Trying to talk myself out of this one. I really don't need it and have two relatively similar long HB's....but this one is gnawing at me.

I know you've seen that beautifully pleated back. That's not similar to what you already have.

The hide looks great and definitely a nice price. I thought about it for a second. Try out the style at a good buy in.

Not entirely. But close.

That’s definitely the wiser decision versus the Buco you showed me. Probably better condition too. It even has identical measurements.

The pleated back is a beauty for sure, but it's the near-arcuate front yoke that makes the whole jacket sing.

Tidy Brooks.

I've been watching this on eBay and it's ended unsold the last couple of goes.

Might be a deal to be made?

Are those proportions out for a Brooks then? I'm not familiar enough to know.

If the measurements in the listing are accurate, I wouldn't say out of proportion, but the measurement photos show the jacket unzipped, open, and lying askew. The stitching does look a little odd at first blush, but I'm thinking it's just faded? I'm guessing. Looks like a nice Brooks to me. The prices of these seem to be going up.

I put in an offer that was declined. So now I put in a bid. As soon as I saw it here I said I’m like one of 3 guys here this might fit ha.

Is this the durable like Marlon Brando was famous for?

Thanks. I totally don’t need to spend the money right now. Which is why I didn’t go in with my Max offer right away and just get it. In fact the wife would probably be big mad about that haha. So I said eh I don’t need this….I just really want this. I’ll be keeping an eye on it for sure.
