Never heard of them. That leather looks like CXL.

I mean, yeah, I think wool is better for sweaters. I used to have cotton sweaters when I was a kid, and then I grew up and discovered I could wear wool sweaters comfortably, and they were better in every way. But then, there are people who have allergies, and people who just find cotton more...

Pass on it.

Go for it, they're great jackets.

They're around, what, £1200-1300 new? You can probably get about $900-1000 if it's new, but if you want a quick sale expect it to fetch $600-750. Immediate sale, less than that.

Looks like Humphrey Bogart. Not sure the woman, there were so many beautiful classic era Hollywood stars. Maybe Audrey Hepburn? Shirley McClain?

Just listed on Ebay. This jacket is minty, and almost certainly one of the last Octagon leather jackets in this kind of condition. Message me here for a discounted off-ebay sale...

Looking good. Congratulations on your acquisition!
