A $40 deal on a Vakko black leather trench coat


Even though it's sized as an Extra Small, someone got a deal on a quality Vakko vintage black leather trench coat for only $40.

This leather trench has classic styling with a belt, long notched collar, and double-breasted closure. It also appears to be in very good condition, and knowing Vakko quality, is made of buttery soft lambskin.

This trench would look stunning paired with matching leather boots and gloves and a sexy black beret.

Beautiful vintage boots don't sell



A seller in Australia offered these gorgeous vintage black leather OTK boots for a starting bid of $125 US, but they didn't get any bids and haven't been relisted as of this post. If they'd been my size instead of a size 7, I'm pretty sure I would have bid on them.

Besides the rich-looking black leather, I especially like the wider spiked heels (very Chloe), nicely rounded toes and the ability to be cuffed for different looks.

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.
