Ah! I think I see the problems then.

I have no interest whatsoever in selling the jacket and wasn't seeking any value - frankly they can bury me in it.

FWIW it's made in Korea but the rest makes sense, so thank you all for your replies and they've been taken as they were likely meant!

If it was this jacket, you could retire in Florida. None of us can afford one.

The unobtainum white leather jacket with fringe. A unicorn for sure.

Also OP, it is winter time here in parts of the US so many of us are bored and have PMS (parked motorcycle syndrome).

Now that is cool.

I had a distressed leather coat made in Korea when I was there for the '88 Olympics. In the knock off capital of Seoul....Itaewon.

It was like $125 back then. Nice quality and custom fitted. It was good cow hide. Then I got fat. Sold it.

Then I had a custom fitted California Leather (now defunct) for $500. That was super heavy horsehide. I sold it for $40 5-years ago.

I would disagree that yours is worth $200+. You see them online for $75-150.

Just wear it and enjoy it.

Hey OP don't run off because of these guys. Many of us have been holed up from winter weather for a while, so it's either kick the dog or bust a stranger's ***** on the internet.
It's all we got...
