A thickness in millimetres, and a seam that has to hold · review
A café racer jacket in genuine lambskin with a vintage distressed finish, metal front and cuff zips and a zipped chest pocket. No armour or standard is cited.
The bottom line A fashion jacket in a riding family, sold on its finish. The lambskin is named and its thickness is not, and there is no armour anywhere in the listing.
Genuine lambskin, a vintage distressed finish, a metal front zip, a zipped chest pocket and zipped cuffs.
No hide thickness — the figure that makes leather comparable. No armour and no armour pockets. No garment standard.
The bullets describe aesthetics: retro, vintage, café racer. That is what the jacket is sold on, and this page records it rather than reading protection into it.
Zipped cuffs. A sleeve that can be closed at the wrist stops flapping at speed and keeps a glove cuff in place. It is a small thing and it is published.
Between 119 € and 132 € across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores, in the single reading behind this page.
Priced in local currency, which the euro range above deliberately leaves out, it also appears on the British Amazon store.
Nothing whatever came back from the American Amazon store, so the buy button there opens a search instead of an empty page.

Only where pockets exist, and none are described. A back protector on a harness is independent of the garment and is the route that does not require pockets.
It is a finish applied for appearance. The listing does not publish what it changes about the hide, and this page does not infer it.
Somebody buying the café racer look who is not relying on the jacket for anything else.
Same category, nearest prices. Only the specifications every one of them states are shown — a half-empty column compares nothing.
