My first jacket purchase in over a year and I have sold 4 or 5 vintage jackets. I do not know I all ready have two Cal racers. I moving to a ranch just outside of Grass Valley CA next week. Once I get settled in I am considering put a couple of jackets on TFL

I ended up returning this jacket, the seller accepts returns, primarily because the sleeves were too short. The hide was a bit of disappointment.
I did a comparison with a similar cut Cal racer here in a Cal tread https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/cal-leather.89250/page-12

I have a cream one in better condition that I can not find a buyer for on eBay at $795 and here I believe it is $750 tagged size 40. This puppy is slightly larger I would guess it was a tagged size 42

I just checked and this was my jacket I bought from a fellow member and tried to sell here first. This buyer bought it from me on eBay for $550.

I would refuse to buy this jacket out of principle then. Screw the gougers.

 

[JMax]

I get the principality of it. I tend to underprice my sales so it is a bit of a turn off. But this is not too crazy a bump in price. There is an offer option and eBay fees are stupid. Seller isn’t making out like a bandit.

$550 is a really nice price.

I agree. The fees suck so a minor increase is understandable to try to make your initial investment back. If you look it up you can see all my original measurements on the classifieds.

Just for clarity, I had to do a deep-dive into my eBay account past 90 days. They offered $550. I countered and accepted at $600. They just threw it up on classifieds for $599 but only through eBay.

$600 is still a nice price for the jacket.

I instantly DM’d them for the price: asking $1200 + shipping.

If think I would go as high as $850 (if it were my size).

Condition looks to be like new. A new jacket from a repro maker easily costs $1k+ nowadays, so why not pay a similar price for an exceptionally nice vintage piece like this that will probably hold its value better than a repro?

$850 would be eBay price though, not fleamarket price . In any case, $1200 is insane for a halfbelt.

Original Highwayman motorcycle trousers for 15 freaking Euros. @torfjord? I can't buy anything from this site, gotta ask people to help me out, otherwise would've BIN'd 'em. Maybe someone else wants this piece of history?

Really nice. But do you have to be in Austria to buy from that site?

@MrProper ?

Yep. I guess you could ask the seller for int'l shipping? @MrProper helped me out a great deal several times but I don't want to make a habit of it.

 

[MrProper]

It just depends on the seller. Just ask if he also ships outside Austria.
I can gladly do the proxy, but I can ship only from the beginning of September.
