Some say the 70's are back in style...

... That jacket says they never went out.

I think the exception to this rule is if an E-Bay auction is so bad people have to be warned, or just for laughs.

the only exception stated is if the auction is your own.

I posted a link a few weeks back which was locked down even though it was only for laughs as well. Don't get me wrong... this is quite funny, but this is just a heads up...

Yep, sometimes they're outrageous, but we actually have folks who specialize in collecting these oddities....and therefore have to respect their right to be able to participate in these auctions without us putting a spotlight on them.

They're doing their searches just like everyone else, so let's respect their right to pursue the hobby too.

Hey, I just might bid $22 bucks to see what one looks like.

To give this thread its legs back

here is the direct link to the company's website page with the jacket. The leather itself looks pretty good, but it is definitely NOT SA in the back...

But what KIND of leather is it?

It could be muscrat leather for all we know.

It looks like either cow or lamb, but Australia does have some good leathers for sure - Kangaroo I know is a strong, high quality leather and it is local to the land down under.

The back makes it almost look like an Indy-Mutt jacket hybrid!
