@Mandarin @Jin431 Funny story to come.
I've shared the link of your former/current black Engelbert Vanek with the seller (located in Berlin) of the two 50's leather jackets telling him that the leather of the black one is very similar to the Vanek. He has just answered as follows: "This is crazy! This used to be my Engelbert Vanek (noticed it from the side adjusters) which I sold to a guy from France about 3 years ago as it was too short for me" Little world!

Man, it really is haha that guy should get on here in the lounge. He seems to have a great collection of German leather jackets!

Small world indeed! As a matter of fact, the seller is very consistent in his choice of jackets.

About as perfect a Sportclad as you will see. Great price too.

This is the nicest cross zip ever made, I swear. Look at how the collar curve follows the main zipper line, when the jacket is fully zipped. And the little things, like lined collar. I'd SO love to have this...

So he decided to sell the best jacket he's got, one that's possibly the rarest & most unique. Real smart there.

I agree. However he is looking at it differently, it seems he is trying to keep the ones he paid the most money for, all the 2k+ jackets.

ELMC tagged 44. I don’t know about the special lining and how that impacts whether or not it’s a deal at $1365.

Why would you pay $1365 for a used jacket if you can buy a new one for $1250?

It is sold out at Standard & Strange in all of the larger sizes. But I agree in principle.

Jmax, what's behind the decorative stitching on the chest, one encircling the coin pocket? Is the chest pocket leather lined?

Crazy price, but the leather looks to be some of the best I've seen on these.

My jacket is in storage so I can’t check to see if the “d” pocket is leather lined. I honestly don’t remember right now. There is a interior pocket too. (See pic- lapel snaps up high). Same though, I need to check to see exactly what is going on. Glad I could provide absolutely no help lol.
