matter what you’re wearing. It’s also substantially thick and feels like it would offer protection when riding as well. It feels identical to my Schott 519 waxy cowhide.

Please see additional close-up pics and details -

Wow The Sharper Image! I wanted to live in that store as a kid. I musta gone into the one in Sherman Oaks everyday school of 1988—to browse, drink mini cups of tea and play their tiny air hockey table…which we accidentally broke.
