Is this vintage jacket too faded? Thinking of getting it for (the equivalent of) 50 USD - ish.

I think it looks cool, but I don't have a lot of experience buying vintage stuff. Should I buy it?

It's around 25 years old give or take.

If you want that colour and fade it's perfect, otherwise don't bother. Make sure it's the size and fit you need. The fade and patina is gorgeous but only IF that's what you're into.

You can just use some leather conditioner for the worn away areas. Probably the oils have worn away, rather than the learther dye It'll bring back the colour for the equivalent of $50 might as well risk it

I'd leave the colours as is, the shoulders got bleached by too much sun, but it's part of it's story I love it

https://pecard.com/products/classic-leather-care-products/classic-leather-dressing/ Pecard's will condition it without impacting the colouring. Or at least, minimally darkening it.

It should, It's an XL and i'm about 6'2. Keep in mind this is 90's european sizes. Right?

Go off measurements

tommaso27•15mo ago
Not sure there are any available but I'll ask
Bigelow

Yeah keep in mind you won't be altering this so you wanna make sure it fits you well Compare the measurements to a jacket that you like the fit of

I think it's unlikely there'll be any, but I can ask the owner his height ig If he says "I'm 6'5 and it fit fine" I'll give it a miss lol

Do you have the brand? If they still exist you might be able to track down a size guide, if not you might find similar ads from the past with measurements.

I do, but it's either very obscure or defunct. Can't find it on google "Alan Russel"

Elvander•15mo ago
