Dude!!!! This is a TRAVESTY how little respect Branded gets....... you can't buy a freakin' Windbreaker at Walmart for that price..... (OKAAYYYYYYY you probably CAN....but it would suck and you KNOW it would!!) Very underrated jackets IMO.
I agree, Branded should have more of a reputation than they do, BUT they chose a fairly stupid name for their brand. "Awesome jacket! What brand is that?" "Branded." "Yeah, what brand though?" "It's Branded." "Right, nothing that good would be an un-branded jacket." "Quite so." "Who's on second?" "No, I told you, Who's on first." I believe this hurts their recognition, or at least muddies search results for their name in the internet age. Anyone searching for branded leather jacket is likely to find Schott branded jackets, Dainese branded jackets, Alpine Stars branded jackets, Langlitz branded jackets, Vanson branded jackets...
Also, the seller in this case seems to be a chain of stores called The Exchange, which if it's the The Exchange that I'm familiar with, is basically a pawn shop for movies, video games, and music, so it's pretty weird to see them selling a leather jacket at all. Probably they have no idea it's actual value, and are trusting the market to set the price, which is what you want as a buyer, not at all a travesty.

Unlike Chevy Nova, where No Va means Not Going in Spanish...
In the early 80s, some company here in the U.S. began marketing a Weight Loss product that was in the form of a chocolate bar like snack. That company had the unfortunate luck of calling their product AIDS.
Annnnnnnnnddddd, yeah. SHOCKER: They aren't around anymore.
Marketing can be the death of a product or business.

LOL, I remember that. Imagine the discussions. Kind of like Corona beer nowadays. Imagine all the effort, dollars, time to market and then your name gets tagged with some medical catastrophe. There's been funny more racier examples as well, but I won't go thereIn the early 80s, some company here in the U.S. began marketing a Weight Loss product that was in the form of a chocolate bar like snack.

another LOL. I remember a while back a few mentioned Leather Man. The number of hits wasn't the issue in that search so much. You really had to narrow it down to find jackets.And now imagine trying to set up an eBay search for Durable.
Durable leather jacket? 293,683 hits. Vintage Durable leather jacket? 23.490 hits. Vintage Durable leather jacket 50's motorcycle horsehide? 8.837 hits. Marlon f***ing Brando jacket from the f***ing movie? 293,683 hits.
