Up for auction is a very nice 1960s Bates Cafe Leather Jacket in a very light cream color. I just purchased my fourth Bates jacket today and this one is a bit small in the sleeves so it has to go. Before you start freaking out on the color as white Bates jacket are extremely rare, please read on carefully. I do not know whether it was done back in the day or recently but this jacket has been RE-DYED. Though the color and patina are amazing I would consider this jacket to be for someone who wants it as a rider, to wear on that panhead, knucklehead, or triumph vintage motorcycle. Every other aspect of this jacket is original, down to the grey satin liner, dual Conmar main zippers and Conomatic sleeve zippers. Slash breast pockets bear the Conmar "O". All zippers function very well. Jacket is a 40M or (Medium) (Bates made an S, M, L, and LL). Jacket measurements are as follows: Back of collar to waist hem: 27", Shoulder seam to shoulder seam: 17.5", Underarm to underam: 20", and Shoulder seam to tip of sleeve cuff: 24". Auction is only for the jacket and I have a pair of Bates pants with a very pale yellow stripe shown for color comparison as I wanted to show that this jacket is lighter in color, closer to cream, but not a bright white. Silver cross on main zipper pull is not included with the jacket as I just didn't want to take it
