    Patina or Damage?

    Hey folks, Im interested in an Aero Longshoreman at a local consignment store. It's listed as having "nice patina" but I'm wondering if it's more like sun/water damage? Difficult to assess from the pictures, but If so is it treatable or is it fine the way it is? Thanks in advance:)

    Levi's Black Trucker Jacket

    Hey folks, a catch and release sale here. This one came in much bigger in measurements than advertised so it doesn't fit at all. Also this one was quite the "stinker" upon arrival. I had it cleaned and it's definitely "wearable" but in the spirit of full disclosure there is still a slight...

I know everyone's nose...
