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.
Yeah I just wasn't sure about that back panel
There's so much cool affordable stuff if you go used/ vintage it's crazy
Thanks
How much is the price?
fiddy bux he says
Looks like a bargain, the leather looks to be in decent condition for any age.
I like the style too
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
yeah
Can get leather conditioner for $5-15 depending where you live
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
looks nice, I'd get it

Pecard's will condition it without impacting the colouring.
Or at least, minimally darkening it.
Just waiting for the seller to message me back...
I really appreciate the advice
Yeah this is sick if it fits you well
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
Not sure there are any available but I'll ask
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

yeah I'm not seeing anything either
that jacket whips ass, no notes
Seller still hasn't seen or replied 😢
