So I decided to visit my favorite vintage/thrift store today. Old clothing is my personal specialty, so I try to take extra lengths to research various valuable clothing brands. Also, this store has a perpetual 50% off sale that happens every few weeks or so. Anyways, I was browsing through the denim Jackets and I found this beauty: photo copy.JPG photo.JPG
Through my research I had heard that these jackets marked "Lot 101LJ" were more valuable than typical ones. I bought it for $15, along with another vintage wrangler jacket, a 60's Pendleton, and a Carhartt Vest. I went home to look them up on ebay, and I was shocked to see that this exact jacket sells for between $200 and $400 easily, and mine is in amazing condition! I think this is my best find yet, but now I just want to keep it. Unfortunately, it fits me perfectly. Happy hunting everyone!

I would sell it and buy a common jacket that fits perfectly. You would still end up with $150 in your pocket... at least!
