Vintage 1930s cycling jacket by Holdsworth's Beckenham

[Flat Foot Floey]

I think I've mentioned this jacket somewhere but apparently it hasn't sold yet. I think it's kinda rare since haven't come across "cycling jackets" very often. It seems to be on the short side but I imagine this is just a sporty style so it won't get in the way while cycling. Soft construction and belted back.

i've never seen anything quite like this jacket, with the specifically cycling label. could even be 20s. shame that the back doesn't have any pleats in it.

Me neither. But I linked this blog in the "on yer bike" thread and it seems as if they were wearing similar unstructured jackets.

I'd have thought maybe twenties too, given how high up the buttons close, shortness, and overall shape, but I don't claim any authority on that. Looks like a nice Summer jacket.

Jill's after $200 for it.
