That guy's most certainly mafioso. I'd take a whack at a bid but you know...

 

[Big J]

Is the hat included in the auction?

 

[Dav]

Snappy dresser!

 

[Sir Jacket]

Oh my. Snappy indeed. SJ

 

[Feraud]

What? No matching sneakers??

 

[Stand By]

What an absolute shame. The alligator wore it better.

 

[Otter]

Is that a jacket or a gator skin tent?

What an absolute shame. The alligator wore it better.

+1!!

If it were me, I'd like the sleeves a tad shorter, but to each his own. Frank

 

[tropicalbob]

Very minimal.

 

[Big J]

As a jacket, it's bloody awful.
But if the price was right, it could be worth buying it to make the wife matching boots, belt, handbag, purse, key fob, iPhone cover...

Makes me wonder if there's a jacket style that would look... wearable in this skin.

Makes me wonder if there's a jacket style that would look... wearable in this skin.

It could be interesting in somethingl ike a Sunburst, or as accent pieces. That this jacket is so poorly cut (makes it look like one of those awful PVC fancy dress things....) it's an insult to any animal to put its hide to something this awful. I quite like the look of croc skin, though I don't fancy anything actually made from it. I have a pair of cow leather shoes with a croc look stamped in it, though. They're pretty cool.

Any moral objection aside, I'd be worried about legal complications of buying something like this. I'm sure in many countries it would be illegal to import.

Alligators aren't an endangered species. There are more than a million of them out in the Everglades near here.

The crocodile/Converse all-stars from the same seller are kind of interesting.

From the same E-Bay seller:

A lot of customs are a bit funny about anything other than run of the mill leather, though.

Tell me that isn't a bloody giraffe he's wearing. It's like Mr Burns' "See My Vest" song [video=youtube;qsFHEK_o9U8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsFHEK_o9U8&feature=kp[/video]
