What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ton312]

If there's anything you can't trust on eBay....it's inches and centimeters. Excluding, of course, anyone here, who knows how to measure a damn jacket.
I've won some and lost more from the fair weathered friend of a measuring tape.

I got outbid yesterday on the most perfect Brooks ever, in my size, it was in Europe and the end price was 100 euro. I'm never wearing a leather jacket again.

Oh man, I feel for you. How close were you to the final bid?

 

[Monitor]

One Euro. They were using a sniping tool... But I did put in considerably more than that, just that for some reason, my final bid didn't go through. Even emailed to seller to offer them the sum I bid with but they had to be the honest kind.

That's why I hate auctions. I usually only look at buy it now stuff. And God only knows how many winning bidders I've had that suddenly vanish when their invoice is sent. eBay can be such a foul mistress.

But also a friendly one!! Scored this killer model A for a song!

11/10, Ton! When Model A fits, no other jacket can even compete.

Aero A2 that I just received Yesterday from Lando.

Good score Ton!! I never see any of these gems, just the same junk!!!

Occasionally some incredible stuff pops up. Like that Brooks... ;_;

I bet it's going to Colombia, and will appear on sale again for $700.

@casechopper

I see your shoes. They are looking very nice!

Once you go red...

@Monitor

I think, it's ok. If it's fitted well and comfortable, even better.

^ I like that ring for some reason.

 

[Monitor]

Me too...

 

[TREEMAN]

Everything works better in red. Plus red makes everything go faster. No tag.
