Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[jeo]

Thanks, this is very helpful! My daughter is actually nearby some of those, she’s in Queen Village on S 4th St. I think I’m going up over Father’s Day weekend to see her band (Queen Rat) play.

You’re in luck! Father’s Day weekend happens to be when Six Ways Markets is coming to Philly. It’s a pretty big vintage flea market. It’ll be held at the Philadelphia Brewing Company at 2440 Frankford Ave on June 17th and 18th 11:00 am - 6:00 pm.

It’s about 15-20 min from Queen Village if that’s where you’ll be staying.

I’ll be going. Let me know if decide to go as well and maybe we can meet up.

Franklin and Poe is very close to there as well at 1817 Frankford Ave. It’s the best store in Philly by far for denim and leather jackets.

Here’s the website for Six Ways Markets.

Great find but the issue with a lot these Japanese postings is the lack of any info. "When I was 170cm and 80kg it fit fine" doesn't really help lol.

Too bad he didn't post any dimensions or it'll be easier.

hahah agreed. It'll definitely be a bit of a gamble but I feel like at this price if it doesn't work out it wouldn't be impossible to move it on without a big loss.

Its a great find, if I was near 80kg I'll check it out for sure lol!

I think the japanese generally aren't that used to selling 2nd stuff cos some of their descriptions are hilarious. The plus side is they do keep their gear in very good condition. It like they have this sense of pride that they have taken care of their stuff and it'll be insulting to sell you something damaged.

$600 is what I paid for a mint J27 size 46 with the early 50s tag Buco used when they only made jackets with horsehide

Sweet, early Talon paperclip zipper with Crown-like teeth, too bad it is separated, worth fixing.
