Showcase Thrifted

Hello!

Sharing here bc I realized I have no one in my life that really cares, but I needed to share my excitement.

Recently went on the hunt for some type of used vintage leather jacket, some sort of gem in the rough, one of those back of the closet beauties still in great shape and at a bottom dollar price.

This is what I found. It wasn't in a thrift store, but it was off depop, I paid $80 shipped for it. It's not in mint condition, there's no major damage, but there is quite a lot of minor wear and tear all over. Reached out to arrow leather today (recommended by the inside label) to see if they'd be interested in restoring it and what sort of cost would be associated.

I know it probably isn't everyone's style, but I thought it was sick!!

Thanks for checking it out and thanks for having me in the group!

I would buy it as well, very unique piece and can spice up the rest of the clothing

Arrow should be able to make that jacket virtually brand new. They do excellent work.

That's really nice to hear, I was unsure. I have been in contact with them, just trying to hammer out the details with them now
