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 no label black leather jacket that is approximately from the 1980's. It is marked a size small and measures 19" from armpit to armpit, 19" across the waist, and 26" from top of the back of the collar to the bottom. The zippers are blank of branding and they all work perfectly. It has a black quilted nylon lining and is made of a very lightweight and soft black leather. There are rounded circular studs on each lapel and epaulet as well as the collar. On the back, more of the same studding occurs on the shoulders and along the bottom. The word "HITMAN" is emblazoned across the upper part of the back in leather that has been sewn on. Below this, is a unique red and white design that lends a greater mystery to whoever "HITMAN" was or will be...
