Vanson says horsehide on their labels if that was the hide they used. What are the zippers? They released horsehide jackets in Europe and Japan with RiRi zippers. But it also said horsehide on the label.

Perfect fit on you!

This label is from 50s and 60s. So called white label. This jacket is the real deal. I have seen this label on many HD cafe racer jackets from the 50s, but first time on a cross zip.

I am speechless.

Any with Powerpoint? ;)

Deal of the year.

Aw shucks, thanks @photo2u, but I don't deserve it. Up until not long ago a nice Bates could be had for $200-300, dunno what they cost now. The cat-eye pockets is what attracted me to Bates - had several. Passaic is great too, but their pockets are at a too sharp angle for me. It is a matter of...

You guys ruined the "Show your graining" thread for me.

^^ Very nice fit.

The last three pics are quite good!

NOT wearing it today. Man I miss my Bates.

Ton, it may be difficult to see from pics how the zipper behaves. If it bites into the leather it is not good.

Phew! It is in good hands then.

Unfortunately sold. I have not seen a Kit Karson like that, ever. Wow. Hopefully someone here got it. Or it could show up in Japan for 5x. PS - It was a Kit Carson, before they were forced to change it to Kit Karson for copyright reasons. My only consolation is that it was way too big for me...
