Green, Blue, Red leather cafe racer jackets

[Oakbark]

Hi gents
What vintage brands should i focus on when looking for a leather cafe racer jacket in Green, Blue or burgundy/reddish color in this order.
I mean what brands were more used to make jackets in these colors so that I can narrow my long research.
First makers came to my mind are: Brimaco, Shields, Kehoe, Lewis leather, but I m sure I m missing some others

Bates is the first name that pops in my mind. I believe they were the first to use color the racers of the day soon were sporting colorful jackets. It started with a woman's touch. Bates made a well put together jacket

Likely depends on time period as well. Lewis were uniformly black or brown, with the odd blue, for their jacket until into the 70s; their 1978 catalogue made a big deal out of a 'blaze orange' colour, which they marketed as a safety feature. IME, most British labels brought the colours in in the 70s as a fashion thing. I've also often wondered whether it helped to sell leathers to those who didn't want the 'bad boy' associations black leather jackets had by that point in time.

One of my favorite cafe racers I have in blue is from Reed. Love it.
