Advertised as unworn. Looks like a very late pre broken grain version , crown zip with superb horsehide trim. Very crumpled from storage.

“Bought as an investment and never worn”. I wonder if that investment is going to pay off? What was the RRP on these when this was new? Second hand, even unworn, ELC B-3s seem to sell for about £600 max. Seems a bit of a waste to have just stuck this in a box and never worn it.

Could be someone who got it from a film production freebie.
Notice that the sheepskin doesn't look like Broken Grain. 600 gbp is about right imo.

Another failed shill bidding!

Relisted as buyer couldn't pay.....

I had one of those, made the jacket (ELC M422A) hell to sell when I had to relist it, Folk must have thought there was something dodgy about it. Suggested to the non-payer not to bid when you can’t pay...accused me of bullying him

If you time it right you can do well. If I had sold my jackets mid year when the AUD$ was at US$0.55 I could have doubled my money on some. Tianna would have had to have sorted the shipping as I was confined to Brissy. Now we are up at US$0.75 again and trending up... Moving into 'buy' territory again. 2013 was the best time to buy and I did well on my BK Werber. USD$1.13. At The Front did alright out of me that year too.

Would expect this B-3 to hit mid-high 600s again.
