Aero Fontana CR 42 Black CX Steerhide

[AeroFan_07]

Tough catch & release here. Just does not fit me and I have certainly tried to convince myself otherwise! A little too short and just a bit too snug here.

Heavy, grainy CX Horween Steerhide. Nice Talon bright brass hardware. Only 2 upper chest pockets - there are no handwarmer pockets on this jacket. No inside pockets. Olive green cotton drill lining throughout body & sleeves. Olive drill stitching. "Topside" sleeve zippers. One small mark on LH seam as noticed in photos. Some natural creases on upper section of the back, in the "V-yoke." Clean, smells like Horween leather. Awesome jacket!!

Asking $625 Shipped in CONUS - PayPal Normal Transaction. International Shipping at cost.

So ... Quite the story here. Shipped out on October 15th.

This jacket was now just happily delivered in California as a Christmas gift -- exactly today! It was apparently "lost" in shipping.
Showed up as at the local facility for pick-up, but never arrived. And again, and again.

Turns out it was just dropped off. The new owner is over the moon. He claimed the insurance on it (quite understandable) but now has the additional benenfit of the jacket itself!

Lesson learned here - I was 150% glad I kept insurance on the shipment for 100% of the jackets's value + shipping cost. Probably a good plan overall.
