rin tanaka wrote a couple books but they are out of print, your jacket is a replica of that harley jacket, which harley stopped making in the late 50s they changed the design simultaneous to the larger american man needing a bigger cut. Brimaco and many others copied this pattern, yours is not horsehide and has a moore generous cut than that with steel spots as opposed to solid nickleRepresto said:

My jacket is ASHY est 1978 Cowhide jacket made in Pakistan.
I think it's fake Lewis Leathers style in the 70's.
Got it on Ebay from these guys

They often have good looking leather jackets. Only problem is that the shipping they quote is bit high...
My goal is to get real Lewis Leathers Jacket. I guess after opening my Cafe/Bar.
Does anyone like Red Jacket? They look identical to mine...

*that* explains why all the girls have been swarming all over me when I wear it!
I also have a Hein Gericke made Hondaline jacket. It's exactly like the one in this photo

However, mine is not a size 46 worn by a large, naked Harley biker chick!! I don't know how this lady even zips it up.
It's actually quite a nice jacket. Not vintage (I'm guessing 90's?) but it's a solid made jacket, nice thick leather, double zips at the front, no collar, a nice belt AND unlike most bike modern jackets, it doesn't have a fat guy waist.

no, no, no! You took it wrong. I just meant it literally, if anyone could help me, Im sure it would be you!himelator said:
I really am not looking for anything specific. The red jacket on ebay actually looks pretty awesome to me. I might even bid on that. So I guess Im wondernig where I can find more jackets like that. Searching google for sidezipped motorcycle jacket didnt give the best results, I got like two jackets that are sorta similar to what I want.
ya! Im not sure about sizng though, Ill try and measure myself tomorrow, but Im really skinny!
Check the ebay site where the jacket is made. If you're looking for Schott Brothers stuff, check ebay.com. If you're looking for Lewis Leathers/Aviakit, check ebay.co.uk
I see tons of Perfecto's around...but I've never come across a LL's jacket in my local market searches.

I bought this guy for $45 shipped. I know Brooks generally go a bit cheaper than other brands but I feel like I got a good deal and am happy with the jacket, although I prefer the style without the buckles on the side and no vents on the back. I could maybe use an extra inch or so in the shoulder width and the jacket length, but it's not bad.
