Vintage 1980s Black Motorcycle Jacket
Item: I bought this vintage leather jacket on eBay last year, along with 4 others, in search of the perfect leather jacket for layering. As pictured, this is a Youth's size 3XL, which fits me pretty well (I'm a size 4), when going for the shrunken leather jacket look (3/4 sleeves and cropped waist). It's real leather that is thick and needs to be worn-in a bit. It's lined in quilted material, which makes it nice and warm, has functioning, heavy-duty zippers, buckles and snaps, pockets on the inside of the chest as well as zippered hand warmer pockets and a snap key pocket on the outside. This jacket also features a cool feather patch on the left shoulder, which I considered taking off the jacket and keeping before listing it here. ;0)
Why I'm getting rid of it: I'm 5'6", and while I fit this jacket, I feel like I'm a little too tall and long-armed for it, and my wardrobe wasn't right for the fit. I think it would be best on someone proportioned a little more on the petite side, who wears cute high waisted skirts and belted dresses, etc. I'm more of a skinny jeans and long layered tunics and sweaters-type. I ended up finding the perfect leather jacket for me (not a vintage one, after all) that has longer sleeves and is a little longer in the body.
Asking: $50, including shipping anywhere in the U.S.
Listing ends: Sunday, Feb. 20. Please leave a comment if interested, and email me at dlittlegarden{at}yahoo{dot}com with specific questions.
Thanks!
