New website specialising in Vintage Leathers - VintageLeatherStore.com

Hi all,

I'd like to introduce myself by first of all thanking Scott for giving me the opportunity of telling you all about my new website.

Ive recently started my own site dealing in Vintage Leathers. Ive been in the vintage industry in the UK for about 10 years, initially trading through markets, vintage fayres, etc, then progressed into a retail shop for a few years, traded a bit on ebay also.

For about the last year or so i have concentrated purely on Leathers and it has become almost an obsession. The buzz i get every time i come across a Leather i haven't seen before is fantastic.

Ive managed to secure a contract with the most amazing supplier (based in south east asia of all places) which should produce approx 30-50 rare, true vintage leathers a month. They important thousands of tonnes of used clothing from the US, hence most of what i sell are old American labels.

I have tried to keep the prices on the website as keen as possible and i think they are pretty reasonable. There is also a 'make offer' button on the website where you can submit your best price on a particular item you may be interested in.

ALL prices on the website and any agreed offer prices include FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE

We also offer a no quibble return policy.

There are 60+ Jackets on sale at present with a similar amount to go on sale over the coming weeks.

Id be happy to offer an introductory further 10% on any agreed price to Fedora Lounge members.

Any questions please just ask, and all feedback/comments (good or bad) are welcomed

Thanks for your time and i will be seeing you all around the Lounge a lot in the future.

Regards

Tony

You have nice stuff. All too short for me, but a very nice selection. Your 50's Admiral Byrd Horsehide Bomber is a thing of beauty. Yowza. I would recommend you make your jackets searchable by size (S, M, L, and XL). It would save time for people, since your selection is so large.

Agree with Joel on sorting by size! Nicely done site. And your prices are reasonable from what I see. Good luck. I've bookmarked it for future use!
BTW, do you take jackets on consignment or purchase?

Damn Joel..........I always thought you were a guy! You're looking good in your new avatar. I didn't realize you had my phone number!

I had a very successful sex change operation recently. Miss America, here I come!

It wasn't all the doctor!

Okay, okay, I cannot tell a lie (except to my mother): the beautiful woman in the picture is the fabulous Joi Lansing, my favorite movie actress of all-time, for obvious reasons.
