    FS/IC: Carol Christian Poell double-zip fencing leather jacket; size 48 $700 USD

    Carol Christian Poell double-zip fencing leather jacket; size 48

    * PRICE IS IN USD.
    * PAYMENT BY PAYPAL.
    * BUY MORE FOR ADDED DISCOUNT
    * PLEASE CONTACT VIA PM :)


    so, here's the deal. after a couple of months, i've finally decided to let this go. from my time here, i have realized that my choice of outerwear is more blazers and more recently coats, than leather jackets. i feel that leather jackets work better on men more rugged, or perhaps at least more aged. see exhibit A. it doesn't feel right on me, wearing it at age 20 :| i'll likely give leather jackets another try in a couple of years

    i'm clearly not looking to get much, and i'm hoping this will be a very quick sale. there are a couple of reasons why i'm selling mine at such a low price: first of all, it's old. 8 years, and is the old version of the ccp fencing. secondly, the previous owner installed a 3rd front center zipper. i..don't know why...i guess it was for convenience or something, but it defeats the purpose of buying a fencing, and kinda ruins it. kinda really. and besides it not fitting my style, the obvious reason: i could really use the money lol

    on that note, the price is absolutely firm, as i am already taking a big loss on this. not to mention i am listing it at the lowest price it's ever been seen. as of right now, i would rather give up this leather for the money than have it sit in my closet and be only semi-appreciated. yeah, this probably pales in comparison to the newer version, but that will
    likely pale in comparison to the upcoming one as well lol. think of this double zip first iteration of the ccp fencing leather as a collector's item :) if you know anyone who would be interested, please feel free to let them know!

    Collection: S/S 2000
    Material: 100% Object Dyed Calf Leather
    Lining: 100% Cotton / 100% Bemberg (sleeves)
    Colour: Black

    Shoulders: 43cm (17”)
    Sleeves: 66cm (26”)
    Length: 73cm (28”)
    Asking Price: SOLD (@ $700 USD)



    Notes:
    - price is absolutely firm; i am already taking a big loss on this
    - same version currently going on y! for ~$2800 USD…lowest i’ve seen was i think ~$1000 USD on eBay

            Honestly it's kind of growing on me.

            It's like Margiela meets CCP. Ideally it would be the one zipper fencing, but I think I like this better then 2...

            If I was anything other then a broke-ass student I'd seriously consider it.

              i was referring to the added center zipper. albert's only had the two curving zips

                  center zipper looks great IMHO. better than the original, not as good as the 1 zipper version

                      It is wrong but the price is fair. I am sure that someone will see some value in this jacket.

                        actually it looks not to bad with the center zipper.

                          thanks to everyone for the comments and bump support! lol

                          yeah i tried to get used to it as some were suggesting it's not that bad, because i mean it's not like it's a center zip added to the 1 zipper

                          this item is now sold :) staying local in Toronto too
