Sold!

Aero Leather J106 FQHH (Horsehide) black jacket. Size 42, but fits more like a size 44. Jacket has only been worn about 8 times total, and only about 4 of those times were on my motorcycle. Very nice jacket in very good condition (I won't say mint because it has been used and may show a few marks from riding). Belt buckle has a few imperfections in it (it came that way from Aero and I thought it made it look more vintage so I kept it). Please look at the photos. Not broken in yet, but grain is starting to show in a few spots. Lining is custom light weight Tartan. Bought this jacket new from Thurston Bros for $1239 (plus shipping for fit jacket). Get it here and save yourself hundreds of dollars and multiple months in wait time. No epaulets on this jacket (had Aero leave them off when made). Brass hardware and bell and pull zippers throughout. D-pocket is very handy and functional. Comes with belt, and Aero tag signed by person who put the jacket together.

This jacket is FQHH, if you are aware CXL Horsehide has a very nice aroma and ages with a very unique grain pattern.

Measurements:
Chest (pit to pit) zipped to lapels: 24"
Back length (from base of collar to bottom): 26"
Sleeve length: 27"
Waist (where belt goes around): 21"

Deal of the century: $800 shipped with full insurance (includes Paypal fees).

Sure like that jacket, especially the D-pocket with the yoke on the back, pretty rare combination. Neat tartan lining too. I can't do it right now, however good luck with your sale and may it go to another owner here who will really appreciate what a marvelous jacket this is!

I may be open to a partial trade for a Vanson Model B in size 42, or even a Vanson Chopper in size Large. Must be in excellent condition and USA made (no El Salvador).

Yeah that's a beauty alright. I've been through a couple j-106 jackets and every time I see one I shed a tear for ever letting mine go. When the rest of my collection is complete I will return to this style for sure. Good luck with the sale!

I sold mine a little while back, would consider another like this. In fact this is probably perfect for me. If only you were in the uk.

These are great jackets and this is a peach of an example!

Dropping price to $850 shipped. This is about $400 less than I paid for it just a few months ago... ahhh this is killing me.

Would you consider trading it in against an Eastman ANJ4 size 44 or The FEW A2 size 46 which have similar measurements with yours?

It's here and worked out well. Wasn't quite in my plan to pick this up this year, however both the details and the lining sold me as I pondered this jacket. Big thanks to Brent for his quick and hassel free shipping, very, very careful packaging, and I think it's better than a new jacket myself. Extremely happy with this purchase, in fact each of those I have worked with on FL for buying products has been terriffic. Very happy to be part of this great community! :) - Randy
