Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

And this is JL’s naked cow— so it is nice.

Did JL make that jacket, then? I know Leather Man had stocked some Cals under their label, but I wasn't sure who made this particular jacket.

Chevignon is one of those high quality makers that's often overlooked and okay, 80% of their designs is... Meh but when they get it right, they get it right.

Vanson horsehide? Why not. On Vinted, anything seems to be possible!

It looks like a JL and the small label with M500 on it confirms it. This jacket always catches my eye. My favorite stock JL.

I think some of our colleagues on TFL might proxy if we ask real nice. Is Poland part of Vinted community? I have family there.
Edit - looks like it isn't...pretty select group of countries, including tiny Lithuania.

I'm happy to proxy to the US if one of you guys sees his dream jacket on there....

I say no, keep your hands off our European stash

You Americans already have your infinite eBay US supply.

I know I've shared this one before, but for its condition, this jacket seems like a really good deal. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Police-Motorcycle-Leather-Jacket/192738274053

$150 JL cross zip, size 46.

Then there's a steerhide one that doesn't turn up if you search for Aero...

It's got the steerhide tag and all, and the seller still tags it as cheval.
The worst thing about vinted is by far the search tool, luckily we have @Monitor on our side.

Don't forget Poshmark and stuff like that that doesn't even ship outside USA! Not to mention Craigslist with $15 Buco J-24's, $25 Langlitz Leathers and $50 Vanson horsehides!!!

I can say "horse" and "leather" in 11 languages, I swear! XD

Vinted has a US site (www.vinted.com), but I could not find any cool jackets there. Looks like vinted.nl is where the action is.

This is scary. I indeed bought it earlier this afternoon. How do you know this? Are you the seller?

Haha No, I'm not him. I had this jacket on my fav for almost 2 months, but I didn't buy it 'cause I saw its sleeves too long for me. I asked several times for measurements but seller had ZERO feedback, so I got it out of my mind. I could have bought it for selling, but this ain't my thing.
Enjoy it @Marc mndt !

@Monitor is going to enjoy this one.

By the way, I got feedback within minutes hehe. I guess the seller must not have liked you

@Marc mndt helped me out (again) and got it for me the moment I spotted it. I feel like I've been given a chance I don't deserve at this jacket but this time, I'm keeping it. Plus I always really wanted a brown one so this is more than perfect.

@Leather Walker, stuff like this you don't wait on. This jacket has longer sleeves, that's true but everything else more than makes up for it. I wonder how it'll compare to Natal but it shouldn't be any different, plus it looks just as massive. I'll put together a quick review in the WD thread.

It's possible! hehe
Congrats, Monitor! I know you'll enjoy it more than I do

@Robbie79 - your size, this thing looks mint.

I gotta have my belt covered at least at 25" body length. Up above the belt heading toward the belly button just looks absurd and hickish IMO.

HD, I am like you, I like to cover my belt. I know you ride a motorcycle. How do your jackets fit ON the bike. Some of my jackets form a "bubble" around my chest area when I sit on my bike. Do you have this "issue"?

 

[HoosierDaddy]

I have had that happen over the years but a more dedicated MC jacket like a Vanson or some Schotts don't seem to be a problem. Most of my other leather jackets are for street wear.
