More great vintage leather pant suits

eBay seller "newlookvintage" recently listed several vintage 1980s leather items and did very well in fetching some nice prices for some unusual leather pieces. This post will focus on leather pant suits!

This racer style black leather suit by Nigel Wearing sold for $127.50.  Although I'm not a fan of the bronze detailing, I really like the belted, elasticized waist and high collar. This size medium outfit is just the right blend of biker chic combined with sleek high-tech lines.

Although I've never been a fan of silver leather, this nice Lillie Rubin pant suit sold for a nice round $100.00.  For as much as the suit itself looks like cruise wear, I really like the style of the jacket, especially the double-breasted styling, padded shoulders and the high collar.  I also like the high-waist styling of the pants.  I'd definitely snap up this piece if it became available in black leather!

Great vintage 1980s leather power suits sell well!

eBay seller "newlookvintage" recently listed several vintage 1980s leather items and did very well in fetching some nice prices for some unusual leather pieces. This post will focus on power leather skirt suits!

This goregous Jean Claude Jitrois yellow leather suit sold for a very well-deserving $305.00!  This stunning suit was marked a size 40 and measured around a medium.  I especially like the oversized collar, although I wish the seller would have pictured it with the collar turned up.  The waist belt detail is very stylish too, almost like a corset with the way it fastens in the back.  This would look great paired with a wide brimmed black hat, black pumps, a black clutch purse and some stylish black leather gauntlet gloves.

This vintage Erez red hot leather suit was practically a deal at $112.73!  This size S/M suit features some very new wave styling and like the yellow suit above, would look great paired with black accessories.

Someone got a deal on this bright green North Beach Leather suit in a size 7/8 for only $86.23.  Although not my favorite style, this should be very well-made of buttery soft leather given that it's from North Beach Leather. The huge peplum just screams vintage 1980s!

Finally, this vintage Issey Miyake brown (taupe?) leather bomber-style suit in a medium size sold for an impressive $294.99.  Although the jacket is a little too boxy for me, I really like the style of the skirt with its high-waist detailing.  In fact, had the skirt been my size and in black, I would have put in a good bid.  This would look great paired with some black or dark brown riding-style boots.

Classic North Beach Leather shorts sell well

With leather shorts appearing in several of the higher-end fashion catalogs this fall season, it's no surprise that these classic high-waisted North Beach Leather shorts (in a popular size 11/12) sold for an impressive $87.01.

Classic 1980s vintage black leather pencil skirt

I remember seeing this vintage 1980s "Together" brand long black leather skirt in the old Spiegel catalogs. I especially like the high-waisted, belted style and it would look stunning paired with a crisp white blouse and either riding or spiky black leather boots. As a previous owner of "Together" brand leather pants of this vintage, I recall that the leather is more of a cowhide than a buttery soft lambskin.

At a size 10, it was appealing, but the starting price of $49.99 and $12.95 shipping made it too pricey to get any bids. It would be nice to see it relisted at about half that price.

UPDATE: On its second listing, this skirt sold for $50.99.
