Hey guys, catch and release on my brand new custom Aero Sheene in Jerky Horsehide. It just doesnt fit me as well as I had hoped. Hoping to find it a good home as it is truly a beautiful jacket. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.
Ebay Link...
I JUST got myself a Cockpit G1 (the plain milspec one) and I have to say, I am VERY impressed. Its true to size, trim fitting, and just looks great. The goatskin is very nice, the real sheep mouton collar is great. I tried to mess around with vintage jackets on ebay and after buying 3 that just...
Pulled the trigger on a Ralph Edwards in size 40. Can I get some comments on my fit? I honestly feel its a little too big for me... length seems right, but theres a lot of room in the shoulders and sleeves.. Any comments? Should I go for a size 38 instead?
For anyone else looking, I just discovered etsy.com of all places is another source for leather jackets (and vintage clothing in general)... Like ebay though, some prices are outrageous and many sellers dont seem to know much about the jackets they are selling.
Is there another source besides Ebay? I know we have classifieds here, but there are NEVER any G1's of any sort in my size (very few in ANY size for that matter!). Where else can I look for a good deal? Seems Ebay is the only place to pick one of these up
I hear that, i want a real mouton collar too but for the price, it almost doesnt seem worth it. Im really more concerned with the leather being in good shape, and then possibly replacing the collar later on... the D series and earlier with mouton collars that are in acceptable shape go for 2-3x...
Great! One of those has already been bid to $435! Are these D series jackets really worth THAT much!?
Seriously looking at this one:

Any thoughts? The price seems suspiciously low considering what others that appear...
So how about this one:

Tag says DSA, made by Brill Brothers, but Seller claims it was made in 1971. DSA=1978...
