Okay people, deal of the year is here. Hein Gericke cross zip, brand new.

These seriously are every bit as good as any Vanson. HG stuff may sometimes look questionable but the quality destroys most makers.
From the looks of it, this jacket is a beast. I almost clicked on BIN but... I don't need it. I'd just be selling it for a profit and since someone might actually need a cool cross zip... I think this is the best deal you'd ever hope to see.

And it's really beautiful, too.

I will pass for the same reason as Monitor. Somebody grab it!

I think the HG went poof. Btw, I have a large cotton HG I will sell for $45 shipped in US. I will take it to the classifieds...

Thanks for posting the HG @Monitor . I'm not 100% if the sizing will work but I'm going to give it a try.

Glad you got it! We seem to be about the same size no. right now, I think this'll fit you perfectly. HG's M is usually around the 42 range. Post photos of it when it arrives!

The color, the fabric, the style, cut... This should be acceptable even if you're like 98 years old.

Is there ANY particular reason this should cost three thousand dollars? Am I missing something?

Clearly from the "A" and "L" initials on the front of this historic piece, this is Abraham Lincoln's old Cafe Racer!!!!!!!!!!!! What a rare jacket!!!!!! This was the jacket he was actually wearing when he wrote the Gettysburg Address!!!! And he was gonna wear this jacket too when he gave the speech, but his wife was fed up with his weird eccentricities and she insisted he don a traditional non leather formal wear jacket. That always pissed Abe off too from what I understand.

Not to go all Young Indiana Jones from Last Crusade but...... ".....it belongs in a Museum!!!!!"

"Likely a vanson make but unsure..."
Why???
Because that bright yellow 4 inch wide "JUST LEATHER" label is soooo hard to see?

How about these for "Not Deals...More than New asking price for both and at least one has a rip in the lining...

Forget this seller. He doesn't even have some of those jackets. Each of the photo shows a different background and I recognize some of them on Yahoo Auction JP. e.g. this Harley jacket is still at the 2nd hand chain store in Japan. He doesn't even have it. Just like shorting.

There are couple of sellers like that, all from Japan. One had a Mad Max jacket that I wanted listed since forever. Whenever I'd ask him about more photos, they'd just send me something from Google. They all use the exact same photos for the jacket. What surprises me is that there aren't that many negative reviews so people must get something. That's a very pricey jacket from that one maker that only does Mad Max gear.

I have seen the opposite sometimes too. Mainly Langlitz.

So what you're saying is that they don't own the jacket they've listed but they might see an opportunity to buy the jacket cheap, and they only buy it after they've already sold it for a profit. Crazy people...

Seems to me it could be worth worth following him. He uses the same titles in his sales as the original sellers. Consequently you can find the original easily at the cheaper price and buy it from under him.
