Your deals of the year 2024

[chillinginthenameof]

What are your top deals of the year? Here are my 5 most interesting bargains from rolling those vinted dice on my lunch break every day for a year. Had some scams, made some friends and had some jackets get lost in the abyss on their way to me (shout out to Evri).

Managed to get 3 jackets on my wish list in a Kehoe CR, Aero Highwayman and a Brooks gold label that all fit great. Still searching for a bargain biker jacket, A-2 and an M65 of some sort.

1. Kehoe CR £19 (Didn't have a picture on my phone).

2. Aero Highwayman £70.

3. Eastman Luftwaffe £60.

4. Aero biker jacket (unsure of the model) £75.

5. Vanson easy rider £60.

Bought a NOS 1930 car coat for 500, sold for $5,000. And it went to a vintage seller- it’ll probably end up in Japan for more.

Why!? Why would anyone pay this kind of money for this!?

The jacket is 100 years old, completely unused with the price tag still attached. If RMC sells a modern reproduction of the jacket for $2,500 I would imagine this jacket is in high demand.

Wait until you find out how much people pay for old levis.

That certainly is a fine jacket. You obviously got a great return on your purchase. Did you list it for 5k BIN?

It's probably R&D for repros. Or pure historical collecting although I'd imagine museums (unless fashion focused) would probably prefer a worn garment to deadstock.
