Looking for vintage brands of leather car coats

[SaddleStitchCarl]

Hi! I’m currently searching like a mad man for good deals of a leather car coat. I currently do not have the budget for anything above 200$. Brands ive considered are things like Sears Leather Shop, Montgomery Ward, but is there anyone who knows of any other brands to look out for on ebay?
Thanks for any replies.

Look into WB place & co.
I just scored a WB Place deerskin car coat on Ebay for $60, it was originally listed at $145 with no takers and I had been watching it for months so they offered it to me for $60.

Right, so I know there's an entire sub-forum devoted to this but... Not only do I constantly keep forgetting about it (and I don't think I'm alone on this) but since it's intended for general vintage finds of all kinds, there's just too many stuff to browse through - so - how about a thread...

At around $300, a lot of options would open up for you. See the following link for some brand recommendations.
