More great vintage leather outfits from "newlookvintage"

eBay seller "newlookvintage" recently listed more vintage 1980s leather items which continued to sell very well.

This unusual black leather suit with chain detail by Junko Shimada sold for a deserving $280!  Although I'm not a fan of the embossed alligator pattern, the chain details on this are exquisite.  Talk about a power leather suit!




This vintage 1980s Jean Claude Jitrois red leather pencil skirt in a size 40 (28" waist) sold for an impressive $168.50.  At 26" long, this is the perfect length for wearing with sexy boots! A simple leather skirt with very clean lines never goes out of style!


Finally, this vintage 1980s Begedor Italy metallic blue leather skirt suit sold for an impressive $145.02.  Another stunner, especially how the fitted waist makes for a very tailored look.

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.

Beautiful North Beach Leather suit


This Chanel-inspired creamy yellow leather suit by North Beach Leather is a great look! Very nice modeling too, except I think the long black lace top showing under the cropped jacket really detracts from the great lines of this suit.

This size 5/6 suit was also overpriced as it didn't get any bids at its starting price of $299.99.

Great Tannery West black leather pant suit


Although the picture is too dark to really do it justice, the military look of this vintage Tannery West jacket is stunning! I especially like the double-breasted jacket which folds over to create a sexy collar. Even better, the jacket belts for a sleek, fitted look.

The jacket was sold with matching pants for a sexy leather suit look for the starting bid of $69.99. One of the best leather suits I've seen in a long time, and if it had been larger than a size 8, I would have been very interested. It would look stunning paired with tight black leather gloves and spiky boots.
