The short answer is no.
The thread below was perceived by some as a shill thread by an affiliate (who didn't say so upfront), but it tells the story and shows the current level of quality. Please read through and make your own judgment...
I dont think the listing is accurate. This place is selling it for much more and the ebay seller is likely acting as a proxy.
As far as being counterfeit, I cannot imagine there is a huge market for Y'2 leather to make a counterfeit operation worthwhile, but maybe I'm wrong.
I'd love to visit Saville Row for a bespoke suit then off to Northampton for bespoke shoes by Gaziano and Girling and Crockett and Jones. I just need to win the lottery first here in the USA, lol.
Ton, great points.
Speaking of gambling, I watched a basketball game on ESPN the other night and could not believe the number of DraftKing plugs/commercials I saw. I fear for the men that are sucked into that as an addiction.
The great thing about jacket collecting is that it's open to many economic classes. The more expensive jackets are still attainable for many middle/upper-middle-class people like myself. It's a big tent with people of many backgrounds.
The same cannot be said for the highest-end watches and...
I like the thrill of the hunt and trying new stuff. I want to decrease my collection and have been more willing to trade or sell here to cut out the fees from eBay. is there something wrong with my dopamine reward system, yes, probably. I gave up drinking years ago, so this and other pursuits...
Okay, I cannot succumb to temptation on this one. Someone snap it up. A size 40 Indian Sugar Cane jacket for about $420 shipped from Japan. The measurements look like a trim 42 as noted in the comments where I asked.
Measurement and pics from a size 38 for reference...
Cool jacket in a size 40 or so. I know nothing of the maker, so don't fillet me if this is some made in China abomination, but the leather is unique. It's only $145 USD plus shipping from japan.
Hey Ton, that's a great question. This was sold as a Herms and has the red lining and dual interior chest pockets I believe.
I wonder if Herms contracted with Pasaic and sold under the Herms name, like a Walter Dyer business model? Herm was based out of Easton PA which isn't too far from NJ.
Good luck! I can't imagine any of the the local yinzers having any clue what that stuff is, or what the market would be for it. I'm sure it will turn up somewhere. If they do show up it'll be on Marketplace I bet.
