Ebay Jackets - heads up!

[Shropshire-lad]

For anyone interested, and for those not cruising ebay often.... two sheepskin jackets up for not a lot of money so far:
: Aero leather B3 size 44... (284168059459) 10 hours to run with one bid at £450.
: unknown maker D1 mechanics...size 44.... (114640674200) at £74 with four days to run and 23 bids
Both look good to my eye.... I’d be going for the D1 but have an m422a on order.... and swmbo would go critical ;-p!
Cheers
Jim

Will bid on that D1 - thx for the hint

I once owned one of those B3 labelled D1's. My advice would be to pass on it, the pettern was very poor allowing no arm movement

I've checked that out but it seems like some sort of cheepo jacket to me. Why would it be mislabelled like that it it was any good?

Where did it come from do you know the maker?
