Found this awesome jacket in an awesome condition with no signs of wear. It has been so well maintained but it‘s not my style. I don‘t know for how much I can sell it, because i have never heard of the brand and did not find anything om the internet. But the jacket looks really high-quality.
Thanks in

advance!
 
"Rare" often does not translate to valuable. An item can be "rare", for instance, because a company was unsuccessful and/or made an undesirable or even inferior product.
Value is generally determined by quality, name of designer or manufacturer, and desirability on the collecting market.

I, too, am not familiar with New Trend. Are there any other labels or tags at all? Are you sure it is leather and not an imitation? (When I zoom in on the photo that includes the label, it actually looks like it may be PU "leather".)

Oh yes thats true! Thanks for the information. I was not really hoping that it is an „expensive“ jacket but to me it seemed so interesting because of the unknown brand. I was hoping for someone to maybe recognize it from somewhere or give me some history to the brand :)
 
Agree with Donna on the use of 'rare' when it comes to historical clothing. It's a bit of a meaningless term. Something more useful like 'in demand' or 'sought after' will get you a better price if that's what you're after.

Speaking of which, my general rule is that if you can't find much about the label online, it's unlikely to be expensive. I subscribe to assorted auction sites and believe me, if it's worth anything and in demand, specialist clothing auctioneers like Kerry Taylor and Augusta Auctions will be all over it and you can look up their results/sold prices. If they're not selling it, it's probably not of great interest.
