Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

Yeah I’ll report on it - it’s definitely an interesting item. Thanks again!
I can assure you, you will not be disappointed. These jackets are wildly undervalued. I just picked up my 3rd Natal and there is no doubt there is some connection between Natal, Kerr and Walter D. The hides used in these jackets is awesome. Insanely thick, tons of character and the pattern is great too. It’s a no frills cross zip that fits perfectly. These jackets just work. I’d love to know how these East coasters functioned with each other. All that to say you won’t be disappointed in it, and if you are, and it is indeed a 42”, I’ll take it off your hands for double what you paid!

You’re on - if it’s a true size 42 it will be too big for me. I’m hoping it’s smaller, but if it’s a 42 I’ll let you know and you can have it for the price I paid.

Your comments on Natals were what inspired me to try it, so thanks for that. I love the style and the color and yeah, that leather looks thick as hell. I’ll let you know… I was hoping it would ship today but no luck.

These jackets are sleepers. Branded did this style too. I think they punch 5 times above their weight class price wise. Not too many jackets left in this hobby that can do that. My latest natal is really a tank of a thing. Stands up on its own, damn near 9lbs but fits beautifully. I hope it works for you man. These really are a treat to wear.

The seller didn’t provide a chest measurement, just a shoulder one, so I based my purchase off that. I suspect the PTP is 22 inches.

The design is simple but elegant. I didn’t want a belt, the extra length in the back makes sense for the bike, the wrists look nice and tight, I love the color and the grain just looks real, side laces and brass are all very attractive.

Anyway, yeah, I’ll update when it comes in, thanks again.

That seller must be swimming in a sea of bong hits. I had that exact same jacket in a size 42”, damn near mint and sold it for half that (which is all it’s worth):
View attachment 611082 Campus labeled jackets are nice but nowhere near $600. Even mint. They are not especially refined nor are they very well built.
I’ve noticed quite a few ragged ass vintage jackets are priced ridiculously high lately. Makes me happy to have put that stuff in the rear view mirror. Actually looking back I also had a 44” in black I bought for $75 and sold for $100!

Our friend in Washington calls it Arcadia (additional chest pocket). I just love that campus. It fits se so well.

At this price, even with the HD tramp stamp it's a steal! I think given the nature of Natal hides, you could easily remove it and soak that area in H20, condition, and the ghost/stitch holes would virtually diappear.
