    FS Eastman B3 size 44

    I can attest to that. These jackets are extremely warm and comfortable even in bitter cold.

    Aero A2, Battered Steerhide, Mid-Brown Knits, Talon Zip, 42-11018-P

    I'm tempted but new to pricing jackets. I was hoping to find one with horse hide but from what I've read it's hard to tell whether a jacket is horse or cow. Will it fit? Here's a lightweight down jacket I have that's a snug fit: - 23 inches across the bottom of hem. - 18.5 inches from hem to...

    Simmons Bilt Jacket Underway

    I'm new too. I did a search based on my interest in a Simmons Bilt Drifter and discovered hours of reading about jacket drama involving court cases and jackets sold as horse when actually cow. Aero is beloved on this forum and it looks like the quality and the customer service might merit...

    Wow. It's really nice to see a sale from start to finish like this. That's a fine looking jacket!

    Thedi Horsehide Leather Jacket

    Thanks That was my impression too. I've found the seller to be very helpful and I regret the jacket is not a fit.

    Thedi Horsehide Leather Jacket

    Anybody know what approximate size this is, or is that a meaningless question? I'm new to buying a really nice jacket based on these measures, and I also understand size 44 and size 48 in two different jackets can fit the same. I'm heading to the closet right now to get out a jacket and see how...

    Looking for affordable dress wrist watches

    Invicta is a watch that is not well regarded, so it's not a watch to show off, but this one is a steal for the dollars...

    Is this Cooper A-2 an OK Find?

    It seems funny but the "have both" motto truly pays off in quality of life. If one practices rigorous hedonism on a daily basis the correct answer comes naturally and life starts to really open up. An easy way to start on a path to hedonism is to think at first in terms of traditional values...

    Is this Cooper A-2 an OK Find?

    Thanks for everyone's help. I ended up paying $120 vs. the $150 asking price. Given the ability to see it in person and try it on I was ok with paying a little too much. It's a nice looking jacket and I'm happy with it. Now I can start gearing up for a civilian Aero with a nice lining and...

    Is this Cooper A-2 an OK Find?

    Thank you both. Thank you both. El Marro I have a b3 I love that looks a little like your jacket. It's so warm it can hardly be used in Missouri except for a month or two tops. Opious, I'm surmising $75 would be more like it, although this jacket is claimed to be an unworn gift. If it fits...

    Is this Cooper A-2 an OK Find?

    Hi Research indicates this is a civilian version and it's no aero, but is it an OK find for the money? https://stlouis.craigslist.org/clo/6070038106.html
