The unmistakable clean lines of a classic '50s-style Cafe Racer jacket. Worn by Enfield, BSA, Triumph, Harley and CB 400 Four riders alike.

Good for a night out with friends, too. Beautifully cut with a huge one piece back no seams, no tiny little pieces puzzled together to save leather. Big generous front panels too. This jacket is cut and built in the old way, which would be called uneconomic today, but we call No Compromises. Full-size 2" wide half belts sewn into the side seams, with a big polished nickel-plated solid brass buckle to keep the waist snug. Available in both competition-weight and medium-weight cowhide. With zippered hand pockets, a zippered glove pocket, even a snap-close cigarette/ cellphone pocket, and classic chrome hardware throughout. Hand built in America. Destined to become a prized heirloom. In a word, Thunderbird!
