Vintage North Beach Leather trench coat sells for $340

The vintage Michael Hoban "North Beach Leather" trench coat was listed with a Buy It Now price of $339.99 but sold for its Best Offer price.  I wish eBay would reveal these Best Offer prices, but they don't.

Although a small size 3/4, this coat appears to be in excellent condition and nicely photographed on a mannequin.  It's one of the nicest leather trench coats I've seen for sale on eBay in quite awhile.

This coat features classic double-breasted styling with adjustable wrist straps.  Oh, and it looks stunning with the wide collar turned up.  Very spy chic!

The seller indicated it was from her personal collection and was only worn a few times.

Leather trench coats appear to be coming back in style and this one is definitely a very well-made investment piece which should last the lucky winner for years to come!

A deal on a very nice vintage Neiman Marcus black leather trench coat

Even with pricey $20 shipping, for $80, someone got a deal on a very nice vintage black leather trench coat from Neiman Marcus.  I'm sure this coat was originally more than $500 given the high-end store it came from.

I especially like the belted style and the large collar which could also be worn up.  If only this had been modeled!

 

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.

A very nice North Beach Leather trench

This excellent condition size 12 North Beach Leather trench coat sold for its starting bid of $175.00. Needless to say, that large collar would look very sexy and mysterious worn turned up!

The size was appealing to me but the starting bid was not, although I know this was originally a $1,000 leather trench. I've seen these sell just over $100 recently.

Vakko belted black leather jacket

I try not to post too many items that don't receive any bids, but this beautiful belted black leather coat from Vakko was a stunner. With the collar turned up, it goes from biker style to biker chic. Casual enough to wear with jeans, dressy enough to pair with a wool pencil skirt and boots.

This size small jacket was listed with a starting bid of $39.99.

Andrew Marc military jacket - disappointing sale

With leather and the military look both being so "in" this season, I'm surprised that this size small Andrew Marc jacket, which incorporates both, only sold for the starting bid of $75.
