    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    Great jacket and great write-up. Your passion epitomizes exactly what our core pursuit is all about, and your Cal jacket is the paragon of outerwear!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I stopped by Butterscotch earlier this week and tried on that exact jacket. It is a very cool design and well made. Congrats!

    As much as I love my leather jackets, this Freewheelers Brodovitch may be my favorite.

    Q&A with Jason Schott

    I met Jay a few years ago at the former Glendale Schott store. Nice guy. Bought a cross-zip jacket from him for my wife -- she loves it. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/%E2%80%9Cwell-now-you-have-met-the-owner-of-schott-%E2%80%9D.89730/

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Yes, thanks. I am seriously considering a new Thedi. I love his selection of leather. My problem is that most of his designs are too complicated. I prefer simple moto/half-belt cuts.

    Why FL over Thedi? How do these two manufacturers compare?

    The Flat Head Delraiser (2021 edition)

    Outstanding jacket and fit!!! If I were to crossover to the cross-zip dark side, that would be among my top choices. I have been very tempted to swing by SE and try one on, but I already know that it will be too wide. Congrats. So Cal OC or Jersey OC? Did you get the jacket from SELA...

    The Relapse

    Great observations! Whether our focus/fixation is repros or vintage, military or moto, leather or denim, the underlying, core addiction that fuels each of us is remarkably similar and transcends the varied outward manifestations. In other words, we all suffer from the same fundamental disease...

    The Relapse

    We all are well versed with the supernatural TFL Effect, which corrupts many new members of this fine community: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/the-tfl-effect.94299/ . I love watching new members as they succumb to the TFL Effect and purchase new jackets at a furious pace. Their...

    Is it ok to negotiate and/or offer less than the listed price? What qualifies as a low ball offer?

    Your example perfectly illustrates the inherent variables in the process, including disagreements regarding value and fair pricing. You offered 40% less than the asking price. Some here would characterize that as a "low ball" offer. However, you strongly believed that the asking price was...

    Is it ok to negotiate and/or offer less than the listed price? What qualifies as a low ball offer?

    Your honorable approach works well if the seller's listed price is consistent with fair market value ("FMV") and the actual amount that the seller hopes to receive from the sale. However, several people here have acknowledged that they increase their listing prices above FMV and/or what they...

    Is it ok to negotiate and/or offer less than the listed price? What qualifies as a low ball offer?

    This discussion is not about the scammer/fraudster referenced in the other thread, nor reactions to his communications and associated thievery. Rather, this thread is about negotiations between honest participants. A scam/fraud/theft is a completely different issue and one has every right to...

    Is it ok to negotiate and/or offer less than the listed price? What qualifies as a low ball offer?

    We ALL have purchased things for what we believed to be way, way below market value . . . and smiled all the way home at our good fortune. Exactly nothing wrong with that. Would I do this in a face to face transaction with an obviously mentally incompetent individual, and thereby take...

    ^ This. Don't get offended. Instead, get amused. Much better emotion.
