Went for a cool $1,009, last second sniper bid. Somebody wanted it.
Looks like more than one person wanted it. That was a clear snipe but at least one other party had a bid in at over a G. Someone had a nuke bid. The winning bid obviously had an even higher maximum. I agree w @jeo, cool piece but I did not see that price comin on this one. I knew it was gonna jump at the end but that was a Pole Vault!!!

Anyone here wanna.........ya know....... CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY!?!?!?!!?

Looks like we were all watching it lol!!

I was very curious to see what it would end up goin for. Not surprised it went for that much.
Its a slow TV night I guess!!!!! I was not in on this one at all but the vibrant bidding certainly had me intrigued.

I knew there’d be a last minute jump. $624 was too cheap for this jacket.

I probably would have been in on the action but the missing belt was the killer for me. I could have overlooked all the other issues.

That was a nice one. Looked almost new.
I have a few straight zip CHPs (Cal, All Weather, Aero, Lost Worlds) and was tempted. Minty for a steal.

It stayed in the TFL family though.
It sold in the last 25 minutes. When @photo2u posted it I looked at it and it was still active then POOF!!! It was gone......... it DID look rather Minty....... someone is stoked

That DURABLE was a fun to watch down to the wire!!!!!!! From $624 to a $1009 snipe w 2 seconds left!!! YOWZA!!!!!!!!!
I came in second in the last second. The buyer was going to buy it well beyond 1K. I wanted it, but never really confident that $999 would buy, so not surprised. I put my bid a couple of hours early. these early editions are not Johnny jackets.

In the world of-are they worth it?-Yes.

to be continued in the durable Durable thread.

I was looking long and hard at this one for 160 bucks. Finally got some clear photos of the collar and it’s absolutely thrashed. Cool jacket, but thrashed spot
You can repair it with corduroy fabric. Back in the day, heavy-duty service jackets were lined with corduroy on the upper collar. Cal leathers and others used to do it. Personally, I have done it and it looks professional.
