Guppy's Leather menagerie 2018 post

[Guppy]

Time to retire the old post, clean it up, and add a few new offerings...

Rather than listing them individually and bumping them one by one, I thought maybe it'd be easier to list what I have for sale all in one post. These are all very nice, wearable, high quality pieces, mainly selling because they don't fit me at a 42-44, and for no other reason than that.

I will keep this updated with what I have currently for sale. Most of these are listed on eBay, and I will deal with TFL members who want to do an off-eBay sale and help me avoid fees, so feel free to PM me here rather than buy there for a discount.

Photos, measurements are all in the eBay listing, ask a question if you need to know anything.

General Terms:

• Price is net to me (buyer to pay +3% for PayPal unless using friends/family option).
• Shipping will be $25-30 on average to CONUS, including insurance. I ship USPS Priority Mail unless otherwise agreed. Insurance and signature is recommended and may cost extra beyond $25-30, depending on value of item. I will ship to other countries to reputable TFL members, at cost.
• All sales final.
• Please keep comments here on-topic, related to the items for sale here. For anything else, please PM me. Thanks.

Trades considered:
I am mainly interested in freeing up closet space and cashing out, but may trade for the following, in my size, +/- cash as necessary.:

• Vanson Arrow/Gambler
• Himel
• Eastman/ELMC
• Aero
• Thedi

$500 Aero 1950's Half-Belt Brown Heavy CXL Steer size 38

<<eBay link>>

Brown heavy Horween Chromexcel Steerhide

• Wool lining
• Knitted storm cuffs in the sleeves, in excellent condition
• Two handwarmer pockets
• One chest pocket (wearer's left)
• No inside pockets

Jacket is clean and ready to wear. No unusual odors, no stains, tears, or holes. A lifetime piece that will wear beautifully for years and years.

Right now a new jacket of this model is priced at £690, or $915, not including shipping and import duties, which will add up to close to $1150.

Very nice. Sleeves seem a little short for a moto jacket...?

Depends on the wearer.

 

[ton312]

Man that would be spot on for me minus the sleeve length. Beautiful jacket. That back design is unbeatable.

 

[Monitor]

Yeah, that Langlitz is perfect.
