^ Nice!

I really dig the skulls. Idiotic price, though but these Great China Wall painted jackets are nice. What CR was this originally?

Definitely a vintage Brooks - Here’s my The Great China Wall painted Brooks. The artist that did these paint jobs only produced around 30-40 jackets for the company in the early 2000’s - when they were originally being sold to celebrities and high-end clients, they were retailing for $2500-3500.

I purchased this one for a whopping $45 out in Chicago from the wife of the original owner. She said the style no longer suited her hubby.

Really cool! I always loved the art on any of these, whenever one turned up for sale and the jackets were really nice, usually Brooks CR's but I've seen couple of Bates too. But the art is good and it's not overdone. I'd wear this not giving it a second thought.

It looks like a tattoo

That's really sharp, especially with the red satin lining, but sadly, i would need a sleeve stretcher...

This is the first one of these I’ve ever liked. Particularly the art on the back. Really cool!

I pulled out my 689H and re-measured it, and if I'm not stretching the tape carefully I am able to get about what this seller says their jacket is. Mine is a "40", theirs is a "L". Something doesn't quite add up. The L should be larger, a 42 or 44. And there's no photos of the tape laid out so you can see how accurate the claimed numbers are, or how they are obtained. But it's so cheap, I almost bought it just to flip it for $400. I can't believe it's not taken yet.

And it’s sold...
