Alta-Moda-Italiana well dressed fashion rep requiring car hire money in return for leather jackets London United Kingdom

Similar story as the other alter v moda leather jacket rip offs except this happened in about the year 2000 and only after looking for a new leather jacket and coming across this site did I realise that I may have been ripped off.

Anyway I was sitting on a side road in my car outside Heathrow Airport waiting for a delayed flight, when an Italian well dressed gent pulled up along side and asked for directions to a car hire office, I gave him the directions but he parked up behind me got out of his car and came round to talk to me.

He asked if I could help him as he had maxed out his credit cards at a London casino the night before and needed money to pay for car hire before getting a flight back to Milan that afternoon. He said he had been to a London trade show that week as he was a rep for a Milan fashion house he still had 5 leather jacket samples in his car and if I could help him out with £150 car rental charge he would give me the leather jackets.

I looked at the jackets and really liked two of them they were made of really soft black leather and very stylish. One mens the other ladies (one for the wife) the other 3 were brown leather and not to my taste, I told the guy that I only had £80 which I would give him in exchange for the two black jackets, this he agreed, the money and jackets changed hands and we both went on our way, I was a very happy bunny as I thought by the quality of the jackets they were worth in excess of £200 each.

10 years later I still wear my jacket I have never seen another like it in all that time, many people have commented over the years on how nice the jacket is and were I got it so I have relayed the story of how I required it.

The collar is a little bit worn now so I was looking for a new one that was similar and came across this site Well I hadn't a clue untill now that I may have been ripped off, in fact I really don't think I was. I think I was just duped by a strange sales technique by an illegal street trader, the jacket has given me years of use I will be very sad when I eventually have to get rid of it, best £80 I have ever spent.

So if anyone knows were this chap is could you give him my email address as I would like to buy another one please.
