FOR SALE SPEED DEMON LW SIZE 42R

[fabiofades]

Hello, I am selling my speed demon because it is too small for me since I increased my sports sessions. I've worn it about ten times at most, it's barely broken in. There are all crown zippers and seamless back. I'm asking $2,000 for it. I live in France, I can deliver anywhere. I send all photos with measurements in cm. Tell me if you want more information

OP, this is a genuine question. These retail for $2200. Why would anyone pay near retail for a jacket that wasn't custom-fitted for them?

Are you famous, like Fabio Lanzoni where this would command a premium, LMAO?

Just by looking at the photos, I can see that there is at least $600 of alterations & extras on this jacket, plus there's no wait time and of course, not to mention that not having to deal with Stu is something I would gladly pay extra for.

There isn't anything truly custom about having a custom Lost Worlds. If the sleeve & back length of this jacket fits, there's absolutely nothing else that buying directly from LW would have gotten you so while the price perhaps is on the higher-end, this still is a good deal for a good jacket.

Dear Sir, let me tell you that you are wrong. All zippers are modified. The jacket is only from last March. Here is the invoice which proves it.

I stand corrected. This would be good to add to the listing as additional selling points.

That said, are you Fabio Lanzoni, LOL, JK.

I've never had a jacket with crown zippers, so I didn't know they sold at a premium. This is good info.

They’re the best zips I’ve tried. Beefy and very smooth action. Not easy at all to find these zips anymore, hence the premium.

I think because of zippers and the back modification, 600 zippers, 250 one piece back, that's 3k plus the customs, we looking nord of 3600 US
I just saw the bill now.. it's close to that amount after paying everything

Here is the complete invoice with the date of purchase. Given the beast, it will still take a while to do it.

You may want to black out your personal email as well as the LW bank routing and account info. Never know with bots scraping information.

I'm keen to try the crown zips to see what the fuss is about. I assume LW probably uses NOS versions.

I have handled a few of these particular crown zippers and they are truly bulletproof. Feel infinitely stronger than any other vintage zip. LW does use NOS zips.

I was thinking the same thing. Scary digital world we live in.

Pit to pit measurements?

Lovely jacket! In addition to pit to pit measurement, could you post some fit pics, and indicate your height and weight?

The shoulders width looks like size 40 to me. Also the sleeves length looks like 24.5 or so from the measurement pic? Did you order this with slightly shortened sleeves? Could be the way the tape is put against the jacket in the pic.

Also what weight is the jacket pls?
