Thedi Cognac Buffalo 22" (56cm) P2P like new $1100 BIN OBO...maybe this would not be considered a deal, but it's a savings of $600 over new and I prefer this over a lot of stuff I see for $1000+.

Nice one! He dates it as 80s but it's probably earlier (According to the talon zipper?)

@TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead do you already have a Schott like this in your collection?

I think the seller should rename his profile to 'Wrinkledvintage'.

He often times offers nice jackets for reasonably fair prices, but 9 out of 10 are extremely wrinkled (and therefore uninteresting to me).

Do these wrinkles disappear when the jacket is completely soaked in water?

Not too long ago someone here posted about having some success in "wrinkle mitigation". Not a 100 percent fix, but an improvement. Like you, these wrinkled jackets are a no-go, but others may be more adventurous.

Is that a plastic zipper? PLEASE say it isn't so.

I doubt it. My force has a two-way 10 Lenzip. Awesome Zip. It does have a plastic stop.
