You wouldn't be persuaded to part with that tie? It's a cracker!

Not a chance, my friend. Got it at an antique shop for $2. Couldn't buy it fast enough and it's my fave.

Closer to the color. It's difficult to photograph accurately.

Don't look for a price reduction. It was unboxed, unbuttoned for the photographs, and rebooxed. Absolutely new.

Over 700 views and not a nibble.

This jacket took almost two years to deliver, and in the end, was two full sizes off. This is the easy way to get one, already made up, ready to go.

It can be a "tuff crowd" at times here in the classifieds.....some where a few dozen pages back, a pair of vintage cowboy boots have about 4 or 5 thousand views....and no bites at all. No nibbles......(not even a sneeze) ! LOL! But then out of the blue....someone buys some thing you have for sale. Your jacket will sell. It is too beautiful not to sell.

Only jackets I've seen pull close or more than what was paid are GW. I also heard that BK was offering a sale at 50% off or something in another thread...
BK just doesn't have the following or trust that other makers have, so I think the price will have to be lowered...nice jacket, but for $1k, most folks want custom.

 

[tmitchell59]

Maybe the current wave of BK bashing has something to do with it?

That's a BEAUTIFUL jacket, and one of the most detailed and professional ebay listings I've seen. Something I'd be excited over, but sadly too short, and I'm broke and out of work.

If there are GW A-2s struggling to move at $800 then your price may be a tad high in the current market.

eBay listing dropped to $900-- I have an offer just below that so one more shot here.

I neglected to mention the remarkable light weight of this jacket. It feels like a windbreaker. It is exactly the thing I've dreamed of for a decade or more. It's perfect. Absolutely perfect in terms of what I wanted. If it had been made to the measurements given, I'd never part with it. I'd wear it in the homeless shelter.

Well, no matter what it is a super sweet looking jacket. If I had the money the price would not sway the purchase.,....you know from 999 to 900 is not all that much a deal breaker and if anyone loved this jacket they should just muster up and buy it. I don't know that it would fit Daniel, and it is a few dozen sizes too big for me.....but you know you can buy this....it is a great jacket and sold by an A number 1 wonderful person to boot! LOL! 40 some odd days ago I had a spare $4,000.00 floating around...but not now....best of luck to Scott, stay the course and you have your cheerleading section making some noise in hopes it does sell for what you are asking.

Interesting jacket. I'd pull the trigger. However I'm looking for sizes 42-44 (about 22-24 inches chest). Almost wherever I look just 38-40 and the huuuge sizes 46-50+ show up for sale (here, eBay...). Almost impossible to find my size. Either there are not much 42-44 wearers or they are the most sought-after.
