1980s | Santa Fe | Western Fringe Leather Biker Jacket | Brown - L

Description:

Item: Original 1980s Santa Fe leather biker jacket in rich brown with western fringe detailing. Classic asymmetric zip design with broad lapels, zipped handwarmer pockets, waist belt and heavy fringe across the chest and shoulders. Strong boxy cut with a short, broad-shouldered silhouette that gives it that proper crossover between biker jacket and western wear.

Era: 1980s

Brand: Santa Fe

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Leather presents well with rich colour, natural variation and honest wear that gives it exactly the right aged character. Fringe, belt and hardware all appear present, and the jacket retains a strong, weighty shape. Honest use adds character in exactly the way people want on a piece like this.

Provenance Note: This is the kind of jacket that stops people in their tracks because it brings together two strong worlds at once, hard-edged biker shape and full western fringe styling. The result is pure 1980s excess in the best possible way, with real attitude, movement and visual punch. A seriously characterful leather piece that stands well above an ordinary biker jacket and has the kind of presence collectors and stylists both look for.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, bulk, or layering.
