Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[Al 916]

I don't think I have ever seen a long time ebay seller with NO feedback, either positive or negative. Weird. Jacket is nice, a fair price for me would be around $300.

Might just be no transactions in the last year.

It's his dad's jacket, so that's $300 sentimental value surcharge

that explains a lot! it's his perceived value, not the actual market value.

That's what I would say too ! The asked price does not reflect the true value of these jackets. Sellers sometimes don't know what to ask, that's much a matter of how much money you want/can put in them. Many posted jackets here are interesting by their history, quality, leather patina (finds), and sometimes when the price is low for what they represent, they are considered deals. When you find something you like, that is your size, the price becomes more subjective...

This one is in better shape. Leather has some issues anyway.

Closest thing I can think of----To my eye---this looks much like a Windward. It could be something different though because the Windwards of this style that I am thinking of have elasticated waist gathers in the hip areas. Because the photos do not allow for a super clear view of these areas, I can't ID it as a Windward. There is one photo where it appears there are no gathers----but it could be that they are simply stretched out and spent. I haven't seen one where the gathers were blown out badly enough for it to look like it didn't have them.

SO this could be a red herring-----wrong ID rabbit hole. At any rate, the price is too high. Sentimental or not. Especially in these times of high inflation and economic uncertainty. I have seen most non grail type jackets go for prices lower than what they perhaps would have brought even 6 months ago. Could just be me imagining this----but it seems that the BEDROCK OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY------VINTAGE LEATHER JACKET COMMERCE----is being hit with the same woes the rest of the world is. At least of late.

I will let esteemed Loungers have their say, maybe there is something I missed about the jacket, @tmitchell59 ?

This jacket? It doesn't appeal to me, nothing significant I can see. 50s horsehide with big collar

The high price is more a reflection of ignorance more than knowledge.

Geez, If I didn’t already have a suede trucker I’d really consider this one at $7.50

Seems like a nice copy of a brown Brooks CR in a 46.

This is a great looking Brooks leather motorcycle jacket. All zippers function properly. There are no issues whatsoever with this jacket. The leather is soft and shows no signs of cracking or degradation.
