I picked up this really beautiful jacket from @Thuggee about a year ago during early onset TFL Effect. I have only worn it a few times and it is in as new condition. This is really a special jacket, the leather is soft and buttery, with unbelievable contrasting grain. Trying to get back what I paid, although as usual I could happily keep it. I just have way too many jackets, and cannot wear them all.
:)


This is from the original listing:

I'm the original owner of this jacket (was purchased new) only a couple of months old worn 2-3 times so it's like new, a size to big for me so off to a new home it goes.


Black Japense Shinki HorseHide, RiRi size 8 zipper, black cotton lining, black knits, 1 inside pocket, 2 outside hand warmer pockets as well as 2 flap snap button down pockets front pockets, jacket weight approx 2.2kg.

Referencing the photos if the included tape measure isn't clear-


• Pit to pit: 24inches

• Shoulders: 20 inches

• Length base of collar to hem: 26inches

• Sleeve length: 26inches


Comes from a Non-smoking home. No pets. It is tagged as a size 44.


Measurements are captured in the pictures. The measurements will tell you everything you need to know about whether it will fit you or not. Any questions please ask.

To determine if the size of this garment is appropriate for you, simply pick a similar type of garment in your wardrobe that fits well and apply the same measuring method (as described above). If the size of this garment matches (give or take approximately an inch) with the size of your garment, it will fit well. Keep in mind that leather jackets are outerwear and engineering precision does not necessarily apply.

Thanks @JMax. The teacore on the SB Roadster is cool, but the Shinki on this Memphis is really something special.

Peace.

This jacket needs to be worn, not stored in a box. Offers?
Im a 36/38 fit, so this cannot fit me. But I wanted to jump in and just say I always liked the A-2, G-1, flight jackets in black. I know its not mil-spec, but they always looked badass to me. And this looks so good. Love the color and grain on it. Man if it were my size! Good luck with the sale partner.

Thanks @dannyk, this is not an accurate repro, but rather a pretty nice civilian with just outstanding and luscious Shinki leather. I don't think SB does this leather any more.

If it fits anyone let's talk.

Jonesy,
A bit off topic here, but I was wondering what size your two tone Good Wear Arcadia is and if you would consider selling it?
