This jacket was made for me by Johnson Leather about three years ago and has seen no use outside of my home and little use inside of it. The jacket is based on a vintage 1930's motorcycle jacket in Alan's personal collection which was customized into a 1930's-style aviator jacket with a bi-swing back, button cuffs, and side straps (the original had side laces and zippered sleeves). The leather is Horween's black overdye 4oz.+ Chromexcel cowhide. The body lining is black cotton and the sleeves are black satin-nylon. There are three outside pockets (two slash and one zippered map pocket) and one inside breast pocket. The jacket is very stout and heavy with no issues other than typical wear, but feels much lighter when worn. The leather has a brown base and scuffs easily to reveal the undercoat. The leather already is showing graining, especially on the upper chest area. There is plenty of breaking-in left on this jacket. Note about the fit: it has a vintage cut with high armholes and looks classy when worn. The tag size is 42 but has a little extra length. For reference, I'm 6'2", 195 lbs. and it fits me snugly and well. Here are the measurements:
Chest: 24"
Shoulders: 20"
Sleeves: 25.5"
Back (collar seam to hem): 25.5"

Recently, a Johnson Leather motorcycle jacket in the same leather and similar condition sold on eBay for $515. My jacket is offered at $400 with $20 USPS Priority Mail shipping and includes insurance and signature confirmation (if requested). Please review the pictures and description before bidding because I cannot accept returns. Thank you for reading my listing and Happy New Year.
