A guide for this piece: about $179, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.

The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

An offset zip crosses this black Lewis Leathers Lightning jacket, with snap-down lapels and twin buckle adjusters facing the back.

The Piece

The photographed Aviakit label states Made in England and carries a separate size 38 tab. The 402 entered the Lightning range in 1977; its rear-facing adjusters distinguish the design from the 391. That is model history, not a date for this particular 402T.

British sheepskin and nylon lining are the recorded materials, but no complete fibre-percentage label is shown. The photographs document the front, back, main label, inner British Made label, pocket zip, collar snap, adjuster hardware and accompanying paperwork. A guarantee card and instructions are included as photographed; they do not establish a recent service or guarantee the present condition of each fastener.

The rear view shows seams crossing above the buckled adjusters, while the front retains several zipped pockets. Their photographed position is not proof that every slider travels freely. This heritage pattern should not be treated as certified motorcycle protective equipment.

Condition

Grade A in Japan, meaning good used condition, with specific exceptions: peeling around the collar, cuffs and zip openings; scratches, rubbing, creases and light soiling. The grade does not mean flawless leather, and cleaning cannot be promised to reverse peeling.

Authenticity & Care

The actual label specifies drying in a cool, airy place, never with direct heat from a fire or radiator. Lewis Leathers recommends brushing off dust, using cleaner sparingly and testing sheep leather in a hidden area first. Its general routine allows 24 hours after cleaning and another 24 after conditioning. Have the already peeling areas assessed before applying anything; general maintenance is not a restoration promise.
