Yup on all counts. His label is cheesy as hell. His jackets are master level pieces. But, they are some of the highest retail prices. As you said you lose like an Aero or Vanson just by owning it. Comparatively terrible/awful resale value. On the other hand they are beautiful and well made and can’t imagine too many people are flipping them. They should be keepers.
AND that liner ain't nothin to MOO at!!!!
Got a link for this?
THIS is cool IMO. The perfect compromise between traditional trucker, and traditional vintage style jacket!!!! THIS should be a 5Star Custom Build!!!!! This baby just made "THE 5* FILE"
I agree nice but above my price rangehere is a beauty size 44

If you are buying a Himel to own and wear what does resale value have to do with it. A typical Aero jacket sells for 50 to high 60% retail on the resale market. I do not notice Himel jackets on the resale market selling for less than 50% retail. If I am missing something, please enlighten me
The label is cheesy. Like his actual label inside the jacket. That’s all. Not his product. And they are great pieces. Some of the best. Just very expensive.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. 
Not difficult to spot those Japanese resellers. Take a look at their other items. If they have a bunch of items with all kinds of different background then they are not selling their own goods. Also they would seem to have a huge stock for sale.
If only it were reversible.
It's BAAAAAAAA----AAAAAAAACCKKK!!!!!!
Not only is this jacket interesting---but the saga of its soaring price and resale is also interesting to follow.

Wonder what the story is gonna be on this one. Its re-listed at the price the Auction Winner paid for it. Maybe an unhappy buyer is hoping to snag the Auction's Runner Up bidder???????
