Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[Monitor]

Do you have a screenshot? May have to use a VPN or some proxy service like Buyee and plug the link in there. I'm from Australia and it's not blocked at all for me so I've just been browsing directly on Yahoo Auctions.

Ah, I see. Thought they might not be blocked for every country but I'm only getting a white screen with a following text...

"From Wednesday, April 6, 2022, Yahoo! JAPAN is no longer available in the EEA and the United Kingdom."​

Figured I might get around the block by using VPN or some proxy service but I thought maybe there's an easier way. I'm not that interested in buying from Japan as the taxes are sky high, anyway.

It’s all relative I suppose as my most recent jacket purchase was somewhere around half price of new retail (it was used, but basically only missing the tags) through From Japan. Equivalent is rarely available here in Canada for my fit and preference - stuff from the US usually costs more than it might through EU or Japan.

I troll new listings, here's some horribly labeled jackets that are high quality.

Appalachian Tanned and Tailored A-2 - $121

Oakbrook Sport With a Really Interesting Lining - $40
https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m18419807249/?iv_code=VWZJTS&object_id=m18419807249&object_type=item

Been tempted to buy these but they are just way too big for me. The Oakbrook pit to pit is 24''

East / West Drifter 44
(A good looking, more conservative style for the brand) If one were to have a redo by Greg, this might be a good candidate.

That contains the retractable hoodie LOL. East West was ahead of its time.

It's just the pink it's laying on, these Swedish Police jackets are actually great for motorcycle riding and really keep the cold wind away, as well as having a very logical front pocket for longer rides.

I’d love to try one, have bid on a couple but never worked out.

It’s for hiding your “weed” from the “fuzz”.

Californian always get my attention. This jacket needs a little TLC. The male pin side of the zipper needs help. and must be replaced. The sleeve length is a little on the short side.
