Apologies for my ignorance, but why is that particular jacket worth so much?

Right, so I know there's an entire sub-forum devoted to this but... Not only do I constantly keep forgetting about it (and I don't think I'm alone on this) but since it's intended for general vintage finds of all kinds, there's just too many stuff to browse through - so - how about a thread dedicated only to good deals on leather jackets?

eBay, Etsy, Grailed, etc. - anything goes as long as the listings aren't yours.

Hi
I just bought on EBay for $200 a Willis & Geiger B3. Was never conditioned so I used a Lanolin Cream. Before and After Pictures. I read this label on another B3 Jacket and suggest to use Lanolin. What you think?
Thank You
Peter

Why is a Ferrari 250 GTO worth what it's worth?

It's rare, it's collectable, it's sought after, and they don't make them anymore.

Exactly.

True, but that was a Ferrari 250 GTO for Toyota Corolla money. By the posmark comment section we might know who bought it.

The seller must have cancelled the sale & resold it for $2,500

It’s not worth half or even a quarter that IMO. There are the affected and the unaffected. And that’s all there is to it. It fully depends on which camp you’re in.

Sounds about right. Well, my wallet can rest easy in knowing that I fall heavily into the unaffected camp.

Is it straight zip CHP more rare than side zip one overall?

That’s a beauty. 22” back is pretty short . No Pit to Pit measurement.

Possibly an Aero Leather Levis 'Scorched up Jacket"? A small size rough condition but cheap.

Thanks for the post here, we'll soon see how it is, I will do a full review of it when it lands. If it's too small (fingers-crossed it is not) then I'll post it in the classifieds.
