Fantastic jacket and hat combination. We are similar sizes, I think, so I'll be watching with interest to see what jackets you put up for sale. Oh, happy birthday next month.Everyone and their brother hopping aboard the C2 train (rightfully so) it seems, but I'm happy with my OG C:

Anyway, I recently missed out on this Vanson Cheyenne in black suede. When I went to sleep there weren't any measurements provided so I waffled on it. The next morning the listing had been updated with pictures showing dimensions, and lo and behold, it was sold.:

So then I turned my eye to this Tenderloin roughout deerskin cossack. But alas, after telling myself I'd sleep on it, it was sold the next day following a price drop:

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times...not going to happen. Now I wouldn't consider this an impulse purchase because I've had my eye on this passively for several months ever since I started exploring the rabbit hole that is the Japan used market. Being on the lightweight end of the spectrum is a blessing and a curse because the choices are endless and the prices can be incredible, thus yielding some great deals (see above examples). But having missed out on two other jackets in the past couple days I ended up pulling the trigger on something pretty unique:

Definitely won't be be garnering the universal acclaim of the C2, but I'm pretty chuffed for this one. I figure I'll let stew in the Buyee warehouse for most of the 30 day free storage window and then have it delivered right before my birthday. Plus that'll give me a month to sell some other stuff to raise funds since I stretched my budget a bit on this. But the opportunity to own a 1 of 5 limited edition (with only 1 made in each size, so 1 of 1 for me) was an extremely strong draw. After doing a reverse image search and digging in deeper on the story behind the development of this jacket I knew I had to make a play for it.
