Got my first feedback extortion attempt today

Sold a really cool used jacket, accurately described and well photographed, but forgot to update the Condition setting from New With Tags (I generated the listing based on another, actually new version of the same jacket I have for sale). Priced as used, described as excellent and never as new. Buyer got a really good deal, too, IMO as someone who initially bought this jacket for myself!

Buyer brought up the mistake, I apologized and admitted it, and offered to take the return and give a full refund. They didn't like that and threatened to leave negative feedback if I didn't give a partial refund. Already reported and spoke to eBay support, we'll see what happens next.

I feel like I've now graduated to being a Real Seller 😂

PSA - Paul Smith Sugarlump Bedales are $450 at Farfetch right now

At least in the US. I'd say this is about the minimum price I'd start really considering these at...

The Brollen is Almost Perfect

This is the Brollen jacket, and it was an immediate favorite right off the bat. The tl;dr of it is that it's basically an insulated, slightly more casual alternative to the Lutz.

I'm fairly certain it's an 8oz model, looking at the way it patinates. A short stand collar and button front placket make this a very handsome jacket, and I'm quickly becoming a bigger fan of cuff flap / snaps as well. The sleeves on this XL are just the tiniest bit too long, but that actually works out because there's just enough room under the cuff flaps to roll up the corduroy inners, which really adds a lovely accent.

The only demerit then is that it doesn't have proper handwarmer pockets at the waist. The chest handwarmer pockets on these types of jackets end up being too small, and they tend to stick out a bit against the slim cut. Fortunately, the Brollen features snaps to hold them in when not being used, keeping the silhouette extra tidy. The waist pockets are moleskin lined in case you'd want to use them though I guess.

It all ends up being an excellent every-day-er, looking less dressed up than the Lutz yet still offering decent warmth in a tailored silhouette. It's not as slim as the Lutz either, sizing being more similar to the Ashby's.
