I almost pulled the trigger on one of those, but I'm a little wary of spending that much on vintage jackets without being able to handle them or get a sense of the fit.

There are some great ones there.

Of course, if you are E-Bay savvy, you can collect an entire closet of comparable SCs for the price of one of these.
