Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[Jon Crow]

if this discussion was about my post, I was referring to the langlitz posted here for many thousands of dollars on ebay. The seller is not (to my knowledge) a lounger, nor (again, to my knowledge) is the jacket listed in the classifieds here.

I was questioning whether that ebay listing is a find or a deal, because given the price you could actually get two new ones directly from langlitz

The old ebay adage, are they asking that, or getting that price

I've been known in the past to buy ' potential ' jackets especially from Yahoo Japan and put the work in restoring them up, original replacement zippers, knits, restoring the leather, and either keep or sell on, I feel a higher asking price is justified in this case

Langlitz Deathhead Cascade, the vintage version of the current Cascade. When I ordered a brand new Langlitz (regular, not deathhead) Cascade in 2021, with all the options, it was $1,450 dollars plus taxes.

One deathhead Cascade actually sold in Japan Mercari 12 days ago, sold for ¥160,000, so about $1,000 dollars. Fair price for like new jacket that's immediate delivery imo. With the 10% coupon it can be just under a grand shipped. If it were different size I'd probably bought it haha.

buyee is probably the easiest one. I use FromJapan because they give me deals on shipping every now and then. There are others (proxies) too. But Buyee is the easiest one, I also use it sometimes when they have a good deal (coupon).
The Comet size 42 is 20.5" at the hem/waist.

An interesting find. A calfskin cop jacket with a fan-shaped Talon, looks 30s or 40s, expensive. Seller is (I think) out of Japan and has a trove of interesting, but expensive stuff.

Asia, Middle East. A very rare jacket with fan-shaped zippers on the front and both pockets. Length: 61cm. Sleeve length: 43cm. Even if you think to yourself, "But the item I want is only available in Japan.".
