1970s Vintage Lewis Leather Cyclone Jacket in Rare Blue

1 / 1

Description

This is a 70s vintage Lewis Leather Cyclone in blue. Among the rare colored leathers from the 1970s, this blue version is by far the most popular and sought after. I acquired it from a collector a few years ago. It seems that items like this rarely circulate in the market, let alone at auction. The condition is good, with some wear visible on the left elbow part (as seen in the 7th image), likely repaired with color matched by the original owner. There are only minor scuffs elsewhere, with no serious damage. The liner is black knit nylon, which I suspect has been replaced. Other zippers are functioning well with no issues. Items in such a worn state are seldom seen, but I believe that this condition being offered is likely a one-off opportunity for future listings.
The following measurements were taken flat by an amateur.
Length: approximately 61 cm, shoulder width: approximately 50 cm, chest width: approximately 55 cm, sleeve length: approximately 60 cm. Please accept minor discrepancies.
There is no size label, but it measures about a 40 or 42 in a comfortably loose golden size. The availability of Lewis pieces from the 70s is dwindling, and colored leather variants are even rarer, especially in popular blue, with large sizes being almost nonexistent. Since acquiring this jacket, I have refrained from wearing it outside due to its value. For those who want to wear it as their active outfit, or for collectors, I strongly encourage you to consider this opportunity.

Collector Commentary

The 1970s Lewis Leather Cyclone jacket in this rare blue variant embodies a unique piece of fashion history, reflecting Japan's eclectic style evolution during this era. As colored leather jackets are increasingly hard to find, collectors often seek out such distinctive choices, with the blue version standing out for both its aesthetic and rarity. The jacket's good condition, marked by minor wear and a potential elbow repair, highlights its age while still being suitable for both collectors and wearers, a rarely available factor in the current market. Given the diminishing availability of 1970s Lewis Leather items, this piece represents an important opportunity for enthusiasts of vintage fashion from Japan.
