Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

I have no clue. It was my first attempt to buy something on that site

There is no bidding on that site. If your offer was not accepted then it was either a mistake/misunderstanding or the seller is a prick.

Oh well

This is cool, I’d change out the bull ring pulls…

I've wanted to post some examples from the Japanese Yahoo Auctions site for some time but thought it might incite problems of some sort. Anyhow, throwing caution to the wind...

There some nice deals on the Japanese Yahoo Auctions site for large sizes (42 and up) because this is way over the average sizing for most Japanese guys. For smaller sizes (US34 to 38 etc) there is way more variety. I live in Tokyo (I'm not Japanese) and typically fit around 34~36 sizing. These sizes are somewhat the norm here but rarer outside Japan like on US eBay.

So if you're looking for smaller sizes check it out…(including Aero, Vanson, Lostworlds etc). Please note that the interface for the website is only in Japanese (use a translator site) and most Japanese sellers won't directly sell to buyers outside Japan. There are third party intermediary "agents" that can help for a fee. But there is another more serious problem here...moldy and mildewy items. Many jacket owners here apparently have zero idea about looking after and storing their jackets especially during the extremely hot and humid summers (winters are reasonably cold and dry). So unfortunately there are some great looking items that have been purchased by people (my theory...) on a whim during winter, barely worn due to 'break-in' impatience.. and then left to rot in moldy wardrobes during summer...only to be palmed off on auction the following autumn. I've seen some almost new standard Aero jackets which look great in photos and are hard resist gambling at starting prices around US$100 or less... but reeking of mold on arrival. Really tragic.

Anyhow I'll attach one vintage US jacket example on I saw auction at the moment... Fixed price around US$400. Looks to be large - otherwise I'd be grabbing it. (Shoulder width 49 body width (under armpit) 59 length 73 sleeve length 60)

Hope no objections with posting pics from the auction? Amazing details... Looks like a 70s Harley Davidson horsehide jacket of some sort.

One of the few cases when $2,500 is a screaming deal. Hope someone here bought it.

It reminds me of this one, saving the distances:

I don't know if the brown one is a Star Glove. In fact, I think the black one is a Taubers, although I'm not sure either. Be that as it may, they are both awesome!
