Huh... This doesn't look bad at all! Definitely heavy, leather looks surprisingly good, nicely made... Dunno, seems a good jacket for $75. I've seen worse from Vanson.

This looks so much like my lost/stolen TRD jacket that I had to try it. I'm sure I'll be disappointed, but for $75 it's worth a shot.

Post about it. I'm really curious if the leather is as nice as it looks.

Yeah lets see it when you have it. Leather looks massively heavy!

I for sure will. Stay tuned.

 

[ton312]

I for sure will. Stay tuned.

Here;s to hoping it's closer to a TRD than a TURD. LOL...looks good though, I damn near jumped. Certainly very low risk!

Damn! But why am I not surprised. That leather looks 5 oz.

Wow, 10 lbs. It might just be the reincarnation of my long-lost TRD then. I'll try to contain my joy until I have it in hand. If I don't get tingles, Ton, I'll definitely let you know.

I had an alert set for Thurlow so this popped up in my eBay.
I just went back to it, and the seller has made me an offer of $200 on it.
I had no idea a seller could make offers!

One part of me wants it, the other part is saying "you don't even own a western hat or do line dancing!"

When you put an item on your wishlist the seller sees that and can send offers to those who follow the item.

I’ve had great purchases thanks to this.

You'll need boots for that. Engineers won't do. And a hat. Luckily, you're at the right place. Just make sure to free up the next 6 years and after 137 $1K hats you bought and sold, no doubt you'll find the right one. Your girlfriend might no longer care to see it, or you for that matter but hey, it'll be very fun.

Asked the GF "Would you love me more if i was a sexy cowboy?" as i showed her the coat.
"No, no i wouldn't, bleach that from your mind it isn't hapenning" was her answer.

So i guess i will never know the joys of line dancing...

Smart choice, your GF sounds like my wife, who hides my purchases that she dislikes. I suspect she gives some of them to charity. They just disappear.

Dude, me thinks you need to cuddle up with your GF on the couch one night and watch the movie "URBAN COWBOY" starring John Travolta....... Your life will change as you and your GF both wildly obsess about riding a mechanical bull AND you get your foot in the door on the potential exploration of COWBOY attire. If this backfires, you can BOTH try to bleach it from your minds and move on.....but FAIR WARNING--the movie's absurdity may need more than bleach to be completely removed from your psyches
