Just wondering if anyone has one of these jackets .. what you think of it , and if they are still available in your neck of the woods ? Not had any luck with search for reviews or finding one for sale. Any help/advice be appreciated
 
The original 50's ones were made by levi's and depending on condition can get up to about $800 US if a real original in perfect nik.

Triumph re released the a few years back and arguably better for riding but had triumph stamped all over it.

don't know who makes these but they are calling them t bird's

if you aren't stressed about authenticity id get Mars Leather in Elizabeth Street to make you one.

Silly bugger in your top link got the pics the wrong way round!

Did you notice that too? The mens jacket has got tits and hips and the womens has got a space for lats and a pot. Those yankees sure are different!
