Won this Joe McCoy Mobster on Japan auction. USD 460 for a Shiniki HH jacket is pretty reasonable I guess.

Looks cool! What is it!?
The Irvin I ordered from Aero in October came this week, now I finally have the time for a proper post and some low-quality pictures.
I was super concerned about the fit since in October I originally ordered an Irvin from WPG size 38 and it was very low quality and the fit was absurdly off. Ken from Aero, however, led me through the order process and through the measurements. I had to take a 38 for the fit I was looking for and of course, without any doubt, he knew what he was talking about and now I'm absolutely in love with what I have; it's crazy how both Irvins being 38 the fit looked and felt completely different. It would be a crime to not mention Tony Glovers that made this beautiful piece that screams quality out of every sheepskin pore and all the girls\guys at Aero.
It's a custom order from BKS.
Need to try it on the motorbike to see how it feels![]()

I guess I’m a little confused, What exactly is wrong with how they placed the pocket? Not trying to be a smart *** here, just not sure what the issue is.Got myself into a pickle. Ordered a new Langlitz Cascade with “death head” D pocket and stitch down epaulettes. Jacket was finished very quickly, hasn’t shipped yet. But, thank god I asked for a photo. Scott told me if I wanted the D pocket to be on the right hand side just like the death head or the usual left side, I said left side. But didn’t think the maker decided to do this. See photo.

Thanks for chiming in Carlos, I agree that the pocket placement does look odd. Odd enough for a remake? Only Regius can make that call. It will be interesting to see how this one unfolds.I think the position is a little bit weird isn't it?
It almost looks like they tried to match the position of the D pocket zipper with the position of the other sides's handwarmer.
To me it is too far out on the outside and too straight. I would have wanted it closer to the main zipper and at a more slanted angle... Basically a mirror image of the OG death's head position.
Tough call, not sure what i would do.
Feel like a douche for asking it to be remade for what is only a subjective aesthetical thing, or keep something that isn't what you had in mind...
