Great jacket. It's the Schott James model. More of a car coat, little bit longer with big front drop. Beautiful naked aniline leather. The sleeves are like reversed tapered though (built for popeye). I had one and had them slimmed down. If you can pick this up sub $300, amazing deal.

Stalking and harassing a member from here, sending threats, etc. just because they gave him a negative review.
I bought a few jackets from him, returned two, had no issues whatsoever.
Here's a Lost World's WHITE leather jacket, starting at only $166 and ending in a day in Japan. Size 36, but the measurements seem to match a 38.
As good as the price is, I'm a bit iffy on it. The seller mentions peeling and cracking in the description. The pictures aren't super helpful, but I think I can identify some areas (see the arm leather in this image).
But even then, even if I was okay with cracking, I would have no idea how to wear this. How would you guys style a white leather jacket? It's such a louder piece than even the most hardcore cross zip.
What handymike said. Also, I'm a big fan of any kind of white or light-colored leather over dark denim jeans and a dark sweater. Put this over a navy turtleneck and you're set.

Buzz Rickson size 42 in Japan.
I've owned several Buzz jackets and each has been excellent. I've had the same jacket labeled a 42 and a 44. The 42 fit like a 44 the 44 fit like a 46. Kinda the reverse of all Japanese jackets being undersized.

I don't have much experience with buzz, only 2 jackets so far and one of them is a indigo a2, they dyed the leather after the jacket was assembled, some parts lack of color, really poor job from them on this 175000yens "anniversary jacket"

There you go with another option. With shipping and import fees there may not be much difference in the end.

Oh my! I've seen this jacket before, maybe in Japan. I do not recall seeing the label.

There's no way the ebay listing is comparable. You're getting upcharged nearly $300 dollars on the ebay link. Fees from proxy services like Buyee are actually quite reasonable. My purchase price on this recent jacket was $354.16, and I ended up paying at total of $407.85. This adds up to about $14 in fees and $40 for shipping.

Sorry, my math is bad. I retract and recant my statement from above

No problem man. There's no way to know really know the cost of fees unless you've gone through the process. There are really good deals to be had if you are willing to import from Japan. My experiences using Buyee have been very positive, and I think additional costs from fees should be the least of your worries.

I love the "comb" style and I don't have one. This is most certainly a collectors piece. Not sure where even I would wear it. Looks too delicate for outside wear. The seller present items very well.
I have seen this jacket just not sure if this is the same one. I may have to talk to the seller.

Dude, next time you see a sweet Vanson for a gret deal in a size 42 how about you send the link to me instead of posting it here! I would have bought that one in a heartbeat, really want to try the double zipper thing...
