Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[TheOldFashioned]

Auction says men's but it could be wrong I guess?

As mentioned above the darts are the main giveaway. The throat latch is also reversed compared to most men's jackets.

There's a good inch or more of fold there. That's a roomy hem. I'm sure it's 19+".

Larger Vanson C2, BIN $375 w/ offer option. Main zip starting to fail, though:

I messaged the seller over 2hrs ago for dimensions, but I did throw an offer. No feedback as a seller and no dimensions has me a bit gun shy. If it's too small and slim for me it'll be hard to move.

I finally saw how he measured the 15.5” pit to pit. It’s certainly more like 18” on that Taubers fyi

A find. If only I had some spare money to hand.....

Zip is not done up and he starts the measure an inch in....
..you may be right......I need to stop looking at this one.

Too cool. I see wearing those on dressy occassions, just for shock value.

I have loved these US Army Mackinaw Jeep Coats for years (but I live in LA). This one is made of WW2 era canvas.....Awesome!

Not sure what makes this pair "supreme", but you can find brand new ones cheaper on Vansons website. I have a few pairs (my rottweiler chewed a pair up, lol). They tend to run on the smaller side. Might want to go up a size.

This is a steal if you are into it, US$100 for the lot.

Women's jacket?

I agree with all y'all, darts and collar point to women's jacket...but what's with the tagged 42? I see this sometimes—a men's size tag on what looks like a women's jacket. What gives?

As mentioned above the darts are the main giveaway. The throat latch is also reversed compared to most men's jackets.

This reminds me that I have a woman's Brooks CR that I accidentally bought which I need to probably just offer up for the cost of shipping.
I don't expect to get rid of it otherwise because I don't think too many women are here buying leather jackets and it's pretty small.

I would place this in the find category not a deal at the asking price considering size and condition

 

[jonbuilder]

Oh boy I wish this Trojan was in my size.

Maybe I'm lucky it's not my size because the bidding is still going and it's way higher than I would ever pay. Maybe a company looking for a piece to reproduce? Really beautiful pattern this one, and grail worthy In my humble opinion. Back design, pocket design, checks all the boxes for me.

Nice prices in other countries...can never get Vinted to work for me.

Must have already sold! Was a vanson very similar to this one, in a 42, for really cheap

https://www.vinted.co.uk/men/clothes/activewear/sports-accessories/protective-items/2446305546-vanson-vintage-leather-jacket-used

If the CHP was a 40, I definitely would have already picked it up

Sellers on vinted are very unrealiable
