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 an unmarked brand black 'cafe racer' style leather jacket. It is approximately from the mid to late 80's or early 90's. It is marked a size 40 and has a black polyester lining. The zipper brand is YKK and all zippers work perfectly. The inside left and right sides of the main zipper have stash pockets and there are silver snap studs on the outside of the inner wrists (we have no idea what these were for, but they look pretty cool). It measures 21" from armpit to armpit, 19.5" across the bottom, and 26" from the top of the back collar to the bottom. This jacket is nice and broken in so it is soft yet very sturdy and ready for another decade or two of use.

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.
