Lost Worlds Easy Ryder Cafe Racer in Russet Brown - Size 40

[Bender]

Here is a Lost World's Easy Ryder in Russet Brown, size 40. I love this jacket, but it was already a bit redundant in my collection when I bought it, and due to my recent acquisition of my grail cafe racer, it's become very redundant... so it's on the block.

Features a left-side chest zip, handwarmer pockets, and an interior left-side pocket. Low-profile gusseted shoulders with underarm footballs... Excellent range of motion while still keeping a clean side silhouette. Waist adjusters with heavy duty brass buckles. This jacket is one of the nicest I've owned, and I'm including Real McCoy's, The Flat Head, Toys McCoy and Rainbow Country in that statement.

I am the second owner, I bought it basically new from a long-time member here, and it's been with me since February 21st of this year. Due to the redundancy (and the weight), it didn't get much wear. Still has a lot more breaking in to do. It's Lost Worlds... This will be a project for somebody, lol.

Two things to note:

1. I removed the interior hang chain. I hate hang-chains, they feel weird, and they always break anyway. I was gonna replace it with leather cord or something, but didn't get around to it. Plenty of leather cord on Amazon, easy mod, or leave as-is.

2. The original black throat latch snaps looked weird to me, as they didn't match the rest of the hardware, so I replaced them with snaps in the correct antique brass. The work was done by Tony's Leather of Beverly Hills. A simple job to splurge on at Tony's, but I wanted to make sure the work was immaculate and done with premium snaps that matched perfectly. He didn't disappoint.

Asking exactly what I paid... $1000 shipped CONUS, Paypal F&F. Thanks!

[Shawnziee]

Wow what a beauty, and good call on the snaps

I really like this jacket. Where are you located?

Los Angeles... always open to local deals!

 

[Bender]

Oh, for those who DM'd me... This is the 3.5oz hide, not the 4.0.

So plenty heavy, but not that "for the bike only" stuff.

 

[Backchannel]

Hey you’re in LA sweet! No tariffs! I’m very interested.

 

[Bender]

To the top! Offers always entertained.

Worth noting I bought this jacket directly from Harrison Ford who wore it in every single Star Wars movie. See pic below. It just looks like a blue cotton vest because of special effects or something.

Some may argue that Lost Worlds wasn't founded until like 10 years after the movie was shot, but remember, when you're measuring time in units of distance (Kessel run in under 12 parsecs), Einstein's theory of relatively comes into play... Meaning Lost Worlds leather existed not only after, but during, and before the movie's production... which is how George Lucas was able to purchase it.

Science, guys. Science.

Up!

Hey, kid, it's me, Harrison Ford. You may know me from American Graffiti, or from bit parts on Ironside, The FBI, and Journey to Shiloh. My good friend Bender has time travelled to 1976 and met me on set with his wild electric typewriter-television thingy to have me write an endorsement for this jacket. Apparently, in 2026, I'm too grumpy to bother, so it sounds like the whole acting thing didn't work out. I knew this goofy space-man thing would bomb. "Star Wars"... sheesh. Anyway, yeah, I'm totally wearing the jacket, and you should buy it from Bender. And I guess if in 2026 you need your deck redone, ask Bender for my number.

 

[Shawnziee]

Harrison, I appreciate you taking time out of your busy 1976 schedule to write this endorsement. The jacket looks great and your recommendation carries a lot of weight. But after seeing Bender's asking price, I'm starting to suspect that his "wild electric typewriter-television thingy" is actually a machine that converts perfectly normal jackets into luxury collectibles. I mean, I was expecting "vintage jacket" pricing. What I found was "small moon in a desirable school district" pricing.
At first, I thought maybe the jacket came with a signed photo of you. Then I thought maybe it came with you. Now I'm wondering if the price includes a personal visit from 2026 Harrison Ford to stare silently at me with mild disappointment while I wear it. Great jacket. Questionable economics. Tell Bender that if he's traveling through time anyway, he should go forward a few years and wait for inflation to catch up to his asking price.

Solo: What do you need?

Obi-Wan: Just a jacket... legendary horsehide, impeccable tailoring and finish... And a stand collar.

Solo: What, some sort of a high-end cafe racer?

Obi-Wan: Let's just say we'd like a Lost Worlds. Without any... Stuart entanglements.

Solo: Well, that's the real trick, isn't it? And it's gonna cost you something extra. $950. All in advance.

Shawnziee: $950?! We could almost buy our own industrial leather sewing machine for that!

Solo: That's right, kid... but who's gonna sew with it- you?

Shawnziee: You bet I could! You know, I'm not such a bad tailor myself- we don't have to sit here and listen-

Obi-Wan: We can pay you $200 less, plus we'll cover shipping to Alderaan.

Solo: $750 plus actual shipping? (beat) Okay, you guys got yourselves a jacket. I can ship as soon as you're ready.

Hey Bender, I was trying to reach out to you about this jacket, but I may not be using the contact correctly. I tried responding in the contact area, but it may have not gotten to you. Your jacket looks amazing I had a couple of questions. I don’t know how to PM you sorry, I am trying to figure this all out.
