So I’ve been hunting for this used Louis Vuitton baseball jersey forever. Ever since I saw that picture of Pharrell wearing one during Fashion Week, I knew I had to get my hands on it. But damn, these jerseys are hard to find and crazy expensive brand new.
The hunt begins
Started scrolling through all those secondhand designer apps late at night. Typed in “LV baseball jersey” like fifty times. Mostly found fakes or ripped ones. Almost gave up until I spotted this grey one with the classic monogram patches on eBay. Seller looked legit with tons of positive feedback.
Zoomed in on every photo like a detective. Checked the stitching around the buttons, the neck tag, the wash tag – all looked right. Saw minor pilling under the arms but no major stains or tears. Messaged the seller asking, “Yo, this authentic?” Got a quick reply: “100% real bro, bought at LV Miami last year.”
Deal time
Dude wanted $1,200 originally. That’s nuts for used! I waited three days watching the listing. When it dropped to $850, I shot my shot:
- Sent offer for $650 with “quick payment” note
- Got instantly rejected lol
- Came back at $700 the next morning
- Countered at $750 with free shipping
Finally settled at $725 shipped. PayPal only – no shady Venmo stuff. Triple checked the transaction protection before hitting pay.
Waiting game
Package took forever to arrive. Started sweating when tracking froze in Ohio for five days. Almost filed a claim but then it suddenly showed up – flat in a generic plastic envelope. Freaked out thinking it got crushed!
Tore open the packaging right on my doorstep. Pulled it out and immediately smelled that expensive dry-cleaned wool scent. Did the authenticity checklist:
- Stitching – perfect
- Date code – matched 2022 production
- Hardware – no tarnishing
- Pilling – just like photos
Threw it on instantly. Fit like it was tailored for me. Couldn’t stop grinning at how that monogram trim popped against the grey.
Final thoughts
Best $725 I ever dropped. Wear this thing everywhere now – baseball games, grocery runs, even paired with sweats. Got compliments from my barista who’s never noticed any other designer gear I own. Totally worth the risky deal and shipping nightmares. Just shows good stuff comes to those who wait (and haggle hard).
