Vintage Herm’s Leathertogs steerhide motorcycle jacket, made in Easton, Pennsylvania.
Believed to date to the late 1950s–1960s golden era of American motorcycle gear.
This is a true vintage café racer style jacket constructed from heavy steerhide leather with original period hardware. The leather has been worn in beautifully over time and is now exceptionally soft, supple, and very wearable. It shows the kind of natural patina and character only achieved through decades of real use and careful storage.
This jacket was clearly worn and enjoyed for riding and has aged into that perfect broken-in feel collectors look for. A light professional leather conditioning or cleaning would only enhance what is already a fantastic vintage piece, but it presents very well exactly as it is and has been left in honest vintage condition.
Interior lining shows visible discoloration and wear from age and use. This is purely cosmetic and consistent with a genuine mid-century riding jacket. No attempts have been made to clean or alter the lining so the next owner may choose their preferred method of preservation. See photos
All visible hardware appears original, including the period-correct Scovill metal zipper assembly. Zippers function smoothly and as intended. Zippers function properly. Leather remains strong, flexible, and structurally sound with no major issues observed. This is not a new jacket and is not being represented as such — it is an authentic vintage piece with real history and character.
