WTB: Black Cafe Racer 42 R

[Acererak]

Your closet is bursting with hide. Your wife is tearing her hair out. Let me help you. I’m looking for a black cafe racer/j-100. A size 42 (or a 44 that runs smaller). PtP~23”. Preferably with 2 chest pockets. Whatcha got?

This sounds like it's directly addressed to me... lol.

I have a bunch of black Cafe Racer jackets in 40, 42, 44... I think the only one that has just two chest pockets is my new Board Racer, which isn't for sale. But let me take a look through what I have and I'll see if I have anything you might like.

I appreciate it. Congrats on your new BR. I love the look, though the measurements seem incompatible with my frame, so I’ve stayed away from it.

Try looking for a Brooks 1960s gold label cafe racer. There's plenty on eBay, for under 200USD. Tmitchell has (had?) one for sale in size 42 on this forum.

I have a "no name" racer in black. Decent leather decent shape. It is missing the zip in lining. If interested will send measurements and picks . $50 mailed to U.S.

Thanks. Yeah, I’ll check it out.

Thanks for the referral!

Yes, I have the Brooks. Let me know if you have questions.

As stated above, lot of Cafe Racers fit the description.

I have a cafe racer coming that would be the one, except it is probably too small for you.

I have a couple of black Cal Leather Cafe Racers in Horsehide with 2 chest pockets that I could de-acquisition from the collection ;-). And if you're close to San Francisco, we could meet up so you could check them out and try them on. PM me if you're interested, and I'll send you some pics.
Cheers!

No problem, sir! Highly recommended referral as well, you are an extremely professional and pleasant man to deal with! And a great offering of jackets to boot.

Lots of near-hits. I also have a black Simmons-Bilt Roadster in Horween Bison, if anyone is interested in a trade. It's marked 44, but fits more like a 42, given the thickness of the hide. Will post photos and measurements, if anyone is interested.

Met up with Technovox who sold me a gorgeous Just Leather Big Label J-100. Can’t take it off. Many thanks!

So I’m all set, though I’d be happy to buy your Aero Cafe Racer 42 ;-)
