Re: Cafe Racer Indy

Castor, No offense taken :) I've also thought there plenty of great cafe racer jacket styles. I have 6 cafe racers but they all tend to be the same in the back.

I love the style but these jackets are heavy and made for wearing while riding. I've been searching for an old thread that, if I may correctly, someone had asked Wested to mak...
