    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    No, when a sale gets canceled, there's no opportunity. Update: I found that I could leave feedback, and have done so. For some reason eBay "hides" canceled items from your Purchase History page, and I didn't see that I could still leave feedback until I left feedback for something else I...

    I've bought.... A lot, but this is the first time I've ever had a problem.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    This one went surprisingly low. Maybe due to summer heat? I was the winner. I paid immediately after the auction closed yesterday. Seller canceled the sale today, with a lame (and very likely bogus) explanation that his "wife had decided to give my jacket to their son." I'm sure that the...

    What’s your heaviest leather jacket and how much it weigh?

    I'm late to this party. I have a lot of jackets, in sizes ranging from 38 to 46, and lengths from waist to hip. Most of them are on the heavy side. The very heaviest weigh about 8 lbs. Most of the heavy ones weigh about 6 lbs to 6.5 lbs. For me this is plenty. My lightest jackets weigh about 4.5...

    I don't see anything wrong with him marking up his find to a price he thought he could reasonably get for it, but the way he responded to your inquiry was way out of line. He doesn't need your money, @Monitor.

    Nice Kensington, similar design to Aero's Highwayman. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F233293604473

    Sweet Jesus. That's so many levels above the usual Sears D-pocket, the later decades don't really compare at all to what this is. That FQHH is amazing.

    Good Wear A-2 "Cable Raincoat Company" 46

    Final follow-up on this item, I went back to the seller I purchased this from, distinctivefootwear, and pointed out the misidentification on the maker, providing the information given to me by @Juanito . Distinctivefootwear apologized and accepted a refund, without hesitation, even though it...

    People can get overly picky, but this is why items need to be fully described and clearly photographed. I get what you're saying, though.

    Aero Premier Highwayman midnight blue CXL

    It's like the blued steel on a fine grade magnum revolver. Ace!

    Differences of opinion are the point of forums, but let's try to keep this thread on topic and avoid devolving. That transaction is over and done with, so we might as well all move on. The additional information on the jacket's condition is of course welcome for anyone considering buying it.

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

    I hope it's a good one. I thought it might go for more, too, it's only the second original Windward of this style that I've seen for sale anywhere, and looked like it was in decent shape, and in a popular size. The only other one I've seen was all original, a bit longer variant, in Japan, and...

    Wasn't me. I thought about it, but the Vanson I got from @technovox was my budget for this month, and I have Ton's Gambler, and two ELMC Windwards... Need to sell something first.

    Hercules Leather Co London UK

    Welcome, and thank you for clarifying on what's yours and what isn't. What has me interested is the idea of another maker who: - Isn't *just* producing reproductions of the well known, familiar classics, but is doing something else. Kind of like the B-sides. If mint vintage gets you some...

    Same seller: $70 A-2 style. I don't think it's a Schott, but it's vintage and very nice looking. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1950s-60s-era-Steerhide-Leather-Motorcycle-Bomber-Jacket-USA/143327629334?hash=item215efe1016:g:LTMAAOSwQ-BdKHVC&autorefresh=true...

    I'd buy it, but for the stitching marks where the police patches used to be. If you're just looking for something that is built like a tank and perfect for riding in, and that doesn't bother you, the minor issues reported in that listing do sound like easy to address repairs, and non-issues...
