More high-end long black leather opera gloves


eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these Agent Provocateur "Marquis" long black leather opera gloves for $145.00. The seller stated that these gloves were purchased online and originally retailed for $335.00.

These size 7.5 gloves measure an impressive 24" long with a small two-button wrist opening.

Vintage long black leather gloves sell well

Proving that there continues to be a market for vintage long black leather gloves, these nicely modeled 16" long size 8 gloves sold for an impressive $73.

Another deal on Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" OTK boots


It looks like someone got another decent off-season deal on Stuart Weitzman black leather thigh boots. Although the seller didn't state so, these look like the "Hilo" boots which retailed for $695 and appear to be in excellent used condition. These size 7 boots sold for $125.

I also found it interested how the seller only pictured them cuffed.

A deal on black leather jumpsuits


If the listing was accurate, someone got a real deal on this women's size medium Jeanette Andral black leather jumpsuit for $51.00. It was listed as "new without tags" and an original retail price of $1,000. Although I've never heard of the brand/designer, the leather looks decent and has some very nice basic styling. I think it could be enhanced with a matching wide black leather belt.

The same seller sold this men's size XL Jeanette Andral black leather jumpsuit for $88.87. Again, another "new without tags" item with an original retail price of $1,000.

The only real difference I can tell in the two styles is that the men's has a much more desirable black zipper as opposed to the silver zipper on the women's version.

It would be nice to see those modeled to see how they look on an actual person.

Vintage military-style North Beach Leather jacket


This vintage military-style North Beach Leather jacket in racy red is simply stunning. From the three rows of gold buttons to the blue piping faux epaulet detail to the mandarin collar, this jacket is a work of art. It would look great paired with anything from a pair of skinny blue jeans to matching leather pants.


This size 9/10 jacket sold for $152.50.

Vintage Italian black leather opera gloves



Even in the heat of summer, eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these size 7.5 vintage Italian long black leather gloves for a very impressive $182.50. For vintage gloves, these appear to be in excellent condition.

I especially enjoyed the seller's text about the origin of the gloves: We purchased this pair last year from a seller on the east coast that found these gloves at a church yard sale. The gloves were stored in the church for many years before being discovered. Interesting place to find a pair of long leather gloves!

After reading this, I suspect these gloves were left in the church when women used to wear gloves to church regularly. They probably ended up in the "lost and found" and were never claimed and ended up at the church yard sale. An interesting find, indeed!
