For the big guys... Bit pricey for a red-label Brooks but accepting offers, and I can't remember the last time I saw a size 54.

The collar's leather, anyway... Seller sent me an offer for $69.99 just for looking at it.

Oy, seeing those prices... If I had a time machine, I think shopping at Sears would make my Top Ten things to do. Even adjusted for inflation, in 2020 US dollars the surcoats would come in at around $290, the motorcycle jacket at around $270, and the one the model's wearing at just under $200.
Speaking of J.C. Penney... Tagged 44, but measurements would make it more like a 40, and some stitching and lining repairs needed, and I gotta say the shipping charge is head-scratching for Parcel Select...BUT, with all that said...the price is only $90, and goodness, this. is. lovely. If it...
Too small for me, luckily or unluckily.
When I see mold on the outside what I really worry about is mold on the inside. I don't mind washing a leather jacket (well, if I have to), but nothing short of removing the liner entirely and looking at what's in there would set my mind at rest. It's...
Okay, it's that seller, and sure, there's some serious mold risk (pffft, whatever), and the jackets produced by "Speed leather TRADE MARK BONAVENTURE" probably had more issues than just the brand name. But the design... I think I love it...
Schott G-1, Sz 42. $75 (with offer) + shipping. Haven't been able to get a response from the seller regarding measurements & a closer look at the collar.

Yes, a women's, with the front arranged as it is. Also, given the 23" back, I'm figuring 16" shoulders and about 21.5" sleeves (I think the seller must have measured from the neck to get 28"). What a price, though (if it doesn't get bid up), even with that zipper issue. (What causes that?)...
It is delicate, and it always makes you think about how much you really do want the jacket, which is good. If I decide I do want a remeasure, I'll usually mention to the seller how everyone measures jackets differently, and so would he mind remeasuring in these very specific ways...? I feel...
Admittedly, not a great way to confirm, but I just measured the back, shoulders, and sleeves of the jacket in the front image and then the back image, worked out the proportions, then figured the actual shoulder and sleeve lengths based on the listed back length, and got the same results both...
Sporty's Pilot Shop AN-J-3, medium, for $60 + $7 shipping. Great deal, I think? Newer, Pakistan-made version, looks like, and though I've never had one, my understanding is that these are solid quality. I'd have already snapped this up but I'd want a slimmer fit and Sporty's jackets appear...
