Nice! I was looking at posters like you have in the background on ebay. There's a guy with some nice reprints. The real deal is of course expensive, but even buying the reprints and buying a frame is not cheap.A splendid sneak preview of an early fall this week! This morning a lovely 68º with 12mph NNE winds... a low of 53º tonight!!!! Will be low 70s with overnights at mid 50s until thrusday so taking advantage by donning my Bronson Chinos, Dragonboot rough outs and a GW J.A. Dubow... its cloudy, breezy ... perfect for a short walk over to Home Depot to get a couple of things whilst lookin' all 40s and shit....

I don't recall if I got that reprint off eBay or Etsy but its really sharp and on thick paper with vibrant colors. I have sincevseen 2 originals of that image on eBay but yes, I think they were over $500. I would love to get others one day. but like you say, you have to then factor in the frame as well. I usually try to hit a sale at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. or use their 50% off one item coupon to offset it. not the best frame in the world but for a repro it works just fine.
exactly. the glass reflections make it look worse than it actually is. there is minor water stains on the left side and a few at the top but otherwise is decent shape. I often wonder where it was originally posted. probably a college campus or high school somewhere.
Is that really 99 dollars US?
Yep..... at least until people realize they are decent for the money , then the prices will probably go up a little.
Looks nice. Kinda like my Flight Apparel Industries. Mines made in New Jersey so I like that it's authentic that way.We have a full storm hitting late tomorrow so I had to take down the kids' trampoline, the pagoda thing my wife has in the garden and stuff the rest of the garden furniture into the garage before all hell breaks loose tomorrow.
As usual I did it all in my WPG A-2. As I've mentioned before, this was one of the pre-release versions (a 1,000 times better than what they eventually released) and I love it even though it doesn't hit the bullseye on the small detail stuff. The knits too, especially the wrist ones are the wrong shape but nearly bulletproof. For all its foibles I love the damn thing, it's built like a brick shithouse, the goatskin drapes exactly like an original would have when new and the cut is beautiful. It's also astonishingly well made. I have been a complete and utter bastard to this jacket and done terrible things in it and it's never once failed. Sorry about the flash photography, it's a dark chocolate shade with reddish hues coming through on the wear points.
There's more accurate jackets but I love this old bugger.
Long knits for sure.Have a look at the knits on these ones Jan...
