HU. The most beautiful jacket I've ever seen

[Traut]

A head's up. The most beautiful jacket I've ever seen is up on the big auction site. Item: http://www.ebay.com/itm/28075597801...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1394wt_1145

It is an olive green Lost Worlds horsehide suburban. Many custom features. Mandarin collar, black hardware etc.

Too rich for me right now.

What do you think of it?

Nice piece of leather, but for my money the colour is WRONG!! Wouldn't be buried in it.

If I were spending that much I'd get my own custom personally.
I'm not sure on the color of the hide - but I bet it'd look sweet once broken in. Not my style jacket, but I can appreciate it for sure.

 

[Traut]

Thanks. Now I feel better. Seriously, it's more of a fashion accessory but looked unique.

 

[ButteMT61]

Well, keep away from this one then lol
Oh boy....

I think I've seen this jacket on Ebay before...

I really like the design of the Suburban, though I think I would prefer a flap collar.

I don't know what to say about the color: I like it, but I don't know what it would look like on. I would probably stick to brown or black (though I do like LW's blue moose hide...).

I agree with Butte about the price: one might as well buy something new.

This jacket is over priced and the colour reminds me of mushy peas-just dreadful. I presume the first post was not entirely serious.

I must confess. I was serious.

Now now, thank goodness we all like different, if not similar things!

I love that colour. I also really like the shape of the cuff tabs. Nice one.

I like the style and the color, which would be a nice change of pace from the ubiquitous brown and black. The price isn't terribly egregious as it's basically LW's RTW list price.

My sentiments as well. But each to his own.

I like the color. The price is high because they suposedly will not restock the hide in that color.

The color brown could remind people of some other things aswell.......

I like the color as well. The only potential problem with owning this jacket would be color coordinating the jacket with pants, shoes, belt, etc.

not the jacket of my dreams[huh]

Well, nice jacket~But I'll never throw my money into it.

Green leather jacket - OK.
£600 Green leather jacket - No thanks.

Well, thanks to Aether's avatar photo, we now know that legendary cricketer W.G. Grace -- and not Karl Marx-- played the role of God in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". Aether, can we ever thank you enough?

 

[Aether]

Good spot Marc!

I'd take a nice new Horsehide D-pocket by way of thanks if you insist.

Not in green though!

I really like that color, but indeed over priced.
