All this talk about Durable in the other thread made me google it to see what's out there (yeah, I need a life), and this popped up:

Not a fan of flight jackets, but this is magnificent. If I was into them I'd seriously buy this and never look back, repros be damned including GW.

Ebay says I missed out on it.

I think the seller's strategy, setting a really hight reserve, really 'tainted' this jacket. I'd be surprised if there will be a bidding war on it when/if the jacket is relisted.

This is precisely the strategy some sellers use that makes me never bid on their items. A “test” auction (which essentially tells the seller nothing, as the reserve will make many bidders coy), only to slap the last placed bid as the opener for the next auction. I have no faith in faithless sellers and this one is a clown. Probably would’ve hit $3k without the greed/ fear mongering. But these are people who don’t know jack shit. I hope it sells for $350 and the next owner turns it into a vest. LOL.

These J-24 are nice jacket I have one with the wool lining I paid $1,200 for 15 years ago or I would hit the BIN I might do it anyway fair warning
go for it. I think it has a newer zipper though. Very sweet deal anyway. It's too short for me at 6'0. I've got a few already on the short side and it's a certain sort of look. Don't want a closet full of them. Going for more ever green jackets now.

Soooo well said. I share the exact same sentiment. Especially the Vest part :p:p:p. This Seller is a total feminine hygiene sack. ;)
