I think it's a beauty....looks like the ba***rd child of Russian Military, WW1 German pilot and 70's pimp :)

Any ideas chaps ? That lining looks decidedly UN-civilian

My first impression was that of a German World War I or II leather trench coat, but what do I know... It almost certainly looks military, to me.

Cool once again Mr Ukali .... is it another one of your ridiculously cheap bargains you have the skill and patience to snag?

PS: did you ever find out which company made/origins of the cafe racer?

What a beautiful jacket! Does the jacket belong to you already or is this something you plan on purchasing? Definitely looks like a military style coat.

Cheers guys, it's not something I own....just found it very interesting...also I just found another thread that I actually commented on with the same style coat featuring !!

Speedbird...bad story regarding the cafe racer....the guy sent me it but on opening the undamaged packaging I found the jacket had a 4 inch hole in the back seam !!!

Listed as "as new" condition mind...

I'm in the middle of a paypal dispute that I started about it...

I'd rather have the money back to be honest...the leather is really poor quality and so thin a baby could tear it ;)

Good luk with that dispute I've actually had fairly good luck with paypal that way in te past, though my disputes were simpler as it was a case of me sending payment and nothing arriving from the seller at all...

Sorry to hear that ... more evidence of the East London rag trade though I am sad to say.... :rolleyes:
