Hello leather folks!

I will be in Ho Chi Min city from January 12th next month, and If I have enough time I would like to go to visit the Vietnam war museum ( I remember someone here posted pics about not long ago ) and if there's chance to find some old vintage leather stuff.
Any idea or suggestions, markets, or any area where to look for?

thanks

Vietnam is a great place to visit.. so is Dan Sinh market.
You will be approx. the 200 Million’st tourist since approx.1988, asking the same and visiting the same market searching for the same.
Good stuff can still be found... but only via private contacts... surely not ( anymore ) on these kind of markets ( all shopkeeper buy mostly from the internet ... to resell as original Vietnam war... or fake and forge...).
Great place anyway.
I live there approx. 4 months a year.

Hello, I back last sunday! Posted some pics, no leather jacket tho, too much humid and hot!!!
The museum is quite interesting, but at the same time full of sadness from the pics and storytellers.
IHMO: I do not question the war sparkle/reason or whatsoever but the agent orange drop is horrible, absolutely out of place.
