Hi,

came across this jacket on ebaY for $89.00:

www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mens-Brando-Leather-Jacket-Motorcycle-Biker-Jacket-/220930893443

Anyone know what they're like? Any good?

I don't need anything too warm up here in Nth Qld, so I'm thinking even if it's a bit light it might be ok.

No idea but at $114 bucks, why not!

They are ok. A mate bought one, hard to beat the price, and they look smart. I have seen them for about $25 cheaper, but cant find it tonight, anyway, for that price, its decent mate.

 Can't believe the price

 

 

$89 is an insanely low price for a jacket that looks as good as that one. However, the sceptic in me says the jacket pictured is not the jacket you'll get. The Brando style is very common and multiple Manufacturers pump 'em out, but the quality is as different as chalk & cheese.

It's probably worth buying at $89 coz maybe you could sell it to someone else if you're not impressed, but I've been scoping jackets for maybe 12 months and I think the photo shows a good quality jacket whereas the post pack will contain a 'Brando' of far less quality.

 

 The seller has a 99.8% rating though

Go for it.....I might aswell!!

Hi Merlin,
I am not sure about the particular jacket that you are inquiring about, but I have previously purchase a leather jacket and a couple of vests from different sellers in ebay Australia and USA.
To date my experiences are, the leather jacket is a bit too big for me even though I deliberately ordered size "L" to allow for extra clothing under-neather, but the quality for a $80 dollar jacket is good. Plenty of pockets and zips, I purchased the "Pistol Pete type" my only criticism of this jacket is that because it is made of Buffalo leather, it is far to heavy for mild to hot weather. I have not worn it for 2 seasons.
The vests are manufactured from remnant pieces of "softish" leather and are of good fit and reasonable quality, stitching every where, I use this item as an under garment on cold days perfect! and were only about $18 each.
So I guess" the buyer be wary" and "you get what you pay for" may apply, but for the small amount of outlay in comparison to top shelf similar items (last time I looked $650), i was happy enough with my outlay.
If I was you I would ask the seller the thicknesss of the leather, if it is more that 2 mm, I would suggest that it is too heavy for NQ.
Hope that this post is of help, good luck. Paul.

 Here's one on DH Gate for you
