Rare find in this condition with just a few minor scuff marks as shown and one front pocket zipper that will need to be fixed. These minor flaws are shown in the pictures.
This is an authentic vintage 1970s AMF-era Harley-Davidson single-rider cafe racer motorcycle jacket in a men’s size 42, likely manufactured between 1974 and 1981. It is crafted from a heavy duty genuine leather in a rich dark brown colorway, delivering a timeless aerodynamic design.
The minimalist silhouette features the classic black-and-white horizontal block neck label, a clean straight center zipper, a stand-up mandarin band collar with a secure snap-tab wind closure, and distinct zippered horizontal chest pockets characteristic of the AMF production era.
The jacket is engineered for authentic riding functionality with a premium ergonomic bi-swing action back panel configuration that maximizes shoulder reach and flexibility. It includes zippered cuffs for an adjustable windproof fit over gloves and structured western-style shoulder yoke seams highlighted by heavy, orange-tinted contrast structural stitching typical of 1970s factory work. The interior is fully lined with a smooth dark brown satin fabric to ensure easy layering over heavy shirts or seasonal sweatshirts.
The garment is in excellent overall structural condition, exhibiting an authentic vintage character with minor surface scuffs on the lower right back hem and the zippered cuff area and a the dark brown top finish. This classic jacket is in outstanding condition.
The thick leather grain in these spots remains physically strong, pliable, and completely intact with no deep cuts, punctures, or open tears in the hide. All original heavy-duty stitching running along the sleeve panels, lower hem, and pocket tracks remains tight, secure, and unfrayed with all heavy metal zippers operating smoothly.
This is a highly collectible piece of classic American motorcycle apparel that is perfect for any transport enthusiast, rider, or vintage fashion collector looking for that sleek 1970s profile. The true-to-size 42 fit offers a comfortable, accommodating cut with plenty of room for layered seasonal wear.
