You offered 4 digits and got declined???!!!!! Dang man.......... Not totally unexpected but still........

67 Watchers, 16 bids in 12 hours, 8 bidders, and 6.5 days left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This one is as JUICY as it gets. I'm so glad I'm not in on this. Love that its NOT my size (first time I have every typed THAT statement)!!!!!!!!! I can be an objective observer.

Here's to the Warriors battling for this jacket. Freakin THUNDERDOME goin down!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wrote to ask for the zipper date code. I thought they would let this one run given the early response. Glad to see it go to a worthy collector !

The straight zips like the iconic Hercules don't usually fetch the top dollars in Japan. The Xzips, especially the ones in demand, is a different story.

98k yen is about 700 USD

@tmitchell59 You can try selling your Top Notch aviators in Japan, they're asking 240k yen there, USD 1600+

Haha no no, just made strong offer that I was comfortable with. I probably saved myself some money as I have a feeling the bidding would have went over what I paid. I also would have been bidding against people I know that would have tried to sell me the jacket at an even higher price. That’s exactly what happened with the Leathertogs that sold recently.

Great when a rare jacket goes to a collector not a dealer/flipper.

^^ Great price on a Hein Gericke. These are highly under-rated jackets for sure!

I had a $25 HG quite a few years back that I lent to a friend who had newly gotten a motorcycle. About a year after I asked if he still needed the jacket, and he offered me $100 for it...I didn't have the heart to accept it, just let him keep the HG.
