·My wife did the “running of the brides” at the Boston Filene’s back in 1986. Muscled her way out with a gown for $125. $40 for alterations at McCarter Theater in Princeton and she was set.

··This Space for RentI've got some 80's "skinny ties" if anyone wants them. I think I even have a leather one, and one that look like a sock...Oh the good old days...

·I sold a Burberry’s handbag, scarf and wallet on eBay approximately 4 years ago. Each sold to a different person, and there was decently strong bidding on each, having started each auction at a $1 opening bid.
It was clear to me that there are collectors and accumulators out there that do the same searching for these higher end clothing items as we do with watches. As I recall, all items had a following of auction watchers in the mid single digits or greater.
I believe the eBay search function combined with the action of a low starting bid will draw the bidders in.

·I have a 1970's collar-less leather jacket not worn for nearly 50 years. Should be good for a few hundred straps. What am I bid?

·Without pulling it out it's some mediocre Brit brand. Dunno why I bought it, race-suit Nomex being my preferred wear - but not for work obv. That was tee-shirt & jeans in software dev.

·If its collarless it could be a cafe racer style jacket. Quite a timeless style that would attract a few bids if from a reputable maker.

·Yup. There were a couple Brit makers that are collectible but as I am in the US I only know the ones that surface here. There was a Brit maker during the cafe period that is very collectible that started with an S but can’t remember the name
Wonder if you are thinking of Schott? They invented the first motorcycle jacket way back in 1928, but they are 100% American, not British. Old ones are highly collectible.
I have a Schott Perfecto unlined cafe racer jacket and love it. Wish I lived someplace I could wear it year round! I find their jackets to be both cheaper and more tasteful than those British makers.

·Brooks is another good quality maker. I did have a period of collecting both cafe racer jackets and A2 flight jackets. I had about 14 at one time. After I crossed the line of 30 I started to wear leather less. I always think it looks better on young bucks! I do have a couple of leathers left though which I have kept for sentimenal reasons. Will post pics tomorrow .

·I'm still clinging to my A2, a US Authentic in 42R. Except it will never fit again. 🙁

·Brooks!! That the one I couldn’t remember- not starting with and S, it’s a B (in my brain those letter shapes look similar). Those from the cafe era are very collectible

·A few jackets that have a few tales to tell. Wore them a lot in my 20s.
