My Bates Terminator T2 is turning gold

Many moons ago, I found this custom-sized Terminator on eBay. A high bid of less than $300 landed me a modern-age classic. I’m glad to say it was in like-new condition and fit perfectly.

End of story? Nope. I also have a Bates flat tracker jacket that I’ll probably be selling soon. A glance at the Bates website for current pricing was a reality check. However, the numbers on the competition jackets were nothing compared to a new Terminator T2.


At $2745 I’ll need to review my homeowner’s insurance policy.

This is Reg's jacket, I believe. Had no clue it was sold for $300. My dream jacket...

Bates has gone kinda crazy with pricing lately but if there's a better maker out there, I wouldn't know about it and I know any member here who's handled their leathers will agree.
