It would be too much to call this a "deal," but this is a great jacket currently on ebay, hard to find HD Traveler. I actually stopped by the seller's house to try it on, and was very impressed with it. Leather is thick and really nice, fully broken in after 70 years! Dave Sheeley relined and refurbished the jacket, and it's just about as cool of a vintage MC jacket that I can imagine. Unfortunately, a bit too small for me. The seller, VInce, is a good guy.

Well I for one will watch it, but I could not ever wear it.
What is still there does not look too bad, good restoration project and with a good cleaning & conditioning this could really be a stunning vintage piece.
I give them an E for Effort - at least this one very important dimension is on there . The back length -

Like you, I've always admired the Traveler. They are seldom see in any size. A great job by Dave.

True. Best to contact the seller though.

FWIW I had a Speigel with a 23” back and it had a 22” chest, so probably a 40.

I agree though, doesn’t look too bad at all as far as being wearable. This is one you get for cheap, clean it up and wear the hell out of.
