Nowadays, it seems to be harder to find honest sellers on Ebay. I have gone through hell recently with a few. One guy sold me a vintage jacket from the 40s which he claimed was a size 46. He shipped the jacket to me from Germany. I got it and I couldn't for the life of me put it on. It was...

I just got a Barnstorming leather jacket from the 20's but it came with a bonus. It smells of mildrew. The aroma is very strong. I don't know how that huge detail got past the seller. I love the jacket and I want to keep it but I don't want to keep the odor. I heard that leaving it in the sun is...

This is my Vanson Jacket the day I started to stain the stripes with Iodine. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz325/MaxEvian/get-attachment-2.jpg

Every year I make sure that I get at least one thing that I will definitely not send back. This year, I picked up a really nice looking Vanson Jacket. The one used on the first X-Men. I didn't like the yellow strips so I used Iodine to stain them a darker orangie color. I would post photos but I...

Nice jacket! Very nice fit. I have to agree Aero got this one right!
