Am I right in saying that only the first two of that selection are of the reversible variety? That first one is to die for. Do you still have it as I'd seriously consider buying it if you had a mind to sell it.
flat-top said:I have a huge collection of these jackets (not all reversible) that I never wear anymore but don't have the heart to sell.
If the market was booming I might have to put a few on eBay, but I don't think it is.
So I'll wait. It seems the entire "scene" has gone backward and is clammoring for 1930's stuff...myself included. Japan really dictates what the vintage market wants at this point, and Rockabilly stuff ain't it.repeatclicks said:Youre right. They are averaging about $150-250 right now, even the rare pink and white/black ones.

My all time favorite was this one, which sold last week on the bay for $186 (a steal really), its not reversible, but you dont see too many with the side panels... did this one go to a lounger?

So far I've "found" 37 Ricky jackets, and I think there are more. I'll have to take some pics of the really cool ones. They're mostly vintage with only a handful of repros. Stay tuned!
