one mans "no issues" may not be an others "no issues". beauty is in the the eye..... with full disclosuer, you should be able to break even on greedbay. as a display piece it will welcomed by a collector. wearer? never more then a a mintute or two, and at that, while not moving. over the years,, i have had dozens of original b-3s, and regardless of how solid they looked,, each and every one was one step away from disintegrating....its just how they were tanned, poly coated, and used. original to wear? aint going to happen. best bet is to land an elc red skin that ya can wear the hell outta without issue. btw, no amount of conditioner, ie: pecards, oils, cremes, vasiline, etc will bring it back to life, and the applications will not penetrate the surface.

i would think, as these originals are becoming harder, and harder to come by. if ya sell it, be sure to pack, and ship it carefully, so the hides dont develop fissures or crack further.

Ya, me too, B-3s are a wary thing. Not too many it seems are in good enough condition to wear. So to me not a worthwhile investment.

Carl...send it back to the seller..re-selling it yourself will only put you in the frontline...send it back..and please make sure we all know who the seller is...will surely help others and make him think twice for his next Ponzee business try.

Its not so much what i paid but the ethics of how it was sold ! I know the jacket originally came from a member on here and im damm sure if i had bought it directly from them they would have accepted a return .

Blue background ...the way the photos are presented......looks like Andrew and Chris...
Am I wrong or mistaken?
Both very active on FB for sales... ( there is a thread here...”Best place for selling ? ”...here the answer...).

The original seller was Andrew , but this has nothing to do with him at all Brice .

Just to make that clear !!!
