Hi everyone,
I am selling a Branded Garments / Orchard M/C leather peacoat. For those who do not know Branded, their quality is excellent and their jackets are especially nice if you appreciate a heavy, thick coat. The same applies to this peacoat. It's as heavyweight as you'll really need to get. I'm still not really sure how much it weighs - I'm going to guess more than ten pounds, and possibly fifteen. Will try to get a scale to confirm an exact weight later on, but it's a beast of a jacket. The leather is grainy and awesome.
It's not just the leather and weight that's fantastic, but the condition itself. This jacket has very little wear that I can see. The cuffs look great, the lining is solid, and almost all of the marks on the leather are surface level. The button holes for the anchor buttons even have very little wear. AND it comes with a detachable collar (Faux, unfortunately) and a snap-in quilted vest.
Enough of my sales pitch though, here are some pictures. Please note, the jacket is not being stored in this position - it's totally flat. My poor wooden coathangers don't seem to be big enough to reach the shoulders.
(Those two vertical stripes you see on the back are mostly non-visible now. I used a wet washcloth post-pictures and they have faded for the most part; surface level. Also, belt-like loops on the belt, but a belted peacoat seems bizarre, so I assume they're for something else?)
Close up.
No collar.
(Same thing as earlier image; wet washcloth diminished those two vertical spots).
No wear on the cuffs!
(One thing to note on this last image - There is some exposed red stitching here. I don't think it's too much of a worry, because the jacket itself is in such great condition that I don't think it's a flaw from wear, but I did want to note that. It's really the only odd thing I can mention about the jacket.)
Measuring this is a real pain. I obtained the measurements below by having a friend wear this and measuring off of him, except for the pit to pit. If you are interested in this jacket, PM me and I can give more details / photos of how I measure, so we can sure you get a great fit.
Tag size: 46R
Hand Measurements:
Pit to pit: 25
Shoulder to shoulder: 21
Inner gusset to gusset(?): 16.5
Top of shoulder to sleeve: 26
Top of shoulder to hem: 35 (Estimate an additional two inches with collar measurement, so 37. Faux collar not measured.)
So there you have it. I know words like thick, grainy, and heavy are overused, (much like many people overuse "buttery soft" when talking about lambskin), but this jacket perfectly fits that definition. And it's in great condition, with very little wear. Basically the only flaw is that the collar isn't mouton.
As far as pricing goes, I'm thinking $300 Payapl F&F plus whatever it costs to ship to you. There is a chance I can cram this baby into a large flat rate box, so that would only be $20 if you live in the US. It'll likely be more if you want it to have a bit more space, though. I try to be fair in my pricing, and the last time I saw this jacket on eBay, it was listed for $600. All proceeds will go to the "Kubatu wants to buy a Cal" fund. Any questions, please ask. Thanks all!
