Vintage 50s Belted Leather Harley Davidson Style Biker Jacket - S

Since the end of WW2 nothing gave returning soldiers more freedom than getting on a motorcycle, donning a leather jacket and letting the road give them the thrills that were missing in civilian life. The 1950s gave rise to the motorcycle gang culture, heralded in by the classic Marlon Brando film The Wild Ones. Here is where the leather jacket cemented itself as the leader of anti-establishment and rebel wear and has ever since. 

This leather jacket is very similar to the mid-1950's Harley Davidson models, right down to the large patch pocket, unfortunately, no maker is present on this jacket. Details include Talon zippers and 8-ball chains to all pockets and cuff zips. The leather is still very strong but with the right care will be an easy restoration fix.

Jacket overall is in very good condition with slight marks to the inner lining. There is a waist belt present but this looks to be a WW2 military replacement. 

A real piece of motorcycle leather from the golden age of grease and oil!
