Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

Great question. It’s super nice looking. My first thought was branded but the snaps don’t bear that out. Maybe Lesco but don’t recall them making a CHP like that. The gussets look Lesco-ish. I have no clue TBH.
$70 to ship…seller is a dickhead.

Where are you that it shows $70 shipping, east coast? Ebay is showing me $24...I thought it looked a little like Natal and early Branded (before they put their name on the snaps, but none of them do the gussets like that to my knowledge...

When I click the link and it opens eBay on a browser I’m not logged into it shows $121 for shipping lol!

When I open the eBay app I’m logged into it shows $77 for shipping.

Outrageous either way!

I want this, but I have too many of these. I had a Hercules by this maker years ago. It was a similar size, but sewn belt. This is the same jacket @JMax recently acquired after selling his CSC Hercules. These are very nice. I'm trying to sell this so I don't buy it!!

Exactly, why would you put the markup on the shipping when the buyer can easily determine how much something like that costs to ship. Wouldn't it have made more sense to sell it for $300?

Sellers on eBay do dumb stuff sometimes.

ebay takes an equal cut of your shipping too.

Awesome jacket. Lighter, thinner hide than the HH on the CSC version. Easy to wear MC jacket. Not a deep black either. French seams. Zips on top of sleeves. Bit longer than the CSCs and nice front drop. Other little design differences. What’s not to like?

LVC Thunderbird. Size tag is large, description says 54cm/21.2" p2p. Condition and price seem pretty good.

Got excited for a second, then I saw the condition. Crazy ask.

<p>Well worn, zipper needs to be sewn back to jacket, and front right pocket has come undone. There is some pilling in the lining, however seems to be complete with no holes. Lots of possibilities with this jacket, still has lots of life with authentic wear.</p><br /><p>Approximate...

It did look like goatskin. I was probably a bit too cautious with a wear spot on the shoulder - it had life left. Beautiful jacket, I especially liked the button closure

I may have seen that jacket and saw something I disliked

Shoulda kept my Eagleson’s. Buyer knows I have a standing offer to buy it back. He isn’t as impulsive as I am. lol. Smart dude.

Nice description. They are a tad longer. I'm waiting on another jacket, but I'm still tempted. Hope it will be around.

I asked the seller about back length, 23" he said. Similar to the CSC ones.

This looks great but I’ve never gotten around to figuring out how to buy from these Japanese sites.

Back length is 23.5”. Thought it would be more but it definitely is longer and really wears longer than the CSC. I had both at the same time. But yes, typical short jacket.

Mine has the same 20” S2S as the one just posted but with a 24” P2P. Massive front drop- 3” or so. That number was unexpected. I can layer a sweater under this jacket. Not so with other jackets having similar measurements.

Yes, they do wear longer than a CSC jacket.

This is the same maker doing the jacket with a sewn belt. I recall this guy was big and I had it when I was bigger.

I'm thinking the sewn on belt was the 2nd edition, the different front pocket.

This is an incredible Grizzly jacket IMO. Too small for me, but maybe for the smaller guys on here:
