Vintage Walter Dyer Motorcycle jacket in “Whiskey Brown”. Brass Talon main zip and Brass Talon zips on sleeves. Ring pulls on double chest pockets. All zips look to be original and all zips work fine. Quilted lining. Some scuffs here and there, but all in all in wonderful original vintage shape. Good solid motorcycle jacket with plenty of life. Why pay exorbitant Taylor Stitch prices for a copy when you can have the real original for a fraction of retail? Size 42-44 but please go by measurements. Approximate measurements:
Shoulder to shoulder seam: 19”
Armpit to armpit: 23”
Shoulder seam to end of cuff: 25”

Just asking what I have into it- $175.00.
Shipping is $20 Conus- USPS Priority Large Box, or available for pick-up here in the Bay Area.

A little too small for me, but if you get a bigger one like that one, I'll drive over the bridge and get it! :)

How accurate is your pit to pit? Is it on the conservative side? Or might there be some margin of error. I ask as the 23" is cutting it a bit tight for me. but if there may be another 1/2" in there it becomes possible.

You're welcome to come over and try it on!
Thanks for the invite, I don't get over to the city enough. I could probably squeeze into the P to P 23", shoulder to shoulder seam 19", the shoulder seam to end of cuff is the clincher 25". I gotta have at least 26".

Just picked up a new p to p 24", shoulder 20", sleeve 26", and it fits, but is fairly trim. Your real vintage jacket looks sweet, and is pretty dang close. Half the fun is the hunt. Thanks!

Pit to pit is one of the hardest measurements to gauge, with so many ways to measure differently. I think my 23" p2p might be right on the mark, or possibly even on the generous side...allowing for some margin of error. But if you want I can pm some photos including a measuring tape to show how I measured. Cheers!

Sure, that is kind of you. It is usually my long arms that are the problem though. But, you never know.

Sorry, but I don't ship to Russia. Just looking to sell it here in the US.

Sad to hear that((
Other people did the same international shipping from US to me, and it was very simple and reliable.
I had nice shipping experience and I exactly know what I say. For sure.
So, I haven't understood.
Of course, just up to you, Technovox. Good luck!

Since I have seen people refusing to ship outside of the US very often before..; Is shipping out of the US such big of a hassle? If I want to send to the US, I only have to write like three extra lines about what kind of item im shipping, it's value and my consent it's nothing illegal or dangerous.

Jacketjunkie, usually international shipping from US is a very simple and easy procedure, esp. via USPS Priority Mail for ex.
