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'Wilson's' brand black leather jacket that was made in the U.S.A. It is approximately from the late 70's or early 80's. It is approximately a size 42 and has a polyester quilted lining that has a few rips. The zipper brand is YKK and all zippers work perfectly. It has a 'U.S.' pin on the right lapel. The main zip pull has worn into a bronze-copper color. This jacket is nice and broken in and has rad scuffing and abrasion throughout. As an added bonus, it was found with a front key pocket-full of fuses which the next owner shall inherit for good luck.
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. |
