What does this gail Leathertogs sell for

If you combine this jacket as a complete outfit as it was worn, the boots, the pants, googles, cap, gauntlets. Rather smart looking, like a uniform. That I believe is an aspect of this design, that may be overlooked when just seeing the jacket.

Bellboy may be convenient to mock, but would you say the same for a NY police officer wearing a similar coat as part of their uniform? This is an era of motorcycle jacket design, taking inspiration from military and police etc and modified for motorcycle use.

The price reflects a collectable American leather manufacturer that is not as common as others I understand. I believe some of the fun being made of this represents a misunderstanding of what they are looking at. I don't mean this to be offensive. It may not be an aesthetic one likes, but it is a significant jacket desgn nonetheless.

I understand you can not argue aesthetic, as that is personal. But the jacket still deserves respect for an era that it represents.

The buyer has not bid on any other items -- appears to be a single purpose new account created for this auction. Sounds suspicious to me -- either an account created by the seller to jack up the price or perhaps a return fraud in the making.
