I think it’s the top half of a suit?

I’m not sure how I missed this. It ‘twas me... I’ll throw up some fit pics after it arrives. The price point royally sucked - but the killer style of the jacket plus those perfect-for-me measurements couldn’t be passed up.
Look forward to the pics...I was super interested but couldn't commit to the sale price. I didn't bid to win but that was about the largest one second jump I remember seeing recently.

Nice Buco J-21 reproduction. Been nice if the seller mentioned who made the jacket

Looks like the one I had and recently sold. No belt, a Size 46, but quite short. Sold it for around $810 (Golly I forgot this...) so I would say that's quite the Mark-up! It was a Diamond Dave, but did not say that anywhere on the jacket. Not a huge fan of that jacket overall, leather seemed weak and just not all that high of quality.

Time got by me there, so I went back in my records and was shocked to see it sold for $810.

I would be ready to bet this is a diamond dave jacket!
Could it even be @tmitchell59 old one that had a small tear next to the ticket pocket?
definitely overpriced if it is...

Found it:

Look at the alignment of the D pocket zipper, and the visible tear between the zipper and the left upper corner of the ticket pocket, definitely the same jacket.
