Levi’s Vintage Clothing x Aero Leathers’Bird of Prey’ 1930’s horsehide leather Motorcycle Jacket. Tag size large, fits like a relaxed medium or fitted large. Tag size’regular’ (medium) fits like a relaxed small or fitted medium. Rare and Highly sought after early piece made by master leather jacket crafters, Aero Leathers–in Scotland–for Levi’s Vintage Clothing, in very limited quantities in 2003. This is a faithful reproduction of a 1930’s horsehide leather motorcycle jacket in Levi’s archives. This particular Jacket is expertly crafted of thick horsehide, lined with cotton tartan plaid. This is an excellent motorcycle jacket, both functionally with its thick robust horsehide leather and aesthetically, with its faithful era-specific styling and details, and stencil painted’thunderbird’ design on the back. It was made in two very limited varieties: a brown horsehide version and a black horsehide version. This is the black horsehide version made with Aero Leather’s’Vintage’ Black Horsehide Leather which Aero began to stock for their collaborative production with LVC, and have since continued to stock and use on their own jackets. This leather was initially regarded as being more expensive than what Aero would normally use on their own line of jackets but they were able to bring it in because LVC was, at the time, willing to shell out the costs for the best quality horsehide. Aside from the beautiful grain-rich, thick, heavy horsehide, the jacket also features a 100% cotton, tartan-plaid liner, and period correct talon zipper. This is one of LVCs finest releases, and very hard to come by. I have heard that the painted thunderbird design can be removed by using dark leather wax, but I prefer the painted design as it compliments the jacket, making it even more unique. More on fit: These jackets run small. The size regular (medium), fits like a fitted medium, noticeably snug at the shoulders but still provides comfortable ease of movement given the large arm holes. Please refer to measurements. Pit to pit: 21-3/4. Length down back: 23-1/2. Length down front: 25. Arm holes (measured from pit seam to shoulder seam): 11.
