I'm selling off one of my leather jackets. This is a vintage Harley Champ-style jacket. It has had a liner replacement and whoever did it didn't preserve the inside tag - so I have no idea who made it. It has a beefy Talon zipper on the front. All zippers work. The D-pocket zipper zips upwards, as opposed to modern zip-downs.
This is really thick leather. I've been told by someone more knowledgeable than myself that it's horsehide but I can't say for sure since the tag is gone. If not horsehide, then it's definitely steerhide.
I found out just how thick the leather is while sewing on the patches! Ripped my fucking thumb to pieces. I used a proper triangular tipped leather sewing needle, so the leather won't rip at the stitch holes. If you wanted to take the patches off there won't be giant stitch holes. I used waxed dental floss for thread. This is a great trick. It's super strong, it glides through the leather, and it has a nice contrast against the black leather. There are three patches: a DTT patch on the left arm, BSA on the right arm and a Triumph patch on the left waist.
There is some wear - or 'distressing' - at the collar.
Again, the tag is gone so I don't know the size, but I would estimate it at 42. I'm a bit under 6 foot and weigh 170 pounds and it fits me fine.
Pit to pit: 22
Shoulder to shoulder: 20
Shoulder to sleeve: 23
Collar to edge (front): 19
I'm asking$125 $100, shipped to from Toronto to Canada or US. Local pick up is ok too. If I don't get a buyer within a week, I'm putting it on eBay.
