I'm not going to ask the seller for measurements in order to protect myself from spending crazy money lol.

"No size, ask for measurements. I'd say its a medium tho."

Why on earth doesn't he just include them in the listing? No one is going to bid without knowing measurements.

This. I've never understood the "Message me for measurements" thing. More work for everyone involved. Does me head in.

...just a thought. Possibly he/she recognizes that many people are not on the same page with regard to measuring a leather jacket and figures it best to have a detailed discussion with a prospective buyer to make sure all are on the same page....along the lines of "call me, if interested" in the old days.

Unless I am buying from someone on here, I always question a seller concerning how they took the measurements and, in many cases, the numbers change after such a discussion.

Simply add pics with the measuring tape, easy as that. No detailed discussions needed.

It's common sense, isn't it? I share the following not to sound contentious, but simply to give a perspective. As an older person, the topic of "What is common sense?" in the digital world is a bit of a hot button for me. Not that long ago, the only classifieds to be found were in...gasp... newspapers....and you did not include photos.

I have been corrected numerous times due to my ineptitude concerning computer/internet/social media etiquette. Heck, just this past week I got "introduced" to some doorbell gadget at a neighbor's house and they laughed at me because I had no idea what to do. Years back I remember a young insurance person who was utterly baffled that my 80+ year-old mother with dementia could not figure out how to do something on-line.

There are a whole bunch of us out there today who were busy surviving as adults while ebay, internet forums, etc. arose. We had to learn along the way...oftentimes, not very effectively. Stuff that is "common sense" to you may not be to an older person.

As a high school teacher, I could point to numerous hilarious situations where my young high school students lack "common sense" about the real world. Last month, I was at the tire store and a 20-something guy had absolutely no idea what a tire alignment was. I've learned not to judge, because younger people today have grown up in a different world than I. Bottom line...."common sense" is not that common today in a world that is evolving at warp speed.

Not half bad for a 118 either. This place is just a couple miles down the road from me around Chicago and Ashland, been there forever. Had no idea they carried Schott.

It seems like the reason for these crazy prices is that this is stock from a few years ago (so lower base prices) combined with the hefty sale going on. Lots of good stuff, including otherwise discontinued models like the 525 (CHP/Perfecto hybrid):

Never seen anything in this color from anyone of the catalogs. I love that collar and the color. Looks like someone didn't like green and chose not to wear it. This jacket is from the 1950s.

I ask for measurements.

I assume it will be sitting there for some time.
