What are important things to look for when evaluating the condition of a used jacket?
Patina. 1. Patina is a misnomer something that applies to metals but I won’t get into because common vernacular has adopted that word to leather jackets. But a jacket will wear, shape, mold to its user and its use. A bit of discoloration from the sun. A bit dull or conversely a sheen to it from...- dannyk

BK Durable "The Wild One" One Star Double Rider
Like you said not bad. Looks like a really nice jacket. But a few tweaks here and there could make it really special.- dannyk

Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)
I don’t disagree. Buy whatever makes you happy and feel good. And yeah the patches are symbols and faces of Marvel Villains to answer your question. Chances are they are unique. I just get angry when I see 6,000 dollar truckers, and 2,000 dollars jackets at that. I don’t like the economy we have...- dannyk

Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)
The thing that kills me about these types of jackets is that it takes nothing to recreate it. I mean I’m not capable of making a denim jacket from scratch haha but my point is....it doesn’t appear to be any sort of amazing denim that itself costs a lot and so it has a bunch of Marvel patches on...- dannyk

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Agreed. It must have been a custom. I’ve never seen anything like this one. If it fit me better I’d never have gotten rid of it. Straight zip with a collar lapel that’s incredible and the shearling collar is a ridiculous(ridiculous in a good way) color I’ve never seen. But being a custom it’s...- dannyk

I don’t often check Blue In Green as they don’t tend to carry my style but one of the few times I’m looking I come across this. Now I actually kinda like it. I’m a big comics, cartoon, superhero, sci-fi fan. So I see this and I say hey kinda neat. Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t post it...- dannyk

Rich Sher and Ralph Pugh seem to almost always be beautiful and real finds. A few years ago you could find them for less than old Cals and Langlitz. Not so much anymore. Seems like the secrets out.- dannyk

Is this patina or something sinister
It’s not patina. Though it’s not sinister. Not much to add. It’s either topcoat flaking a bit or some sort of teacore effect. But if you didn’t order a teacore and I’m not sure I’ve ever even seen a teacore goat since goat as has been mentioned is the most resistant to wear and patina; I...- dannyk

My Himel Experience (v2)
I do and I don’t at the same time. I’ve never looked at them as an investment. But I have thought what if (fill in the blank) doesn’t fit, will I lose a ton of money on this? What if ____ is different than the pictures and I don’t like it? I’ve never once considered buying anything just to flip...- dannyk

Returning the trucker? What’s wrong with it? Or is that hypothetical to raise funds for the Himel? Just curious I’ve been keeping my eye on them. Have some issues but look promising.- dannyk

FS: William Lennon Derby Boot, UK8
Ok now those I’m really interested in. I know I’ve spoken to a few people here about William Lennon’s and this model specifically is the one that I would want. So I’m angry that it’s 1 size off. If you were a size 14 or something no worries not even close. But now I’m thinking well maybe with...- dannyk

FS: William Lennon Derby Boot, UK8
I’m afraid these would also be a touch large on me. UK8 is US9 and I’m normally a US 8 in boots. But I’m super tempted. If these are still here next paycheck I may just come back for them. But hopefully they aren’t still here; because I’m hoping you sell them right away!- dannyk

That’s why I keep saying I really only like to deal here or some FB groups I’m in. With all the fees and shipping eBay is more or less a scam these days. I did just get a good deal on something we all know it’s not impossible; but it just makes me appreciate this space much more.- dannyk
