FS: Old, Crusty Vanson (Associates) Cafe Racer (42-ish)

PRICE
€160 plus shipping. IBAN or PayPal, F/F.

INFO
Early Vanson cafe racer, back from their Vanson Associates white tag era, made from brown cowhide of a fairly standard type you'd expect to see in the 1970s, that had developed rather outstanding... character and patina is what we would refer to this particular type of wear around here.
Two exterior pockets. Cotton lining. Simple as that.

Yet again have I fallen for that worn-out, rugged biker jacket, hoping that this is the one that will make me look good, even though none ever do. Things had gotten worse, too, because now I don't just look ratty but I look ratty and old.

You might have more luck, though!

CONDITION
Considerably worn & used, obviously. Leather shell does exhibit heavy fading & patina but it is, regardless, in a surprisingly good condition. Without rips, tears, holes, damage, etc. Strong, healthy, etc.
► Noteworthy issue is that the edges of the sleeve cuffs are frayed.
Otherwise, beside superficial scuffs & abrasions here and there, the jacket is all good. Lining and pockets are fine and all all hardware is fully operational.


SIZE & DIMENSIONS
No size tag but if I am to venture a guess, the jacket corresponds to an US size 42 or Large and the approximate measurements, taken to the best of my abilities, are...
  • Chest width (P2P): 58 cm / 23"
  • Waist width (max.): cca. 54 cm / 21.2"
  • Shoulders width (back): 52 cm / 20.5"
  • Sleeve length (outside curve): cca. 65 cm / 25.5"
  • Back length (without collar): 64 cm / 25"
MISC
For any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Happy to help. The jacket will be shipped from the European Union. Thank you!
