Inflation affects everything*. I can see inflation in a can of tuna, to clothing.~ I still wear a 1960sMBenz Nubuck leather trunk coat. It came free with the car, in case you had to change a tire in the rain. Quality lasts. Newer leathers are cheaper all around to squeeze every penny out of...

I’ll ad an observation. Most genuine vintage coats were before their info was barcoded, never mind that square QR thingie. Imitation’s are always inferior. :)

Thanks for that supportive info. I do not know about you but if cool water works as well as shown with the OP’s pics I’d skip any additives myself. GoodLuck!

It did not look like it had been mentioned. I stumbled on it, here for your first hand trading (imo) is a great buy for someone looking for one. Buy at your own discretion. https://www.ebay.com/itm/166646666015?itmmeta=01HRXDYS3BWV5TAEAR4ZPEV3TB&hash=item26ccea531f:g:9lkAAOSwv2pl6XOO Got to...

You must be that*:) interesting guy at the lounge. I’d suspect lighting to be influential. From what my menial online buying suggests. Thanks for the insights..... More to come I’d hope.....:)

Ok, I purchased one, clearly marked. Very reasonable. Shell: Imitation leather......:confused: Time awaits it. Other material: Viscose, Faux, or Polyester. Rock Republic in China.

Hmmmm. :confused:Banana, Cactus, Pineapple, heavily grained fruits & vegetable pastes PULSE many other abominated mixtures sold as Full grain or Top leather seems to BOTHER me. I’m, ...:rolleyes:slow,

Not experienced how to delete all. Gone-, THX!

AI 916, I was curious if you re-read this and see this inquiry, is your second pic. I do not doubt you know. Is that a natural finish? Pallister? Thanks!:)

Coldest was a while ago, in '78. People slept in their autos if trapped there.

If you’ve any interest LMK. This link shows the deal, with me as a third party intermediary. It's an often catch and release and it's as advertised. Coats nice but too tight for me. The wrists liners are 100% originally fine. I’d add the seller claimed the garment was bagged since new. I’d...

monitor: "Like Enfants Riches Deprimes or Vetements, Visvim clothes costs a lot. I recognize and it’s certainly great having your insights. I’m clueless other than Schotts quality 1 piece backs, and Aeros qualities. I’ve picked up a lot focused knowledge here. :) Be great to be riding again...

Considering dollars, that might be a different currency above.:oops: Oddly enough MBenz used to include the equivalent of throwaway leathers* with their spare tires in their 50s/60s autos trunks. It’s still my go-to. I believe it’s a no name Nubuck considered trunk coat. Exceptionally warm.

Kudos to you!

I’d add one thing. I’m probably late to the party. Animal Leather is a 400,000 yrs old commodity. Today, vegan, is as in not animal skins products. To me anything not animal is pleather. Cactus-mangos-etc. fibrous plants are not skins. Plastic or other based pleathers. No thanks. Chemical...
