I used to think the what are you wearing thread was dangerous. This is far worse. I sort of click on now with one eye open like please let there not be anything good LOL

A couple of these are off on size for me, thankfully, but just barely almost to the point of, I can lose 25 pounds (but then how would my other 11 jackets fit??? no time for logic). I really need to stop anyway, but it's so hard to pass on such a good deal. Thankfully I've got a couple preteen boys that are chips off the block. So if i error on the side of maybe too small, they'll find a good home. That Natal is just stunning at that price or regardless

Definitely a find, but the best example of a 40s Beck Aviator that I have seen.

This is incredible. Like you said a find at that crazy high price. But I have never seen an example that perfect. Wow. I’d like to just be able to look at it.

Exactly what I thought. Man, I’d like to see it, touch it, examine it, and at that price, gently put it back.

This is a German as far as I can tell, vintage motorcycle police leather jacket. I've handled one exactly like it, it is an absolutely incredible, unmatched piece. These were still made the old school way, many of the details, stitching, etc. are still on the level of the pre-WW2 leather jackets made in Germany which were of course unparalleled.

Leather is usually very heavy and always extremely sturdy. Just something about it that has that armor vibe. The whole thing is just very cool and classy.

I'm thinking of getting the set myself...

Seller also has a matching trousers, same uniform set so... It's a really good find, but the jacket alone is worth it.

This is an odd one: a really decent Trojan repro pattern-wise. Leather is puzzling, though.

There is a rather nice Noeshor horsehide jacket going on Aussie eBay right now

The same jacket with a Schott label would not likely be asking such a high price

Jean Shop CR in M. Rare af as it stands, USA made ones are even more rare. Pricey but not moreso than anything else we like and definitely at the same level so...

These run large so it's definitely closer to L from my experience.

Was thinking about this one for myself, but just completed a recent purchase and really don't need to buy two jackets back to back. It's a beauty of a jacket. The 55J14 (AER) model was produced in 1947, and it is in incredible condition for its age. Not even any moth holes! The starting price is really quite low, too.
