Saw this today... $6100+ depending on exchange rate, and then tariff on top of it. They're good jackets, but come on. If the seller got even 1/5th their asking for it, they would be doing pretty good. I've been seeing Freewheelers leather going through the roof lately, but if their pre-owned stuff can command anything like these prices I've been seeing lately, it's hard to imagine them not coming back to produce more again.

Nice jacket but $6K can get you a leather jacket that makes this one seem like a school project. Absolutely unjustifiable.

Six thousand, one hundred dollars? Peanuts.

Leather jackets from Japan secondhand martket are reposted on Ebay for double the price. Ebay should block these reposting accounts.
Here’s your answer folks.

To elaborate a bit more, these Ebay accounts only repost the products. They don’t actually own them. If you do a quick search on Ebay, you’ll see the same jacket being posted by many different accounts. That’s when you start browsing Buyee or FJ to get the item for 1/2 or even 1/3 of the asking price on Ebay.

From high price items to garment in the range of $50-$80, they do repost for double the price.

Keep you eyes and ears wide open when seeing things coming from Japan, on EBay.

It better be made from Wooly Mammoth leather for that price.
The description reads:
A deep affection for refined and timeless fashion influences The Row's dedication to craftsmanship and quality. The Akia leather jacket features a classic collar and a zipped front and is finished with a ribbed trim at the waist. Material: 100% calf leather

Your Wooly Mammoth hide made me smile. Did you know that Ostrich hide produces one of the most expensive leathers? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12495049...7vdS_gpv12r1vt4fh9nnt5X6D2TOmJ1caAlbhEALw_wcB
Your's for $12,000 approximately £9,000.

That ostrich jacket looks like something Ramzan Kadyrov would show up to a meeting in, LOL.
