Some (or a carpet bombing of) accumulated finds. All US-made, I think.

Unlabeled pea coat, needing a little restitching, but nice. Judging by the photos, I think the listed 20" pit to pit could be off. Looks bigger. That, or the shoulder measure is off. $70 w/ offer.

I had one in that same honey caramel color and it looks great up close, especially with the purple sheen lining. I'd still have it if it hadn't been too small. You might be pleasantly surprised once you see it. FWIW, a Brooks in that color doesn't show up as often as in other colors...
Well, Terry (and lots of others) would know more than I. I hope I didn't play the older Brooks jackets down too much, as I do really like them. If you see one you like, in your size, and in good shape, for a reasonable price (and there should be plenty fitting that description), I wouldn't...
I'm sure (or at least, I hope) others with more experience than I have will chime in, but having had a few of the gold label ones, I would say that they are perfectly serviceable jackets of perfectly adequate (though not overly fastidious) construction in A-OK steerhide; most look good, some...
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but on the subject of Banana Republic jackets, I completely agree. Here's mine, from 2010.
The leather is supple and has some really nice color variation in it, and the construction isn't bad. The cotton lining is really comfortable and the...
Had this $199 (w/ offer) Herc in my watchlist and seller sent me an offer for $150, but I don't think I'll get it. No great full-front pictures of it in the listing, but does appear to be in good shape. Seller measures interior p2p at 22".

I'm not man enough to rock this collar, but maybe someone else here is.

This was the jacket that got me into leather jackets. I was obsessed with it for a while, then after I'd seen some others I wondered what I'd ever seen in this one. Though, looking at it again, now, it doesn't look so bad. I run hot and cold, I guess.
I don't know what it is, but the seller says it weighs about twelve pounds. It's about to snap that plastic hanger it's on, and I think the jacket's hanging weird on it. I'd like to see it lying flat. Normally I'd worry about long-term shoulder warping on a jacket on a hanger like this, but I...
