Vintage Hein Gericke Harley Style Leather Motorcycle Jacket Sz 40 MEDIUM

Description

WHAT A RARE FIND!!
Vintage
Harley Davidson Style
and let me be CLEAR,
This jacket does NOT have a tag in it that says Harley Davidson....
SOME Hein Gericke Jackets DO have a Harley Davidson label in them!
IN FACT,
I have one of those listed right now on eBay, in a Size 46,
and you can see that one in another listing.
THIS ONE is just as nice
BUT, NO HARLEY LABEL
Leather Jacket
by
Hein Gericke
LOOK AT THIS!
You may NEVER find another!
(And if you DO, what are the chances it will be in one of the HARDEST TO FIND sizes.....40 (Men's Medium
)
PLEASE NOTE:
UNLIKE MY MANY OTHER SIZE LARGE MOTORCYCLE JACKETS
THIS ONE IS A SIZE 40,
WHICH TRANSLATES TO A MEN'S SIZE MEDIUM
This a TRUE VINTAGE FIND!
Anyone who has been riding a long time,
knows these old Hein Gericke jackets,
,
(LIKE THIS ONE)
were of the highest quality leather and made to exacting standards!
This IS an old, vintage, well loved jacket, and has character,
but no "damage" like rips or tears
so it still presents wonderfully and you will be very proud to wear it!
I see no flaws to speak of but like always
I ask that you take a good look at all the pics and judge for yourself,
as you should when buying ANY
vintage
clothing item.
It isn't "brand new from the factory" so a good inspection is always critical.
Here's the deal, and how it came to be!
Years ago, I was (and still am!) the luckiest guy in the world!
I found the PERFECT WIFE!
She loved me and all the things I love!
And that included RIDING!!
We rode our Harley Ultra-Glide EVERYWHERE together!!
Whenever we crossed into another state on a road trip, we would buy a new jacket!
Yes, I know!
Most riders buy a T-Shirt. (And sometimes we did!)
But my wife loved leather, so every time we found a new town with a Harley shop,
another jacket was added to her collection!!
(And I admit, sometimes I even bought one for myself!)
Sadly,
Due to advancing years and health issues,
our riding days are behind us, for good.
So we have picked our a couple of jackets as keepsakes to remember those awesome road trips!
BUT...
The VAST majority of our collections is going to be listed for sale here!!
MOST of these jackets look almost new!
MANY were NEVER worn more than one time!!!
SOME were indeed worn more,
(like THIS one!)
and if so we will be sure to point that out in the listing.
I DO ASK, RESPECTFULLY,
that you consider the pics to be our
description
of condition.
We feel the old saying,
"One picture is worth a thousand words"
IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!
So look over the pics carefully!!
If we know of a flaw we will be careful to point it out!
If we miss something in the
description
though, it should show up in the
pictures
.
WE WILL NEVER EVER
DELIBERATELY
HIDE ANYTHING!!
All this said, PLEASE, ask questions BEFORE bidding!!
AS TO FIT:
There is a good "RULE OF THUMB" that applies to MEN'S Harley jackets!
I wear a Size Large (L) Harley Jacket.
I am 6 feet tall, about 185 pounds, with a 34 inch sleeve in shirts and a size 34 jeans,
and a Size Large in Harley Jackets fits me perfectly EVERY  time!
BUT THIS IS NOT A STANDARD HARLEY JACKET.
It is sized differently.
It's marked Size 40,
which translates on a chart I saw to an approx. Men's Medium
(I bought this for my son before he grew into the 6'7" 300lb monster he is today!)
ANYWAY!
This is an
exception
to what I will be offering....
almost every one of my Men's jackets I will be listing will be a Harley Size Large
OR
if it was my wife's, a Women's Size Extra Large
THIS ONE IS A MEN'S SIZE 40....
BETTER SUITED TO A GUY WHO TYPICALLY WEARS A MEDIUM!
Be sure to check out our other auctions now and in the weeks to come!
We will be listing
DOZENS of MEN'S SIZE LARGE
and
DOZENS OF WOMEN'S SIZE EXTRA LARGE
All Harley Brand Jackets,
ALL at awesome prices!!
