Collaboration Cafe Racer Jacket $999.00 (new condition) — note shipping costs below Fit: comfortable fit in the right size Leather: veg-tanned black pigment Shinki horsehide Lining: black viscose acetate Zipper: vintage nickel black-tape 1950s Talon Chest zippers: Waldes No.5 reproduction Sleeve zippers: vintage nickel black-tape 1950s Talons Thread: black nylon Size: 44 Five (5) jackets just like the images show are now available Good Wear Leather and Himel Bros. have been working together and our latest model of jacket is a Cafe Racer. This jacket is based on the pattern of an original Buco Racer, so for those familiar with the pattern, this will be a familiar design. We have only one available right now, made with black "teacore" Shinki horsehide, and for now, only in size 44. If you know John's typical size 44, this jacket will fit just right - we have a solid number of people who have been regularly purchasing his size 44 jackets, and we expect that these five will sell quickly. This jacket is comfortable, and the horsehide has beautiful, natural grain. The pattern is dignified and will do well for those who ride. The main zipper and sleeve zippers are all vintage NOS Talons, from GW's strong collection of vintage Talon zippers. The chest zipper is a reproduction No.5 nickel Waldes diamond chain, but later jackets will have vintage Talon and Conmar zippers, as we literally just got 300 vintage No.3 nickel and brass NOS chest zippers. We have plans to make a run of different sizes for this pattern, and all will be stock sizes. About Himel Bros.
