The black leather jacket has always been the uniform of the bad, the rebellious and the outsider. The Hell's 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 jacket's overall personality, like a junk yard dog compared 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 blank black labeled black leather jacket that is approximately from the 1980's. It is marked a size 38 and measures 21" from armpit to armpit, 19" across the waist, and 22" from top of the back of the collar to the bottom. The zipper brand is YKK and all zippers work perfectly. It has a black quilted nylon lining and one inside pocket. Each epaulet has five pyramid studs and the right lapel brandishes one stud in a brash, customized flourish. The main zipper has a paperclip as the pull tab. Sick and singular one of a kind fashion, sense of humor free of charge.
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. |
