Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[dannyk]

Is this the durable like Marlon Brando was famous for?

Yes from around the same period. And good call for saying that. Schott definitely created this look and was/is most famous for it. But most of us believe it was probably a Durable he was wearing. There’s one or two other choices out there; but that’s the leading contender.

I put in an offer that was declined. So now I put in a bid. As soon as I saw it here I said I’m like one of 3 guys here this might fit ha.

Funny story. Before I joined the board and learning a bit, I made a $1,000 offer on the ELMC J100 below and the seller refused quoting that there has been a lot of interest in this jacket. He claims it was new and said they don’t come with tags which isn’t true, they even come with a leather keychain.
He couldn’t tell me the age but said he was selling for a family member and said “knowing him he never wore it”. That is just an assumption so it’s dishonest to call it new.

Not only would it not have fit so thankfully he didn’t accept the offer but it’s remained on eBay unchanged ever since (about 6 months).
Judging from completed sales here abs on eBay, Eastman doesn’t have great resale and they had a major price increase because I saw an advertisement where they were almost half of what they charge today. So he would be better off asking $600 if he wants to sell it.

Thank you for declining my offer

Good luck Danny. The size works in your favor.

You gotta win this, Dan!

Just don’t put a bunch of Clash pins through it!

 

[Damon141]

DannyK you might have a good chance because the seller has no feedback so regular non board members (civilians) might be hesitant to bid too high on a new seller

Haha no not the vintage ones. Only two. A surprisingly well made mall jacket, and my Schott. I’ve never pinned, patched, or buttoned anything like this, no plans to ever do so; especially very old vintage jackets or ones I might ever want to trade/sell!

Glad for you and glad it is 2 sizes too large for me, or I'd be gutted. Have been looking for exactly this brown straight zip Cal in S/M.

Looks cool, great price for a Cal, but it says it has a musty odor. I hope the buyer can get it out.
