I think that may be a close out price on certain sizes. I recall seeing them on the site for more. Nothing crazy, but definitely more than one fitty.

Definitely sale prices, but if you look at the Ascot stuff, it looks like they were originally two fifty, and while it doesn't say they were made by Bates, it does look like the same jacket.

Cool jacket. Yeah, $300 or so all in seems about right. It’s a nice jacket, lightweight. These run a bit smaller than say, Vanson.

Each time I put on my Bates diagonal zip, I am reminded that repro is good, original is better but Bates is absolutely the best. I had three different styles, still have one & each was the best in its class.
I have something else in the works right now a LL but I was thinking about about a modern Bates Competition or a Vanson Comet as an affordable choice for a riding jacket. I was leaning towards the Bates as they mentioned on their instagram that they will replicate old color ways/colors/stripes.
Anyone with any semi recent experience in ordering that can share wait time and order satisfaction please let me know. I’m still searching for color the ideas and depending on the up charge I’d really like to have a multiple stripe jacket, I’ll probably add elbow and shoulder protection.
This looks weirdly interesting to me but in some other colors. Since I have other jackets in the pipeline with more prestigious leathers, figured Bates is not meant to be a Shinki style jacket and might as well and let them do what they do best.

Is that the one I sold in a moment of weakness?!? Crazy good jacket.
Definitely a moment of weakness, or was watching Terminator 2 just the other night trying to expose my younger wife to one of my childhood favorites and even she seemed interested when I showed her that you can get the original still from Bates. Soooo expensive though

Tell me how you got your wife to watch Terminator?!! My wife just walks out of the room without saying a word. Kinda weird. Up and out.
Here is a teal Bates Highwayman I look at from time to time. Really cool.

She is 27 and I just turned 40 so she grew up watching **** movies and every time I try to turn on a movie that’s older, she immediately complains. She can tell from the video quality. I tried to get her to watch The Godfather trilogy, Braveheart, and even Gladiator and she just can’t do it. She would rather watch a madevfor Netflix horror movie that looks like it was filmed on an iPhone than classic major production movie. Obviously streaming has ruined Hollywood and big budget blockbusters are few abs far between.Tell me how you got your wife to watch Terminator?!!

With that said she ended up watching half of it before the complaints were more frequent and we ended up watching some Ouija board movie.

Tendrás una jacket bates que me vendas?Cada vez que me pongo mi Bates con cremallera diagonal, recuerdo que las réplicas son buenas, las originales son mejores, pero Bates es sin duda la mejor. Tuve tres modelos diferentes, todavía conservo uno, y cada uno era el mejor en su categoría.

I had wanted a Bates for a long time and bought a beautiful vintage jacket that is just about perfect for me. If there were something to be aware of it's that some of their older models have a zipper that starts about 3" or more from the hem. That works great for when you're sitting down but if you're just walking around in more modern cut shirt and pants the lower rise of commonly available jeans stops prior to that zipper.
That means that as you walk around there's a distracting flash of shirt color from the top of your pants button clasp to the bottom of that zipper. I like everything about the jacket but if I'm just strolling around it must be unzipped.
