Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[tmitchell59]

You offered 4 digits and got declined???!!!!! Dang man.......... Not totally unexpected but still........

67 Watchers, 16 bids in 12 hours, 8 bidders, and 6.5 days left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This one is as JUICY as it gets. I'm so glad I'm not in on this. Love that its NOT my size (first time I have every typed THAT statement)!!!!!!!!! I can be an objective observer.

Here's to the Warriors battling for this jacket. Freakin THUNDERDOME goin down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wrote to ask for the zipper date code. I thought they would let this one run given the early response. Glad to see it go to a worthy collector !

What's the Over Under on this baby!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!? Gonna be fun to watch what it fetches.

Really bizarre measurements. Can't possibly be right.

 

[Canuck Panda]

The straight zips like the iconic Hercules don't usually fetch the top dollars in Japan. The Xzips, especially the ones in demand, is a different story.

98k yen is about 700 USD

@tmitchell59 You can try selling your Top Notch aviators in Japan, they're asking 240k yen there, USD 1600+

 

[Claybertrand]

Yup, that was me.

@jeo Dude!!!!!!!! I don't know that a Horsehead was necessarily involved......... But you musta made a GODFATHER OFFER bro!!! That shit was headed for last second Nuke strikes for sure!!! While I am selfishly sad I will not be able to see the drama and carnage of the final flurry, to echo @tmitchell59, its going to a proper home. Helluva buy streak man. My wallet is sympathetically aching. Lol. Worth it though. This purchase may never be topped. Equaled??? Maybe. Topped??? No way in hell. Congrats!!!!! Better get a Vault built!!!!!!!!!

 

[dudewuttheheck]

Huge congrats @jeo thats awesome!!! We both got one within a month of each other! Yours looks to be in far superior condition which you deserve. Hope it fits well!

$50 shipped Sears Oakbrook (seller says size medium) - https://www.ebay.com/itm/275972533260

Really good entry point for someone just dipping their feet into vintage jackets in my opinion

Haha no no, just made strong offer that I was comfortable with. I probably saved myself some money as I have a feeling the bidding would have went over what I paid. I also would have been bidding against people I know that would have tried to sell me the jacket at an even higher price. That’s exactly what happened with the Leathertogs that sold recently.

Great when a rare jacket goes to a collector not a dealer/flipper.

Nice, interesting. Has cop badge holes, too. I'd be tempted if it was a 38. @dudewuttheheck?

Cool J-24 copy in FQHH.
Size 38 in Portugal:

225eu.
Might go for it myself if I can negotiate the price down, trying to get more measurement info. Most likely still too big for me.

Not sure if this is considered a find or a deal but I couldn’t resist this jacket at $25. It is a great brown color and weighs almost 5 lbs. It seems like a legit motorcycle jacket.

 

[AeroFan_07]

^^ Great price on a Hein Gericke. These are highly under-rated jackets for sure!

I had a $25 HG quite a few years back that I lent to a friend who had newly gotten a motorcycle. About a year after I asked if he still needed the jacket, and he offered me $100 for it...I didn't have the heart to accept it, just let him keep the HG.

Nice find and price! Legit riding gear with some hides looking better than others. This is one of those imo.

Gone. Not me. Skeptical about originality. Note lining adjustments inside. Just doesn't look original.
