Vintage/old leather gear.


Recommended Posts

I'll describe how each fits me so you can get an idea.  I'm almost 6' with a 33-34" waist.  I have no idea how to price this stuff, let me know what's reasonable.

 

Two piece suit, zips together.  I bought it at a yard sale way back, guessing mid '90s, and later had a leather guy recondition it.  Fits me pretty well, maybe a little short, but it works.  I assume it's women's, the zipper is on the wrong side.  Thunderwear brand, marked size 54, fits about like a 42 men's.  Been sitting unused in the closet around 10 years, probably more.  There's just a little extra room in the waist, fairly roomy in the hips/ass for bending over.

Pants only, pretty old.  I got them used many years ago.  They're quite snug in the waist and pretty short for my legs.  No tag I can find.

Marked size 42.  No brand label, marked "sample" on the inside.  Got it from a friend many years ago.  Fits me well.  It has both halves of a zipper around the bottom to attach to pants if desired.  Zipper pull tabs are missing on the main zipper, front vents, and one sleeve.  Road rash in close up photo.

Fits me well.  The leather is stiffer than all the others.  I don't know if it just needs conditioning or it was an up tight cow.  Removable Thinsulate liner.

Size 42 long.  Fits me well, feels like an old friend...I got it new, guessing early 80's.  I'm tempted to keep it, not totally sure.

Probably European.  I bought a regular jacket and when trying it on wondered if it was a woman's jacket because the zipper was on the left.  Come to find out that is normal for jackets over here.  I think the fact that it is marked size 54 also indicates it is for the European market.

Thanks, that makes more sense.

The jacket marked "sample" is made by First Gear. I had one for years, really well made. The owners then created "Scorpion" whose helmet I've had for years now.
