The interior label reads \u003cem\u003eRedskins Garment \u0026amp; Accessories, Original Fabrics, Riders, On The Road Again\u003c\/em\u003e, centred on a V-twin engine graphic that makes its purpose clear. The Redskins Motors name is embroidered directly into the leather on the left chest, stitched into the hide itself rather than applied. The leather is buffalo hide. This is the motorcycle jacket that sub-line was made for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe front closes on a centre zip with a Liru pull, running up to a high collar with a snap-close storm tab. The right chest carries a double pocket construction, with a horizontal zip pocket above and a vertical zip pocket set directly below within the same raised panel, giving both a map pocket and secondary storage within easy reach. A vertical slash pocket sits to the left chest beneath the embroidered panel. The sleeves are fitted with full-length outer zips running from shoulder to cuff, allowing the jacket to be worn over riding gear without removing gloves. The waist carries a broad separate belt with multiple eyelets, a keeper loop and a substantial rectangular Redskins-branded buckle. Two further zip pockets sit at the lower front. The layout is deliberate throughout, built for practical use rather than appearance alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe zip pulls are not all matching. Over time, individual pulls have been replaced as needed, each one slightly different. It is the kind of detail that speaks to a jacket that has been used and maintained rather than set aside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe lining is a Royal Stewart tartan in red, navy and yellow, bright and clean, and in excellent condition throughout. The sleeve lining is black quilted nylon. The contrast between the heavily worn exterior and the vivid interior is particularly strong on this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe leather is buffalo hide, heavy and substantial, and it presents with pronounced variation across the jacket. Buffalo hide is naturally less uniform than cowhide, and long use has drawn that variation out fully. Areas of exposure such as the shoulders, collar, yoke and sleeve heads have worn back to a lighter, drier tone while the more protected lower panels, pocket surfaces and belt retain their original depth and firmness. The back yoke shows the transition at its most dramatic, the upper panel lightened to a warm mid-brown, the body below still dark and deep. Across the front the chest panels shift between tones depending on the light. In the protected areas the original grain of the hide is still clearly visible, open and characterful, firm and strong to the hand. Some areas remain supple while others are dense and unyielding, this is the nature of buffalo hide and the mark of a jacket that has lived. It has been cleaned and treated in house with our heritage workshop conditioner to support the leather without altering its surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAll zips function. The belt is present and complete. The structure is sound throughout with all seams secure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEarly 1990s Redskins Riders motorcycle jacket, Territoire Redskins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBuffalo hide, heavy and firm with spectacular natural patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRedskins Riders label present and legible, V-twin engine graphic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRedskins Motors embroidery to left chest panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCentre front zip with Liru-marked pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHigh collar with snap-close storm tab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDouble right chest pocket, horizontal zip and vertical zip within raised panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLeft chest vertical slash pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFull-length outer sleeve zips from shoulder to cuff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSeparate waist belt with eyelets, keeper loop and branded buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTwo lower front zip pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMixed zip pulls, replaced over time, all functional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRoyal Stewart tartan body lining in excellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlack quilted nylon sleeve lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePronounced tonal variation across shoulders, yoke and panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOriginal grain visible and strong in protected areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBelt present and functioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAll zips functional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStructure sound throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCleaned and treated with heritage workshop conditioner in house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarment Measurements (Laid Flat)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eChest (armpit to armpit): 24.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eShoulders (seam to seam): 21.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSleeve length (underarm to cuff): 16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSleeve length (shoulder seam to cuff): 23.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBack length (collar seam to hem): 28.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBest suited to a 46\" chest with a shorter arm length.
