Schott cat eye 654. Probably going off to eBay as its a bit too snug View attachment 50261

Shame, 'cause it really looks sweet.

Adventure time photo again. lol I know the jacket's not even visible, but it's just a Levi's leather trucker jacket from the 80's.

I don't know what is tight or right about Cafes. I just got another Brooks I'm trying to agree with.

Can we see some photos of it?

Here is the new Brooks, same as the old Brooks except better condition and smaller. It is sized 40 and feels like it. Here is the Catalog shot from 1973 Catalog calling their jackets -Shirts

Here is Tonights Brooks. Size 40

Wow, if I didn't have enough black cafe racers to last 4 lifetimes I'd be sending PMs to both Ton & Tmitchell, they are both REALLY nice!

 

[navetsea]

wow that is a perfect fit in my opinion, sleeve length is ideal too

My other Brooks Shirt has lost it's tag, but a 44. This one is tagged a 40. Now to find a 42. I think that would be perfect. these particular Brooks hides are thin skinned but very tough, have a "shirt" like fit. This 40 will do until I can secure a 42 in like condition. I've had other Brooks which much heavier leather and another, in a different style, the same weight. Does anyone make anything in this weight? or close? sorta thin and Crisp.

I've had about 6 Brooks cafe racers, both the two chest pocket and the side pocket versions. The older, chest pocket versions were very light leather. Maybe 2.2oz. The others are a bit thicker. Maybe 2.5oz. I hear that Brooks jackets are famously light. That's why I like them.

What Protein said. And this one's actually in my size! I think it looks great on you Terry. I would love to own a Brooks one day but there's always something else that takes priority. I don't even know why as Brooks are really perfect.

It's too hot for leather today (will be close to 90f later). This jacket is the only one I have that has venting. I've been looking for an armored perforated leather jacket form Vanson but haven't found a good deal yet.
