Yeah, but if it sells for $0.99 then ebay is gonna rape me for $0.15 of it! That's what they did when I sold the G&F for $0.99. It was very interesting to know that someone actually got something of value for $0.99 on ebay (even at my own expense).

Gentleman, Just listed for an extremely reasonable starting price and no reserve: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 1110163834 I just did a calculation of all the fees that Ebay and Paypal charges and it's close to 15% of final sales price!! :o :o I don't recall it always being...

Thanks, Andrew! Jon, I'm in your camp these days. I look for all the reasons NOT to buy a jacket! :lol: But fate always finds ways to tempt me, and it always seems like it comes in waves!

Just posted the listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 1101353557

I definitely prefer knowing the craftsman who creates my wares. We're fortunate enough to have a few available to us still.

Found myself in a Barbour store in New Hampshire today (I guess it's their US headquarters). Generally crappy stuff until I found a Hemingway-esque hunting jacket with some nice bi-swing gussets and some other cool details...but alas, made in Vietnam, so that was the end of that, no matter how...

Heck, Vic! I should of dropped by! It was a little toasty last weekend and I actually found parking on one of the streets there.

I've noticed that this military trend has lasted several seasons and has intensified. I told my daughter that she should just join this forum and become a fashion designer for one of these designer labels herself! Between eBay, and the internet in general, we're definitely seeing the oldies...

My daughter took me through Soho this last weekend and it looks like every design house has gone with the flight/military theme. Are there fashion moles on VLJ tapping into this forum for the latest in trend setting? If so, I suggest we out them and collect royalties on all this great free...

I've never had anything but experience with his jackets, but the mislabeled Bronco is pretty egregious. Just got a G&F M422a from him in pristine condition, but it was the real deal. Also got a fantastic 18091 a few years back. No problem with that one either. When did this questionable...

Aha! The body is able but the mind is old! My mistake. :oops: Yours looks to be a very nice size and runs surprisingly slender. Looks fabulous!!

Wow!! It looks like it could be this one's twin: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-Flight-Jack ... true&rt=nc :D

Absolutely fascinating!! It's never the same without the history. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful!! It looks like the one I sold a few years ago. You were kind enough to help me identify that one and I recall there was some debate as to being able to correctly identify jacket manufacturers based upon maker's detailing. How is that book of yours coming along? Will we be able to...

Andrew! I guess it was good that I decided not to bid on this. It would have made it much more expensive for one of us. Looks like a very nice jacket, but still not like that 16159 though! :lol: :lol: That one still haunts me! I'm looking forward to coming for a visit when I get back to...
