A deal on a stunning black leather trench coat

Someone got a deal on a beautiful black leather trench coat for the Buy It Now price of $53.00.  Although this Maxima for Saks Fifth Avenue coat was tagged a size XS, the seller said it ran big and would fit a S or M.  The leather looks gorgeous and buttery soft.  Definitely one of the nicest leather trench coats I've seen on eBay in awhile.  This would look stunning paired with matching boots and gloves and topped off with a beret.

As for the styling, I especially like the clean lines, long lapels, and padded shoulders.   At 47", the length is perfect for wearing with tall black leather boots.  I also like the fact that it is just a wrap closure with no buttons, which allows more flexibility when cinching it with the included 65" tie belt.

If there's anything I don't like, it's the cuffed sleeves, which from past experience can be kind of bulky and tend to show more wear.

 
 As for flaws, the seller indicated that the lining was frayed at the bottom.

The seller said this coat originally retailed for $1,200!

More nice vintage leather pieces

Seller "newlookvintage" is back with some great, unusual leather pieces, most of which have sold for impressive prices.

This vintage 1970s brown leather cape / cloak sold for an impressive $255.00.  The draping on this is gorgeous and the seller indicated the leather was buttery soft and in pristine condition.  There is a lot of leather in this piece!  This would have been very tempting in classic black!  This would look stunning paired with a beret and long leather gloves.

Someone got a deal on this very nice red leather pantsuit, which surprisingly sold for only $56.00.  I especially like the high collar and belted detail, which definitely gives it a military feel.  Red leather is sexy, but hard to pull off in this volume, at least here in the States.  I can see looking chic in this walking the streets of Florence or Paris. Again, this would have been very tempting in classic black.

In contrast, she sold this gorgeous vintage 1980s red leather blazer-style jacket in a size 8 by Vakko for $122.50.  Definitely more versatile and timeless than the red leather piece above, and the leather looks buttery soft.  The cut on this is stunning and I especially like the notched, pointed collar.  This piece is very structured and would look great paired with a turtleneck, skinny jeans, and riding boots.

Speaking of structured, this vintage 1980s leather peplum jacket by Marc Laurent Paris sold for $71.25.  I really like the exaggerated collar on this piece as well as the padded shoulders and the super-tailored waist.  However, I do think this look is hard to pull off unless you are tall and super thin.  Another piece that would look great with a turtleneck, skinny jeans, and riding boots.

A decent deal on a vintage North Beach Leather military dress

Someone got a decent deal on this black North Beach Leather military-style dress in a size medium for $175.50.  I've seen this dress in this size and color sell for twice as much!

I especially like the double-breasted button detail, the contrasting piping, mandarin collar, padded shoulders, and of course, the shoulder epaulets.
