1960s/70s leather jacket 38" small/medium mens / unisex (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
Genuine 1960s/70s black leather jacket, lightweight, 38"chest small/medium. This was bought by my dad in the 60s/70s then later worn by me. It is in need of repair with stitching come out on some of the seams, wear and rips to lining and other small damage. Please see photos. It is a little small for me and I have a number of other jackets otherwise I would repair it and keep it. Hopefully it will find a good home. It's a mens jacket but pictured on a women's tailors dummy in photos. It would also suit a female wearer.

Unopened box of instant coffee sachets (Corstorphine EH12)
Withdrawn
An unopened box of instant coffee sachets. Made in Vietnam. Doesn't require any kind of machine, just empty sachet into a cup, add boiled water and stir. Contains 21 sachets. Dated until June next year. We don't really drink coffee so I haven't tried these and can't comment on the flavour but going by the photo on the box, it looks like the sort of coffee enjoyed by people who travel in helicopters like some sort of East Asian James Bond.

Pet stroller for cat or small dog (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
A well worn pet stroller which we used for our two cats when we had them. They much preferred this to a carry crate whenever we needed to transport them anywhere. Also suitable for a small dog. We've owned and used it for over ten years so it's quite worn but still works. It folds flat for easy transportation. Fairly light to carry and to push.

Woolen Herringbone Mens coat, requires cleaning/repairs (Corstorphine EH12)
Expired
Wool mens coat, herringbone weave. I've owned this coat from new, fifteen to twenty years. It's been well used and loved during that time. Now looking for a new home. The printed fabric and sizing details have worn off. Looking at the manufacturer's current range, they are described as wool blend so I think that's what this must be rather than pure wool. I measure it as 41" chest (M-L), 34" shoulder to hem, 18" inside arm length(armpit to cuff). It has a removable front insert section as shown. The coat needs to be dry cleaned and some small repairs. The centre zip tag broke off and has a temporary wire tie in place which enables full use of the zip. The two outside pockets have come apart at the lower seam so need restitching. There are two small area where the wool has worn into a hole, shown in the photos. In total, the coat has three inside pockets and two outside pockets. The brand is s.Oliver. Their wool blend coats currently retail at between £120-£220 each depending on the particular style. It's pictured in the photos above on a female tailor's dummy but is a mens coat.

North Face M olive green mens jacket (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
Medium mens North Face jacket, olive green. The jacket has some black paint marks as shown in the photos. Because of this, I would say that it's only good now as a working jacket, gardening, dog walking, etc. Showerproof but with reproofing could be improved. Measurements shown in photos. It has a hood that stores in the hood pocket in the collar.

Spiced chai, vanilla chai tea bags (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
Three opened, part used boxes of tea bags. One fragrant and spicy chai and two vanilla chai. All three are offered together. These were left by previous flatmates. Some are within date and some past their date but all taste as they should. I prefer plain black teas and seldom drink these. Hopefully they will find a good home.
