Vintage NYPD Black Horsehide Leather Motorcycle Jacket by Miklos Sas

Description: Handmade 1960s-70s City of New York Police Department patrolman's black horsehide leather jacket, by the leading NYC post-war leather worker, Miklos Sas. I am 38” chest, 5ft 11", 175 lbs and normally wear a size 40 jacket, and this fits me fairly well, even with a hoodie or other light layer underneath. Black horsehide leather body is tough and heavy, designed to withstand a knife attack. Thick black satin lining. Heavy duty two-directional steel “Talon” zip. Adjustable slits at side of waist to ease access to pistol and duty belt, also for comfort when riding a motorcycle. Two eyelets on the chest for patrolman’s badge. Riveted steel chain hanger. Woven “Miklos Sas” label. Ornamental (non-functioning) epaulettes and chest pocket flaps, with brass-colored buttons showing New York insignia. Two wide and deep internal pockets with snap closure, plus a useful pen pocket. Jacket can take a zip-in winter fleece liner, but is not included. Condition is very good/excellent with no real problems that I can see. I am an experienced biker, and this is possibly the best designed and most practical leather jacket I have ever owned. The heavy duty horsehide is like armour and perfect for motorcycle riding, but equally awesome to complete an authentic "rocker" look. The two inner pockets are huge. These are the measurements below (also pictured). chest, armpit to armpit: 19"arms, down top edge: 23.5" (straight)back, from base of collar: 26.5"shoulders, straight across top back: 18.5”All measurements taken with garment fastened, laid flat, and with a cloth tape (not metal).
