Up for sale is a stunning example of mid-century American craftsmanship. This 1960s/70s Cafe Racer features the heavy-duty construction and slim silhouette that defined the era. While the main manufacturer label is no longer present, the specific "Lot/Size 38" paper tag and the "R. Sherman" Newark, NJ cleaner's label point to a high-end East Coast maker, consistent with the patterns used by Schott NYC or Brooks during this period.
Key Features:
• Era: Circa 1960s–1970s.
• Origin: Proudly Made in the USA.
• Hardware: Equipped with rare, industrial-grade Westex zippers on the pockets and sleeves, providing the same durability as period-correct Talon or Scovill hardware.

• Condition: Excellent vintage patina. The leather is thick and supple with no major structural damage.
• Provenance: Includes the original "R. Sherman Leather Cleaners" care tag from Newark, NJ, adding a unique layer of historical authenticity.
