I have always wanted a snake skin jacket. My first awareness of one was in the 1960 film, The Fugitive Kind, which starred Marlon Brando and Anna Magnani.

When I was in the town of Alayor on Menorca, a small island off the coast of Barcelona, Spain, I came across these black snake skin loafers manufactured by Angelo Cellini. The Cellini name was trademarked in 1984 and the company still manufactures animal skin shoes that range from $500 on up.
I have another pair I bought at the same time that are black (link below). Both are size 8D and have been in storage, like my record collection (link below), for several decades and will be for sale on eBay (link below).
