STAR GLOVE Leather Co Policeman Motorcycle Leather Jacket Size about 40 - USED VINTAGE CLOTHING GASOLINE WEB SHOPPING (shop-pro.jp)

Nice jacket. The price is consistent for the Japanese market. For me here in California is a little more than I will pay.

Maybe a bit expensive. Though Mr. S jackets are pricey, they are exceptional. The Cal is an early Cal and in a size 50, so, again, depends on your interest. Definitely rare. Definitely a top tier jacket. His other jackets are priced a bit high for me. And I don’t know if or how much he deals.

I asked the cellar about the sleeve length, later in my text I asked him if he was willing to negotiate, & where he came upon the jacket.. Here is his response "I'm sorry! Totally my mistake. The sleeve length from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve is 26 inches, not from the center of the back collar. Trying to list too many things and fell asleep on that one. If you need any other measurements or photos please just let me know. This came out of an estate in South San Francisco but I don't know much more than that." I guess he answered our question he's not willing to negotiate. A great jacket I would love to add it to my collection, however it may be worth its price to someone. I just can't justify $900 for a jacket I would barely wear in South Florida. Maybe if it had the Cal-Leathers label on the inside?

I’ve owned a few Cals and recently moved out of S FL. Only the insane would have so many jackets in such a climate. I would normally wear them on rides. Then many a pit stop for a nice beverage to cool off. My haunt was Cafe 27 for a while. Nice people there.

Electric Leather Studio, size 40. "Mushman's Schwarz Panzer Tour", $1,417.50.
Cool jacket, but more of a find at that price.

Really goodlooking, nicely broken in Vanson Model B for €300, in Germany. Size tag 40, but the pit-to-pit seems more like a 38 to me.

You're right, jacket weather only last 3 months in South Florida. My favorite haunt is Stan's in Goodland Florida! On Sundays they draw crowd between 500 and 750 people. On Saturdays we ride to Joanie's blue crab on 41. And occasionally to Alabama Jacks on your side, I'm sure you've been there. Insanity is a funny thing, it seems the more jackets I buy the more jackets I want! I've been able to thin the herd down to 8. 3 Schott's, 3 Langlitz's & 2 Vanson's. I wish the seller well on a successful sale of that beautiful Cal. If he dropped the price I would seriously consider it.

Alabama Jack’s and Gilbert’s are good spots to stop prior to heading further down the keys. That may be the only really nice ride in south Florida.

7 hours left on this Albert Richard drybak auction. Not in the best condition though

 

[JMax]

Measurements were so all over the place that I just gave up.

Owner is an 80 year old gent who has his brother selling the jacket on eBay. Both seem very nice. He bought it new in the mid-50s, while in his teens. Rode MCs in his yute.

I got the same kinda results:

"My brother tried to measure it the best he could and it is as follows. Top to bottom is 22 1/2 ". Collar to Waist is 27 1/2-28. Waist is about 38"

You don’t see this on The Bay too often. My size too. Hmmmmmm.
The sleeves might be a little short.
