Yeah, I know, a bit strange for the Flea Market, but I have a few leather jackets that I'd like to sell. I figured I'd start here just in case i have a chance of avoiding eBay altogether, but I'll take these there if I don't get any nibbles here in a couple days.

All three of these were purchased towards the end of last year / early this year, so they're all in great condition. I can't find any blemishes on any of them.

First up is a Covington (Sears) lambskin - color brown size medium. The closes thing I can find to it on the current Sears site is THIS, only mine doesn't have the horizontal line across the front.
Price: $60

Next is a Haggar leather jacket - color black size medium. I can't seem to find any of the Haggar leather jackets online, so my pictures will have to suffice. I'd say this is a cowhide leather. While not quite as soft as the lambskin, it's definitely not rough leather by any stretch. This is a longer, 3/4 length type jacket. It's not quite as soft as the Covington above, but is a bit more dressy.
Price: $50

Last is Members Only Suede jacket - color brown size medium long. I bought this online earlier this year, but when I received it I found it was a Medium Long, and the arms are too long for me. This is definitely the heaviest of the three coats.
Price: $50

I priced the Covington a bit higher because it's a real nice lambskin material, this isn't one of those 29.99 deals you find on eBay all the time.

I'll attach some pictures, but can provide more if needed.

Thanks

    That was actually my problem as well. They fit me great everywhere except the arms. Apparently my arms are about 3 inches too short for my size.

    I'm having a couple jackets custom make for me (seems to be my only option other than having something else altered) - that's why these are up for sale...

    If I wore a heavy sweater they'd fit me. I get my leather jackets free from Uncle Sugar. How about shoes? You got any trendy Italian looking jobs in a size 8 1/2? Just joking and good luck with your endeavor.

    Perhaps a tie and some pants in leather would help as well George. :D

    Isn't lamb skin much cheaper than leather? Even a good one? I have compared the two and the best I can remember the real leather jackets always cost more. I was just wondering because you priced the lamb skin a little higher. I am interested in one of your jackets as all of them are my size. My current leather jacket reeks of cirgarette smoke from a previous roomate. I am wondering if buying one of your jackets would be the same price or cheaper than a dry cleaning bill. I 'll have to check into it.

    "Leather" can be made from any animal, not just cowhide. Lamb skin is just a softer leather than cow (and a little less durable as a result). Doesn't make it "cheaper" per se, just different.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    At this pricepoint, all the lambskin I've seen is always more expensive than cowhide. The lambskin is a much softer comfortable leather in general. There are exceptions I'm sure, but that's what I've run into so far.

    Maybe at the higher end levels cowhide would be more than lambskin, i don't know - but these jackets are in the $200 - $300 price range - I'm not selling $1000 Italian leather....

    That Covington is New Zealand lambskin, it's not cheap stuff.

    You're talking about the Covington and the Haggar, correct?

    I'll hold 'em for you until tomorrow night or I hear otherwise from you.
