Rainbow Country Hercules size 40 - Black teacore

[philli]

Cost me $31 to ship an RC Hercules insured from coast to almost coast fwiw

Full insurance with the declared value?

 

[philli]

I can adjust my price to whatever the total comes out to be, im just not sure at the moment

 

[philli]

So its $880 + shipping, insurance, and paypal transaction fees.

Minus the transaction fee if we do zelle or paypal F&F

Yeah

I usually use UPS as i have found them more reliable so im a bit skeptical they would only charge that amount. Shipping something to Florida with a declared value of 900 usd insured costed me like 65 bucks ish (they also packed it for me with a box)

DM’d and convinced Philli to let it go. Thanks Philli!!! It fits perfectly. It’s an excellent jacket. .. and BTW did I mention “It fits perfectly “ like 1/4 to 1/2 room all around. Good shoulder action. I have many HH half belts Aero, vintage, EMLC Californian is closest and expected RC to be similar. But they are not. One is not totally better than the other. They are just different. The ELMC is lighter and the leather hangs nicely. The rainbow leather is thicker / heavier but moves almost as well. If I had to chose I’d go with the Rainbow but only because the EMLC fits like my vintage 1/2-Belt jackets.

Glad to hear, and yes one thing i did notice with the rainbow country hercules is that they definitely use a thick and heavy horsehide but the leather is still pliable and allows for good mobility. Enjoy it!

Great condition, thick horsehide with wonderful grain. Contrast tan color stitching.
The Waldes zipper failed early in ownership and I had it professionally replaced with YKK zipper which works much better.

Shoulder - 18.5"
P2P - 21.5"
Sleeve - 24.25"

I am 75% certain it was Nivelo Shoe Repair on Mosholu Ave in The Bronx. It’s been a few years and I don’t live in NY anymore. They are a tiny local store with no online presence other than a Google listing.
