I might totally regret this, but I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in my BRG Brooks.

Measurements:
pit to pit- 20.5 in. / 52.07 cm.
taper at hips- 18.5 in. / 47 cm.
bottom hem- 19.5 in. / 49.53 cm.
shoulders- 17.75 in. / 45.085 cm.
sleeve- 25 in. / 63.5 cm. (straight)..... 26 in. / 66.04 cm. (around curve)
back length- 25.25 in. / 64.135 cm.

Here is a gallery with photos and measurements:

Feel free to contact me, and I will provide any other measurements, photos, etc.
I wear a 38, and this fits me well, but could possibly fit a trim size 40.
I am 5 ft 10 and currently 172lbs.





Thanks for looking.

Don't do it. You'd most certainly regret it. That's a gorgeous jacket and if it were my size, I'd already be sending you a PM with the exact opposite message that you'd never miss it to try to acquire it .

I really want a black jacket first... but that is a cool green and looks like it could fit me.

This is such a cool jacket.

Black Brooks cafe racer jackets are a dime a dozen. This is ultra-RARE, so you might want to grab this first and the black one later.

I hope you come to your senses and keep this one. If it fit me I would be interested. I am only 5lbs heavier but need a 22 minimum better a 22.5 to 23 chest

I like looking but I can not bring myself to hit the like button

I'm definitely interested. What kind of leather is it, and what's your price?

 

[Monitor]

The kind of cafe racer, or leather jacket in general, that you can't upgrade upon.

Essentially impossible to find color from Brooks. I had a Brimaco in BRG and it fit me absolutely perfectly. I paid $400 for it and sold it like a fool. One of the few true regrets I have in this hobby.
Fits you so well @handymike. GLWS.

 

[deepestbluest]

Am I weird for wanting this because it matches my bike?

 

[Knakorn Piulueangsawat]

Can I have more information about the leather and the price?

 

[Man of Vintage]

Stellar Brooks - made even better with those diamond pulls. Typically Brooks have the tear drop chest zips. You'll sell that no problem.

Thank you everyone for the PM’s and interest in the jacket!

I have decided to keep it.

I think that's a wise decision. I don't understand why you even thought about selling it. It's a gem and it looks great on you.

 

[handymike]

Thank you.
I was chasing after a Lewis Leathers in the BRG sheep that has long been a hide I’ve dreamed of.
Fortunately @ton312 talked me off the ledge.

 

[Maxwell Von Chesapeake]

Many thanks to @handymike for letting me try this beautiful jacket on! It was fun talking jackets and watches with you.

 

[Will Zach]

Hmmm, this looks like a perfect fit. It should be yours if @handymike ever changes his mind.

 

[Moontanning]

Or I'll see about having a few ribs removed so it can fit me.... love that jacket.
