80s Women's Jacket Motorcycle North Beach Leather Black Vintage Moto Small to Medium VFG
An amazing vintage jacket, with classic biker elements interpreted for high style 80s, with a whiff of both Mad Max and Thriller inspiration! Motorcycle elements include the wrap front with diagonal zipper, cropped and fitted body, epaulettes, zippered pockets, and fitted lower sleeves with zippered gussets for ease. Because this is 80s North Beach, you also get padded shoulder and batwing sleeves, side seam corset-style leather ties, padded and stitched applique details at the front and back waist, and decorative "arrow" accents at each end of the smaller zippers.
SIZE: Labeled 5/6. Waist measurements reflect corset lacing at its tightest/loosest

I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
