    Leather Police Jackets

    Wait-amminit! Are CPD Jackets really as valuable as someone said? If so, I should probably jump on this, then? http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/clo/2726919498.html It's not my size, but if it's as 'holy-grail' as they say, couldn't I just resell it?!

    Vintage Western shirt

    I for one think it's gorgeous, but I personally think the bib-fronted shirts really should only be worn half buttoned with the un-buttoned side hanging down over the front of the shirt, just like the cavalry folks in those old westerns used to do!

    Straight to Hell Apparel: any thoughts on these bad boys?

    http://straighttohellapparel.com/sth/category/shop/ Halfway down the page and you'll see their pretty nice looking motorcycle jackets. Seems to be of pretty good quality, and they cost about two and a half. My two cents: I don't like that they reversed the sides of the front zipper, but it's...

    Help on and Item! (Fred Hayman's Giorgio)

    It's most definately from some time in the 70's, its white rabbit fur on the middle area with wool arms and detail. No Tag size given but fits a men's medium/Large. Though it might be a ladies, not too sure. Pics are below. I'm looking for an approximate value before I put it up on eBay. By...
