Nice looking B3 type jacket, New Zealand made by Knight Tailors Ltd, size 40, $285 BIN. Looks really well made. Left-handed main zipper.

No sooner do I sell off four of my jackets than I pick up four more.
In the last two weeks:
TRD Rider jacket. Thread. This one's a keeper.
Gap Trucker Type III (brown). These Gap branded leather truckers punch well above their weight class, and I got a good price on it. This should be...
I think I finally found a leather Type III that works for me.
This Levis came up on the bay the other day, and arrived yesterday.
Leather is very decent, mid-weight, good grain, nice patina, really nice stuff for what you'd maybe expect from a Levis jacket. It's buttons, rather than snaps...
Yes, since I received this one, I've seen the "camping" label on a few jackets; I'd never seen it previously, so it was a bit of a surprise when I didn't see the familiar one that I had been expecting.
I've had an offer on the jacket, good through tomorrow. If anyone's interested here, I will take $750 for it. Will need to have a deal settled by early tomorrow evening. PM me here.
Another TRD jacket appeared on eBay yesterday. I'll talk about it here to contrast a bit with my words above.
Now, I haven't handled the jacket in question, so you'll have to bear that in mind. So I won't say much about the stuff that you can only assess in person -- the weight of the...
Wow, that lead me notice this car coat, which looks to be an example of the model that must have been a direct inspiration jacket for Aero's Wayfarer, and if I didn't already have one, I'd be hard pressed to pass on this one.

Damn, that really is cool. I don't like knit waistband jackets, but I love the way this leather has aged. I hope @Theodoros picks this one up and clones it for the 2020 Thedi line :)
I've seen the ones that are adjustable... This one isn't, which makes me wonder whether it's a dress form or a mannequin. But it's the right size to wear what I intend to put on it, so it's a moot issue for me. I agree with your points on presentation. Hopefully it'll help me clear out some...
It's not a Lesco, it's a California Creations. I actually sold the Lesco that I'd had for sale for a long time, just last week . They are of similar quality. Well made, thick leather, age beautifully. This one fits me better than the Lesco did (better sleeve length). I'm debating whether to keep...
So the next level of obsession for me is to buy a mannequin. Or, I believe that the proper term for what I have is a dress form. Mannequins are for displaying merchandise, dress forms are for tailoring work.
I'd been looking for a better way to display my sale jackets for photos, and taking...
