(The?) Sears Hercules Horsehide

[Norskellunge]

In a bit rough shape, but I believe this is the one that sells for $1,000+ in nicer condition. No reserve, starting bid $10.

Too small for me, have at it gents.

Nice catch. With a new lining and some re-stitching, it'd make a great jacket again. Leather's in very nice condition.

It bears a remarkable similarity to the new Aero 1920s half belt.

Price is $810 with six hours to go.

Glad to see someone's getting paid what they deserve, bidding was a little slow. Probably a big surprise if the seller didn't know what he or she had.

The last one went for a similar price. The price of vintage jackets is coming down, while the price of repros is going up. Strange...

Wow, I remember buying these old horsehide biker jackets for 10 or 20 bucks at yard sales some years ago.

For $1420 I'm glad it didn't fit me. I need rummage sale season to start up. These jackets are way too tempting and way too painful on the pocketbook otherwise.

Sold for $1420. Ho-ly cow.
