I found this vintage (!) jacket online, and it’s pretty cheap ($150). I know most people’s advice is to save up a good amount of money (some say $1000+) to buy a tailored jacket that will last a lifetime or more. But what about vintage leather jackets? What’s a good price for one? What to be on the lookout for?
Here are the photos: https://imgur.com/a/5l4fVRt
The jacket I found is allegedly from the 80s, according to the description. But I don’t know, I never bought anything second-hand online and never owned anything made of leather. The zippers look suspiciously shiny. The brand – Scarlett Only-The-Brave – seems to be so obscure that there is absolutely no information about it online.
But the reason I want to buy it so much is the boxy look. The seller seems to be fine, he said that the leather is genuine (which I know doesn’t mean much) and doesn’t stink (don’t know if it’s important). Can someone knowledgeable explain to me, a layman, whether I’m going to waste my money or be happy with the purchase?
