Christ and God almighty, this is the coolest thing ever!

This thread has literally cured me from wanting more leather jackets. There's just so many insanely nice stuff out there that I'm overwhelmed, can't deal with it and am giving up. I'll just stick to looking at the pretty pics from now on. Like that RMC. That's freaking perfect! I don't quite understand the benefits of having the lining leather perforated but I love the idea.

Considering what they cost new, that's a great deal...but still expensive.

A cool vintage Lewis Leathers jacket that seems to be listed a reasonable price.

Missing belt kills it

Give hipsterdom a break. If you ride, do yourself a favor and get one of these. Unbelievably good jackets.

Sort of been looking for a perforated one. I just never hit BIN because of my perforated Force.

^^I have one of those Vanson's with perforation on the front panels. My first, quality leather jacket. Fit is terrible, you all will really laugh if I ever do a thread on it. But I absolutely love it and got it for a whopping $85 in 2007. It's a Mark II Cobra with the cotton lining, and no mid-arm zip vents, was fully broken in at that time, but has gotten a lot more so. These are great, practically un-damageable jackets!

On edit - funny but I just read the ad. It was her ex-husband's. That's how I got mine so cheaply, via Craigslist in Chicago, she even took a check from a stranger, she was ready to be rid of it!

These are great and simple jackets. They run smaller than other Vanson. I had one in this size. Wish it were a size up at that price.

I've been watching that for a while, but I'm nervous about some of the pictured defects.

Avoid this seller like the plague, he lied to me about the condition of a jacket i bought from him, after i gave him a negative feedback he harassed me with threatening messages and phone calls for a week.
It only stopped after i repported him to the police.
The man is a mentalist.

Women’s jacket. Maybe my better half will be interested. But seller describes it as cognac brown?

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

Looks very much like a Diamond Dave jacket. I think it shouldn’t be priced that high.

I thought the same, but it says "Japanese"... not sure I would trust without a tag photo.

Who outbid me on the goatskin Knopf??!? LOL. I know it’s somebody in these parts! Unmask yourself sir! LOL. Damn it! Went for more than I was willing to part with. Nice jacket though.

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.
