Ton, great points.
Speaking of gambling, I watched a basketball game on ESPN the other night and could not believe the number of DraftKing plugs/commercials I saw. I fear for the men that are sucked into that as an addiction.
The great thing about jacket collecting is that it's open to many economic classes. The more expensive jackets are still attainable for many middle/upper-middle-class people like myself. It's a big tent with people of many backgrounds.
The same cannot be said for the highest-end watches and...
I like the thrill of the hunt and trying new stuff. I want to decrease my collection and have been more willing to trade or sell here to cut out the fees from eBay. is there something wrong with my dopamine reward system, yes, probably. I gave up drinking years ago, so this and other pursuits...
Okay, I cannot succumb to temptation on this one. Someone snap it up. A size 40 Indian Sugar Cane jacket for about $420 shipped from Japan. The measurements look like a trim 42 as noted in the comments where I asked.
Measurement and pics from a size 38 for reference...
Cool jacket in a size 40 or so. I know nothing of the maker, so don't fillet me if this is some made in China abomination, but the leather is unique. It's only $145 USD plus shipping from japan.
Hey Ton, that's a great question. This was sold as a Herms and has the red lining and dual interior chest pockets I believe.
I wonder if Herms contracted with Pasaic and sold under the Herms name, like a Walter Dyer business model? Herm was based out of Easton PA which isn't too far from NJ.
Good luck! I can't imagine any of the the local yinzers having any clue what that stuff is, or what the market would be for it. I'm sure it will turn up somewhere. If they do show up it'll be on Marketplace I bet.
Quick snaps while walking the dogs. I believe this style of Bates is discontinued. It features a short front for riding and two rows of zippers to accommodate layers.
I know, it's crazy expensive. That said, the leather jacket hobby is a big tent IMO. Imagine the disparity in what certain classes of people can afford to buy in a car or watch pursuit, right?
