The first word in the sellers description is “insane”…….hmmmm……also it appears to be goatskin, which would be from the cable 1800-p contract. Plenty of dry rot on that one.

 

[B-Man2]

Yeah …. The rot has got to it. Needs some rehab and stabilization work. $10,000 is shooting for the moon .

 

[Micawber]

The artwork - hmmm

 

[B-Man2]

Yeah…. Doesn’t match the aging of the rest of the jacket or patches.

Aye, words like "insane" are a turn off, almost as bad as "wow l@@k" and similar drivel.

There used to be an electronics dealer in nyc that went by the name of “ crazy eddy” he had radio and tv ads where he would yell (ver bug eyed.) “ our prices are insane”. Well, they were if he had the item in stock, hahahaha. Crazy Eddie did time for tax evasion, shitty biz practices, and god knows what the hell else……….insane is not a very good way to start anything off, imho

 

[B-Man2]

I actually remember him…..


Eddie Antar eventually pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges in May 1996. In February 1997, he was sentenced to eight years in prison. He was also ordered to pay more than $150 million in fines, in addition to the more than $1 billion in judgments against him resulting from various civil suits.

There is a whole book about Crazy Eddie. And the guy in the ad is not Crazy Eddie, though I always thought he was. But I bought lots of stuff from the store back in the day.

I think they have him sedated and back in his straight jacket again.

Will the A-2 fit over that?

Will the A-2 fit over that?

Oh yes, the draped over the shoulders look is the look for autumn 2022
