Various Bates jackets, sizes 38, 40, and 44

[Kubatu]

Hi folks,

I'm selling four Bates jackets on Ebay. I've seen them pop up here as well, and since they haven't sold in two auctions, I figured I might as well offer them up for sale here as well. This applies to all of the BIN leather items I have listed, but besides these jackets atm, there's just an old Schott police jacket and a pair of Brooks pants.

In terms of pricing, I'll subtract the percentage (12.55%) that Ebay would normally take. Since each item is listed at $220 shipped on Ebay, I'll sell each jacket here for $192.39 shipped.

Though I'm not in a rush to clear out these jackets, I'm a bit surprised they haven't sold yet. Three out of four are in fantastic condition, while the flat track jacket is still going strong, despite clear signs of use. The leather on all of these has this great grainy character, basically the exact opposite of a smooth hide. They aren't heavyweight jackets, but they are sturdy and thick. Satin lining in excellent condition, zippers are working well. Happy to answer any questions. Measurements are available on each individual Ebay listing.

I posted most of these on the Finds and Deals thread. Love these styles and I wish they fit me because I'd buy at least one of them. Very cool jackets. GLWS

All very cool jackets for sure. I suspect that with the stripes and what not they need to find the right buyers. That fourth one is a stunner -- but on the small side.

If your racing shirt for size 44 I am sure it would be sold by now I am tempted, just to hang it in my office to look at it

Cool jackets. 1980’s circa?

Close, but a little bit older. The first two jackets both have Talon teardrop zippers, which places them in the 1960s-1970s range. The fourth jacket's label dates to 1960s - early 1970s as well, but it is a bit older than the other two. You can see the label differences between them. I'm not sure of the dates for the third jacket. It still has the classic Bates tag, so it's not recent, but it has an Ideal zipper and non-Talon teardrop zips, so I don't really know how to date that one.

Hey folks,

A bit too many jackets building up in my small space again, so I'll drop the price to $150 + actual shipping costs PP F&F. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
