Vintage Brooks Cafe Racer 42 Detroit Talon Real Solid Shape $150

[Madhouse27]

Classic old school Brooks cafe racer style jacket. Made in USA, talon zips, solid condition, all zippers, snaps, pocket etc. are intact and in working order. This jacket has a nice hide with some great graining. It was pretty dusty when I got it. The ONLY thing I have done to this jacket was wipe it down with a damp cloth. It’s pretty stiff and could probably use some further detailing and conditioning. Because I had no hope of fitting into it, I decided to leave those tasks to the next owner so they could use their products of choice. This is a high quality jacket but has a fairly slim fitting vintage cut to it. I tried to include plenty of measurement pictures but I you need anything else please ask. $150 plus $15 shipping in the U.S. Thanks for looking!

Can you show the chest measurement with the jacket completely flat?

Between the action back, dual chest pockets and fairly stiff leather, getting this completely flat is a little bit of a challenge. I put a couple of books on it but it probably still has a little more wiggle room. I‘d call it 20 1/4“ to 20 1/2“ across the chest.

Too small for me but a nice piece. GLWS!

Thanks. I can squeeze into the occasional size 42 but definitely not this one lol.

Thanks, it does have a great hide. I’d like to find one that will fit but at this point I’m almost thinking about trying a size 46.
