Couldn't wait. Bought it.
You got a good deal at $200. It doesn't look to have been worn.

This one is not the real deal but soooo beautiful leather (I guess Shinki) IMO and different cossak style of the Japanese maker Colimbo!

Not sure how the Fieldmaster models compare to the Oakbrooks, but this could be a nice purchase for someone. Maybe @tmitchell59 knows about Fieldmasters?

Somebody bought this for $150...I asked several unanswered questions...couldn't make sense of the posted numbers but either way somebody came up big time for a paltry sum:
Had I known the winning offer would've been something so low...kind of sick to my stomach about it tbh....even if it didn't fit it would have been a very good pick up.Wow!

Yeah the measurements were super bizarre...28" back length....nothing made sense. Liner would've been a $180-200 repair.With this example, I think one also needs to factor in the torn lining and the cost of repairing or replacing it. If it didn't fit (with an 18" chest and 22" sleeves, it's looking pretty small), it seems the chances of flipping it for a profit aren't great. Maybe you'd break even.

The thing is the length is likely the one measurement that's easiest not to fubar.Yeah, I wouldn't feel too bad about that one getting away. Cool jacket but no way it measured 28" in length with those chest/sleeve proportions.
Having owned TWO ELMC Windward jackets and a Vanson Raider, it's a great style and the modern remakes are better than the original. But maybe not 10x better.Interesting to see this is most likely where ELMC got the inspiration for their Windward model.

I love the Elmc version. Right up to the elastic waist. They should’ve used buckles imho. It’s a small detail but that would gnaw at me. I suppose the upside is you don’t have a slipping HB.

It is. I still have trader’s remorse...Yeah if I had the option I’d ditch the elastic waist but I forget about it 95% of the time it’s such a cracking jacket.
