Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[stitchdown]

If you are looking on Vinted US, I doubt it any of the European brands worthy of your time will pop up. As for the US ones, I don't know how popular the service yet is in the States but all the usual suspects should start appearing with time.

I was talking in regards to the euro site actually. There's not a lot on the usa site currently.

Hum... Lewis Leathers of course, Harro, Polo, Chevignon, Redskins, Mascot, etc. There's many and European brands are not well known so it's a trial and error method for me but at this point, I can pretty much tell what makes a good jacket, just from the photos. You can always PM me with something you think looks good, maybe I can help you out.

Am I remembering incorrectly, or is it difficult / impossible to buy from the European Vinted site if you're based somewhere non-EU and vice versa?

Bates run small. If this were a 44 or 46 you never would have seen it.

Someone must've returned this bad boi as it's back on sale. It's just too cool. I know you can make one yourself but there are SO many cool pins on it... If I had infinite amount of money, I'd buy it in a nano-second, just to have it exhibited on a wall as a work of art. Anyway... Pricey, I know, but nothing new you can buy will top this in the cool department.

Love the belt closure on this guy.

This is the Californian jacket that the GW Imperial is based on. I've only seen one other. A real beauty!

That is interesting information.

Terry, please keep in mind the Hercules was also part of the inspiration. Really it’s a mash-up of the two.
The cuffs, strap height, front drop are all from this jacket. It was later on that John got an actual Hercules to make his version from, so they are two different models.
