Being Thrifty: Vintage Find on eBay

I love the look, feel and general design aesthetic of tweed overcoats.  The problem is I could not find one that had raglan sleeves, in an acceptable color combination, at a reasonable price.  But: I finally did. (sing eBay song here) I found it on eBay!  Beautiful 60's vintage Harris Tweed from a family owned company apparently, "Kaufman's".  $24 shipped.  Really. $24.  Check it out:
