Good. Highly recommend. I've owned a number of their jackets and the hide quality and construction were pretty impressive. I prefer BCL over Schott/Brooks/Bates.
Thanks!

I think your right, I had a 666rs before an i sold it because it was a 48 and to big. Very nice, great leather- thick, water resistant, nice grain. The buyer was john Chapman he used the jacket to make the pattern he uses now for the gw 666rs. I think you'll like it- hope it fits.Just bought this. I'm fairly sure the jacket is also Beck / Schott. Doesn't look as cool as some of their really awesome grain CRs, but still nice. I've heard these fit a bit weird, so if it doesn't work that well for me, I can move it to another member here rather than flipping.
Looks niceChevignon used to make a damn fine jacket.

Hall American Steerhide. Front is reminiscent of the Sportclad/Kurland, while the back is more like Wards. Awesome jacket. $250

now that is super cool. Love that kind of shade of brown. Alright, putting on watch list and see if it gets any action. If it's usual vintage sizing, probably too small for me.
Great pullover.https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s...cke-leder-hemd-pulli-gr-m/1740605194-306-7748
vanson pullover size m, looks nice, listed measurements are 59 ptp, 53 cm shoulders, so fits like a 42-44 id say, 300 euros roughly 360 dollar and im pretty sure its negotiatable
This is the Californian jacket that the GW Imperial is based on. I've only seen one other. A real beauty!
Cool. Old. A little rough. Pretty unique Chest pocket design. Too Small (for me). Decent price for the vintage (IMO).

I don't know what it's like on Vinted US but on Vinted France, they're dirt cheap. I don't even care to follow what's getting uploaded. I've seen horsehide ones listed at like $150 with of course sellers having no clue these jackets are worth anything. Some even mention how they paid a grand for it but have to sell it. I think they don't understand there's a market for these jackets and treat them as any jacket you paid a lot for in Zara's store but the moment you walked out, it became worthless.
Here, random pick from today...

I'm interested in exploring this marketplace more but filtering through the results seems like a bit of a drag. Do you have any recommendations on the most effective way to search through this website?
Other than looking for a specific brand name, not really, no. But I'm hardly the best person to ask, anyway, as I no longer have any specific criteria regarding leather jackets so filtering through results is what I'm finding most rewarding about this hobby. These days my search literally consist of simply browsing through all that is new in the general "leather jackets" section.
Fair enough. Any recommendations on quality brands to keep an eye out for that I might not be as familiar with coming from the States?
