Vtg 30s Horsehide Police Jacket 40S Motorcycle Biker Pre-WWII Leather California

Description: untitled Vtg 30s Horsehide Police Jacket 40S Motorcycle Biker Pre-WWII Leather California This is a beautiful vintage horsehide motorcycle police jacket from the late 30s or early 40s. Overall, this jacket is in good used condition with the one notable exception that the leather is very dry and stiff. I want to emphasize that the leather WILL respond to Neats Foot Oil and soften up nicely. It's not to the point where it's brittle, but it is pretty stiff. I didn't want to oil it myself because I think the patina and overall look of this piece is exceptional. The original color was a dark brown, and the pattern of wear is really nice. All of the original zippers are in working condition. The main, front Conmar zipper is a little stiff. Also, as you can see, the acetate liner is worn through at the pockets area. The pockets themselves are still fine. This jacket fits me like a 40 or 41 and is a little short on me(both at the waist and and the sleeves). I think it would probably best fit someone 5'9 or so. Be sure to check the measurements below. Please email me if you have any questions or need more pictures. Thanks BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS MEASUREMENTS!!! SIZE 40Short ARMPIT TO ARMPIT(measured along the outside) 22" SHOULDER TO SHOULDER 17.5" SLEEVE LENGTH 24.25" LENGTH(measured along the backside) 21.75" IMPORTANT!!! I strive to receive 5/5!!! I do not charge any handling fees. You only pay the cost of the actual shipping. If I could afford to offer free shipping I would, but most of my profits are small and I really just can't swing it. Unfortunately, because of ebay's new Detailed Seller Ratings system, a 5=A and a 4=F. I say this because even though you may think you're giving me a "Good" score, if I or any other seller just receives 4s we will be thrown off of ebay. That's they're new system. I really do strive to give each of my customers the best service possible, but also, I specialize in selling rare, unusual and hard to find items. The very items that helped build ebay into the empire that it is. When all of us little sellers are gone there's going to be nothing left to buy on ebay but a bunch of Buy.com overstock. Many of my items only wind up costing $6.80 to ship. Heavier items will cost more. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS do need to realize that the USPS calculator is often inaccurate with international shipping rates. So I do sometimes add a couple of dollars to the cost to cover myself. I guarantee everything I sell. If I make a mistake I will always give you a full refund. Please do not bid unless you intend to buy this item!!! I will ship internationally, but I will not falsify documents so as to help you avoid customs!!! I accept Paypal. All items are guaranteed to be as described, if I have made a mistake I will gladly refund your money, minus the cost of shipping. However, I go to great lengths to provide correct measurements and nice big pictures of every detail. it is your responsibility as a buyer to ask any and all questions prior to placing a bid. If you fail to do so, or the piece doesn't fit properly, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do. I usually ship upon payment via USPS. You, as the buyer, are responsible for the cost of shipping. IIf I can find a box that will work to safely ship your item I will pass the savings on to you. I strongly suggest you also insure your purchase as I cannot be responsible for damage or loss through shipping. If you require special arrangements or shipping through UPS, please allow additional time. Also, I charge a $10 handling fee for UPS shipping, i charge this fee because i do not want to ship via UPS. The only exception to this would be when I'm selling a heavier item which must be shipped via UPS. In that case it will be specifically stated in the auction description. I almost always leave positive feedback, unless there's some extreme problem. However, I sometimes don't get around to leaving the feedback for a week or so. Please be patient. Please email me if you have any questions. Here's a link...
