Thanks. Not my size unfortunately, otherwise I'd be all over it.

Going by the construction/design I would say this one is also a California Sportswear jacket. Never seen one quite like this.

Avoid this d bag

I've been a buyer and seller on ebay and I get that sometimes people can waste your time with inane questions. I always do my best to answer questions, and even respond to idiotic lowball offers. But I've noticed lately that sellers have simply not been replying to my questions regarding sizing. I guess they just don't care enough to respond. I won't buy from anyone who refuses to reply to sizing questions, or questions in general, especially if pictures of measurements are not provided or if the stated measurements seem off for the size/style.

I just had some seller tell me that he would only send measurement pictures if I put in an offer he liked. Idiot needs to hear Baldwin’s ABC speech so that he can earn his coffee.

The easiest way to avoid answering unwanted questions is to simply put the 5 minutes of work into the front end and include accurate measurements. These sellers that don't answer questions and "don't accept returns" are fools b/c ebay is set up to allow a return for any reason the buyer can dream up under the "not as described" clause. I don't see why any seller would open themselves up to this willingly, but it seems they do.

Good point. Ebay will side with the buyer most of the time as the burden of proof seems to be overwhelmingly on the seller. As a seller, I always cover my ass with detailed listings.

Oakbrook. Not sure who made this version, but the hide is nicer than most. French seams.

That is a reality with most vintage jackets. LOL. On a serious note, this one is in excellent condition with the belt and mouton collar. I have never seen a j24L in this condition.

I agree. It's bananas. I'd be down one left nut if it fit.

That is nuts... However, there is hope. I have a size 46 j24 in excellent condition that I will be posting soon. That is if my dear friend does not claim it first.
Friend, there is hope. There are some out here waiting to be found.

J24 in a 46? You better not treat me like a potted plant. Lol.

 

[Gypsymoth82]

No worries from me @JMax .....first one was way too small, and 46 is way too big.
