Does anyone recognize this Cafe Racer?

Sh!tty pics I know, but wondering if anyone recognizes this jacket. Looks like 60's early 70s to me based on cut and the chest zip pulls. It's almost free, so I thought I'd ask!

Cheers,

Looks like Bates.

I 2nd the notion, absolutely all the design elements of a Bates.

... and if it costs next to nothing, grab it.

Photo screams Bates even before I read the comments by others. So yes I agree with the others.

Thanks guys. Bates Competition I think. I was thinking Bates at first, but thrown off by the Black (vice yellow) liner. I'm going to snag it!

Cheers!

Early Bates- Grab it quick!

It's almost certainly to small, so I'll clean it up and post pics when I get it! Man I'm on a 60's run! Just waiting for this one to arrive from Langlitz after a main zip repair... Horsehide to boot!

So this from the seller: Pit to pit is about 18", sleeve from should is about 22.5" and back of collar to hem is just over 23". No labels.

So SUPER small. I guess my kid is going to be looking pretty good in a week or two!

Those Bates had interesting design details, the way they rounded the chest pockets on some, and I think it’s one of the few jackets that I would prefer with the seam in the middle of the back panel. It just works. Even the collar had a rounded corner which made it different than the pointed j100 collar
