Vintage Jackets

afternoon all,
just wondering if anybody knows of any shops in the london area that sell vintage / classic leather jackets? i've spent days googling around for stuff and trailed ebay but i don't really want to buy online as 'standard' sizes never fit me - i always need to try stuff on. All the bike shops i've been to only stock modern leathers so i guess i'm looking second hand.
anyone any ideas?

Re: Vintage Jackets

How about thinking outside the box by trying oxfam, help the aged and those sort charity shops?


Some time's my mind doesn't only wander, it leaves completely ...........

Re: Vintage Jackets

Car boot sales and bike jumbles are where I would be looking

Re: Vintage Jackets

I found an old (not vintage) leather jacket in the cupboard, i have been wearing it on my honda cg 125 ever since i found it. I love wearing it, it really suites the bike just right.
