Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[Aloysius]

This is a really cool little story actually. First time I've seen someone post a VIDEO to an ebay listing.

I saw this thing and was like "wow, the patches are kind of busy but I think collectors like them with the original patches."

Seller is a USN vet and is selling his own personal G-1 that he sewed patches on since his service started in the 1990s. He collects them and has a bunch already.

Apparently he was a photographer for the navy which is kind of cool. He has a one-minute video explaining his decision of why he's selling it, and he also has a 1977 corvette for sale for 2 g's, also with a video. Seems like a really nice guy!

Hopefully someone links him up with the VLJ guys. He'll get a better price (no eBay fees) and probably make some friends while at it.

nice old car coat with lightning zips. Looks to be roughly size 46 by modern standards (even tho the seller lists it as medium). I would nab this if the sleeves were 2-3 inches longer

The intense Lost Worlds discussion on another thread left me jonesing for a LW A-2. Lo and behold this Japanese eBayer had one in my size (38) for $300. I bought it, but here is another one in a smaller size (36) for $350 (note, it will eventually need a cuff replacement).

After I liked the items, the seller did send offers - this one was marked down to 320.

This appears to be an actual seller (not a proxy) and has listed a number of quality A-2s and other interesting clothing items, for what look to be okay prices.

Not sure if its a proxy or the shop, but that ones up on Mercari for about $220

https://jp.mercari.com/en/item/m96905550166

The markup is not bad if they offered $320 on this, the seller is a vintage shop so the eBay store could be theirs as well.

Thanks. I have yet to shop on the Japanese market.

I think you are right, the one I posted is a proxy store. The Mercari posting is for “#funVintageStore” and that is most of the items that the eBay seller I posted offers (the photos are watermarked). The eBay seller just basically stole this Mercari store - unbelievable!

I’m not buying anything else from Japan on eBay… too much uncertainty.

I actually removed my post.

Very tempting. Don’t have anything in this style. Any experience with four speed? How does it compare to some of the other top Japanese makers?

I have an Ironheart jacket made by 4 speed. I think the quality is good, but I'm not the type to agonize over stitch count and all that other stuff.
