    Levis LVC 1930s Menlo leather jacket

    That's true. You can not beat an original patina of a 70 year old leather jacket ... a fake is what it is: a fake ... better or worse.

    Levis LVC 1930s Menlo leather jacket

    To answer your question, this product should work for your jacket... if your jacket is dry that could be an option but from my experience it will darken the leather.

    Freewheeler jackets, possible outside of japan?

    Indeed it's a nice coat... but sadly not made for western hemisphere physique (athletic built). If you try your actual size it is too tight on chest, if you size up it is too wide on hip/hem... looks like you are wearing a skirt. Also the A-shape (bell-cut) in general isn't everyone's taste...

    Freewheeler jackets, possible outside of japan?

    Size 40" in vintage black from 2015 season available at: https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/topjimmy/item/fw_1531003/ But be warned, all (most) FW Leather Jackets are on the warm side due wool lining they use.

    Leather jacket pricing in classified thread - wishful thinking vs. actual market

    Also from my ebay (bad) experiences... often it has 50 - 70 watchers on an item you have on sale ... but in the end only 3-4 are bidding. It seems they are a lot of lurkers around... some yrs ago, sometimes you have to go thru a hefty bidding-battle.

    Leather jacket pricing in classified thread - wishful thinking vs. actual market

    @ton312 as I mentioned in my OP... the vintage market is another thing (maybe worth another thread)... right now, thinking about my best sale ever... made with a BUCO J-22 2nd type :rolleyes: But we should held this thread by: new made & in new or nearly new condition leather jackets these days...
