Vtg 1940s Harley-Davidson Cycle Champ Motorcycle Leather Jacket (XS/S)

Vtg 1940s Harley-Davidson Cycle Champ Motorcycle Leather Jacket (XS/S)

Item: Vintage Harley-Davidson Cycle Champ Motorcycle Leather Jacket
Era:  Late 1940s (circa 1947–1950)
Material: Heavyweight horsehide leather with flannel lining 
Color: Black 
Condition: Good 
Size: XS / S

Additional Information:
This is an original late 1940s Cycle Champ, the most iconic motorcycle jacket ever produced by Harley-Davidson. Introduced around 1947, the Cycle Champ set the standard for post-war American biker jackets and remains the brand’s most sought-after leather silhouette. This first-version example is distinguished by its narrow black-and-yellow Harley-Davidson label, plaid flannel lining, and topstitched waistband with snap-open belt loops. Notably, it retains its original belt, an increasingly rare detail that significantly enhances collectability. A true museum grade piece, this jacket represents the very beginning of Harley-Davidson’s leather jacket legacy and stands as a cornerstone for any serious vintage or motorcycle wear collection.

Measurements: 

Shoulders 42 cm / 16.5" 
Chest 48 cm / 19" 
Sleeves 64 cm / 25" 
Back 53 cm / 21"
