Californian size 38-40 $264. Would buy myself if it fit. Cool as can be.

If it was a US seller, I’d have hit BIN

"Item Condition In Bad Condition Overall" LOL.......... The Japanese listings are SOOOO overly honest. Basically, if it isn't brand new, its listed as "dirty with imperfections" or something like that. Now this one appears night and day when you look at the inside vs. outside......and the main zip may have some issues.....but I wouldn't say "Bad Condition overall"......... Of course, its not my jacket so maybe literally EVERY stitch is failing and it smells like a freshly soiled diaper smothered in a dirty ashtray. One man's BAD CONDITION OVERALL is another man's soiled treasure.

This one looks SWEEEEEET!!!! Yet according to the Seller it's "a little damaged/dirty" Glass Half Empty marketing!!!! Lol....... I say this tongue in cheek.......... the over the top honesty really is shockingly refreshing.

It is refreshing.

Sometimes I really don't get their pricing. It's usually way overboard, but then you'll find great deals like that first one. I'd be all over that one if it was my size. You can tell the leather is good condition.

Here is a more modern (perhaps) version of the label. It has what appears to be the initials SR above the Double Duty........ I wonder who made this brand??? BTW---here is the link to the similar jacket attached to that label
