Here\'s a fantastic, all original, 1950\'s vintage, horsehide leather motorcycle jacket for you. This jacket has that classic \"Wild Bunch\" look that every true rebel is looking for.

The jacket is in good condition with a few issues, as can be expected on an item of this age, that actually saw some use on the road.

The leather is in good shape throughout. Not dry. Very sturdy and with a lot of life left in it.

The zippers are all intact and they work great. The only flaw here is a missing ring on the left breast zip pocket. This has been replaced with a safety pin, in true punk fashion. Works just fine. The front zip is by \"Talon\".

A few of the other noticeable flaws are:

Cigarette odor. Not too overpowering, but noticeable.
Fabric at the collar, just above the logo has worn through and will need patching.
The belt is missing from the lower right side.
The right belt loop is held in place by a safety pin.
There is visible wear at the cuffs and inner waist.

On the plus side the liner is in overall fine shape with no tears at the arm pits.

All of the flaws are fixable and the jacket is a nice piece of wearable history as-is.

I cannot make out the manufacturer but I believe it begins with \"Wind\".

Tagged as a 42 but will fit smaller than that.
