My quest for the perfect vintage motorcycle jacket continues. Just bought this off eBay, 1970s Langlitz Columbia. Fingers crossed it fits
I won this prototype, never to be produced IH type I. 21oz black fade to grey denim. My last denim jacket purchase:

I’d have thought the same but all my IH gear measures out like that! It’s about 1/2” less in the chest than my 526pj. I probably won’t be able to button the top two buttons but I can live with that.Damn, nice catch! Very decent of Giles not to consider the 7 minute late offer. 22" PTP though... can I save a first spot in the queue incase it does not fit? Not saying I hope it won't work but ey, 22" ptp is what I wear and going by pictures you are twice my size

I'm stunned again! Just bought another custom jacket from the same seller. He told me last night he was putting up another for sale. I ask for a pic. Today he sent me a message he posted it. I went looked and bought.
Both the jackets are customs, but in my size. I know the company and know they should fit. Both may be just a bit bold for me. I'm sure they will draw attention, may just be odd Ducks. I doubt I would have ordered either given how these stand out from the crowd.
Fortunately I have a 24 month same as cash deal through my paypal card. If I don't want them I'm confident others will.
Should be here end of next week.
Looks like the heavy Bison hide from Lost Worlds? Or what maker and leather is it? Looking forward to fit pics and hope that you will also get the one which is lost in mail soon!I got one jacket yesterday the other is lost in the mail. What a drag.

I am looking at this one. Lining looks pretty beat up and it’s got a missing button, and I don’t know if it fits (just asked the seller for measurements).
It’s pretty cheap though (51 usd) and I think it looks really cool. Might be worth it?

Pretty excited to be getting this Aero Connolly Steerhide Highwayman!
Purchased this circa 1960s Bates CR. Padded, unlined and no pockets. A true racing shirt. Really looking forward to cleaning, conditioning and wearing it.

Nothing better than a 60's Bates - beautiful jacket! All of my Bates are lined, how does your unlined version feel while being worn - still comfortable?
Awesome catch Gamma...I think you'll agree that Bates take on the CR is the cream of the crop. I've owned quite a few and they are something very special indeed.Purchased this circa 1960s Bates CR.
