1950s Hercules by Sears Black Leather Jacket - 40 - RARE
50s HERCULES BY SEARS LEATHER BIKER JACKET - coveted collector’s piece.
DISCLAIMER: I bought this for myself in Brooklyn this summer after searching for this very jacket for a while. I bought even though it’s oversized, but after wearing around the house, it’s just bigger than I’d like and am now searching again… I paid $900 (have receipt) so I’m asking $900. 😎

Lining (if applicable):thigh warm quilted red material with corduroy trim

Sleeve: pit to cuff: 17

Decade (based of care tags and research, not a guarantee): 50s

All sales are final. No returns or exchanges. So please ask all questions prior to purchasing.
EXPECTATIONS OF VINTAGE
Keep in mind, vintage pieces are not new pieces. Every piece is at least 20 years old, most are older. This means they’ve been worn and likely have signs of wear - i.e. thinning areas, loose threads, signs of previous repair work, discolorations, faint (or not so faint stains), organic distressing, wear at the rivets, wear at the button holes. I do my best to describe these areas/signs of wear&tear, so please - before you buy - understand that you may receive your item and there will be signs of aging. Most buy vintage wanting this, but if you want pristine new looking clothing, vintage likely isn’t for you. And that’s A-OK!
