Is my dream jacket out there?

[CDHE]

All, My ideal jacket would be dead simple; a lot like an early Harley cafe racer jacket. Minimal pockets. Just one would be fine. Thin horsehide (probably black teacore), shirt collar, maybe a bi-swing back, but nothing else that's extra like half belt or lower hem. Does such a thing exist? Or would it have to be custom made? And who might be able to make it. Thanks!

Wrong area to post unless you make this a WTB specifically; however @regius (https://www.instagram.com/regiusjustregius)

The Flat Head FN-LJ-HS006 might be perfect for you then

Why don't you get the real deal. There are several that fit that bill. The one pocket HD come up ones in a while. However, as lucyismylady pointed out,Regius can make a killer one.
Keep us updated in with your hunt.

I have an old one pocket. my absolute favorite, but for some strange reason it keeps shrinking around the waist! Figured that , as long as I need to replace it, I would add a shirt collar.

If your dream jacket is out there and you get it - will your dream about your dream jacket vanish? I suspect you may have future dreams about that next dream jacket. That first jacket that 'hits the spot' is just a catalyst to another dream jacket that is just a bit different, a bit better and maybe even surpass your first one!

Thanks to all. I will check out Regius

I have the exact same issue with all my trousers, it must be the fabric.

Well, that a top shelf option that you're not really looking to invest into (not right now, at least)...

...but the style you describe, while basically an epitome of what one used to consider the most straightforward of leather jackets, has been ignored for so long that it had now became somewhat exotic.

Luckily, you can always count on Vanson to make things right...

schott 689 seems close unless the side adjusters are an issue

Ha. Yes. I suppose that the whole effort is a bit of a distraction.
