What makes that market prices for one vintage brand are higher than prices for another? Is it:Based on what I’ve paid for the jackets in my meager vintage collection, I know it isn’t next to nothing. I wish it were. The Cals, except for one, were the most inexpensive. Then, somehow, the Windward. The rest I paid enough to try and avoid mentioning it to the wife. She always says, “for that price you can buy a new one”.
The one he had for sale definitely caught my interest as the price came down. Both are really great jackets.
-Quality
-Availability/Rarity
-Coverage in Rin Tanaka's books
-Heritage of the maker
I think I already know the answer, it's probably a combination of the above plus the size of a particular jacket.
But sometimes I wonder why people are willing to pay 1k+ on some Buco, even though the quality of the particular jacket isn't any better (maybe even worse) than a 250-300 jacket from the same era that doesn't carry a Buco label.
