Is this really worth this much?

[Baron Kurtz]

Really, is this a $600 jacket? I'm interested in opinions on it …

Maybe i'll start selling a few.

It appears to be in unusually nice condition, good colour, and all original ..... great lining.

That's an absolute beauty, check the zipper. I'm a bit surprised that it went so high, considering the size but in that condition it's worth every penny.

Fantastic condition, worth the money. Let me know when you start selling a few!

Yes, i don't question the quality of the jacket. Nice unworn-looking leather (which personally isn't my taste. i prefer a worn-in appearance). Clearly late 30s to early 40s. I was surprised it went quite so high because of the numerous holes in the liner. This, to me, is an indicator that the liner may be shattering - a major problem with the wool liners heavily cut with rayon as these often were. Also stylistically i wasn't too impressed with the back treatment. I love the buttons and the odd pocket arrangement on the front.

I have one in the buy/sell section now. Size 38 give or take. What size do you need?

I am size 42/44.

Interesting. I'll let you know when i prepare to sell my 42/44 jackets. I have a couple. 30s-40s era. One of 'em's a stunner.
