This is an incredible and very rare genuine vintage 1960s big E 71205-0217 type 3 trucker denim jacket customised back in the day with incredible hand embroidered (in wool) back logo from the homburg motorcyclists club and a superb collection of 60s travel patches from all over Europe alongside period motorcycle patches and metal badges.
Features include big E red tab, early styling with no side pockets, 3 digit button stamp (525), orange stitch throughout, small sized neck patch, non bar-tacked front pockets & side cinches all pinpointing it to late 1960s (most probably 1969)
It has stunning wear & perfect whispering & fades but unusually for a jacket of this age it still retains a beautiful dark colouring.
This would best fit up to a size small 38” chest
