The black leather jacket has always been the uniform of the bad, the rebellious and the outsider. The Hells Angels, the Black Panthers, punks, goths, metalheads, gay bar cruisers, and many of rock and roll's non-conformist icons all brandished, at one time or another, the black leather jacket. Whether for protective or fashionable reasons, the effect is as menacing as it is stylish.
Blackbird now has a selection of hand-selected vintage motorcycle and aviator leather jackets for the outsider in us all. Broken in leather, beat-up patina, fierce attitude, and sartorial swagger all rolled into one item. These jackets are sold as-is and a few of them have hand-sewn repair work, customized details, or flaws that are minimal and that, when compared to a new leather, simply add to the jackets overall personality, like a junk yard dog standing next to a well-groomed poodle. All of the main zippers work and all are completely wearable and have quite a bit of life left in them.
This jacket is a 'Gino' brand black leather jacket. It is approximately from the late 70's or early to mid 80's. It is approximately a size 40 and has a quilted polyester lining. The zipper brand is YKK and all zippers work perfectly. The inside left side of the main zipper has a stash pocket and there is an inner left chest pocket. It measures 21" from armpit to armpit, 21" across the bottom, and 26" from the top of the back collar to the bottom. This jacket has a very punk rock/heavy metal look to it, not unlike the Ramones or the Sex Pistols.
Sizing is as exact as possible and it is best to come in and try them on or call our store or web customer service to get accurate measurements. All Blackbird vintage items are final sale. |
