Rare Vintage Beck Motorcycle Jacket 1950s_all Original With Shoulder Stars on 2040-parts.com

This rare Beck one star motorcycle jacket was purchased by my father while we lived in Los Angeles during the early 1950's. It has only been worn a few times. He bought the jacket between 1948 and 1954. We moved to Fresno in 1956 and he stopped riding soon after. The jacket has very little in the area of "wear" signs. There are no heavy creases in the leather and it appears new. There are no scuffs, scratches or stains to the leather. There are no snags or stains in the satin quilted liner. There does appear to be some loss in the leather coloring on the two straps on the lower front of the jacket. This is sown on the last picture. The original sizing tag is still stapled inside the jacket. If he had worn it much, it would have come off with use. The label in the collar is an early 50's label and unusual in design. It is quite different from most Beck labels that are usually seen. It has a graphic cartoon style design depicting a country scene featuring a WWII era motorcycle and airplane. The text says "Northeastern Flying Togs. BECK". It is a size 44 in EXCELLENT condition. All zippers, snaps, stars, label, etc. are original. There is nothing missing. All zippers work and snaps work as they were originally intended. The measurements are as follows. But, everyone has a different way of measuring so the "exactness" may vary some from one description to another. The chest, from one underarm seam to the other, measures 44". The shoulders across the back measures about 19" WITHOUT the pleats expanded. The back measures 25 1/2" down the center back from the collar seam to the bottom of the jacket. The sleeve measures 24" from the shoulder seam down the arm to the cuff edge. As the jacket has a slight taper to the body, the body below the chest measures 42" around.
