This is a nice jacket with killer character. Seller admits he has no idea how to price it, someone should throw $250 at him and see what happens.

I dig the jacket itself and its accompanying wear/patina.

Unless this is a photographic illusion, I DON'T dig the studs that were installed along what appears to be both edges of the bi-swing on the back/shoulders. Unless these add ons are stick on---this likely means the there are pin holes along the left side bi-swing area where it appears most of the studs are no longer present. IMO, CRs are not the jacket style to add metal-in-the-leather accessories to.

As such, to me, these items de-value the jacket--cool as it may be in other aspects. Plus its untagged so maker and material are vague at best making definitive identification impossible.

For the above reasons, I value it much lower than $250 even though it has a cool look. In that price range, I feel you can find something cool looking that is less altered and more certain as to make/material. Just my personal pickiness perhaps.

I think it’s great, and $225 is about what it is worth to me, but it’s too big.
Here are the measurements if anyone is interested (about a 40)
Pit to pit 22 inches.
Sleeve 24 inches.
Back length 24.5 inches.
Shoulder 19 inches.
And the hem is 22 inches

As we all know, it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Any buyer is buying for the great look and workable fit alone not for any brand or known hide. It IS really evenly aged leather wise with impressive graining. That said, if I were the seller, it would be difficult to price given the lack of tagging. It's good he is accepting offers.
