Best offers accepted on all 3 jackets - I'm getting sick of them taking up space...

Even now, I have a hard time getting a sense of the color. But it's much more enticing, as is the DB.

In general, it's worth steaming the jackets and setting up the best lighting you can. Natural light is good, if you can arrange it. The extra effort on the front end makes a huge difference, especially on eBay. That's one way flippers make a killing -- snap up a poorly photographed item, then resell it at a premium with catalog-quality photos.
