I doubt they can repair that. The arm hole was cut too large for the sleeve so the puckering is the result of trying to shrink the armhole to fit the sleeve. It should be returned and replaced.

If you do an exchange, you shouldn't get stuck with any more customs charges as long as this is stated on the paperwork. Aero may cover the postage if it is a QC issue. It's worth emailing them.

One of my favourite parts of this jacket, those A-2 style epaulettes, just perfect.

Just received this Aero. It's my first jacket in CXL so the stiffness came as a shockOn a more concerning note. These annoying wrinkles. Are they normal or should I opt for a return? Stock jacket...

Return it for the wrinkles. And now you know what CXL feels like. I'm not a fan.

That must be disappointing for your first big jacket purchase but it could be a blessing in disguise.Just received this Aero. It's my first jacket in CXL so the stiffness came as a shock
Is there anything you want to tweak? Leather, colour, length etc. This has just become a fit jacket to ensure the one you keep is perfect!
Aero is above board and unless this was clearly sold at a discount , I'm be VERY surprised if they didn't make this right with as little hassle as possible.
Let us know how you get on.

It is...It was a regular from their ready to wear section. Not their apprentice section. I want to make clear it was no custom order though but no flaws mentioned.
I got a very fast response from one of their employees who has been super friendly. Afraid I won't get this repaired. Think they will just take it back and refund me, then put it up back on their site again with said flaws mentioned.
Would be nice if they could repair it though since I enjoyed the jacket and it fit well.
Their service so far has been superb.

When you first got this I checked out Wingman but took too long to order one of these and missed it, so the fact that it looks this damn good stings a bit! Really nice
Thanks. Keep an eye on Wingman other offerings, they should have some in heavy denim coming up, also their Japanese denim is nice. You can contact them on WhatsApp, they respond.

As already mentioned by some forum members, return the jacket. You will never be happy with this one, especially since you have a direct comparison with your elmc roadstar and this scale is hard to surpass...Just received this Aero. It's my first jacket in CXL so the stiffness came as a shock

Yeah afraid I will...Some part in me wanted to just keep the jacket because I was so happy with the fit and colour. But knowing myself I would look at those wrinkles every day and be annoyed. I think I'm a pretty annoying customer in general asking too many questions and being too **** about stuff
And yeah quite a difference in comparison...Hope you have a great day @58panheadfan !

Thanks! I just picked them up at a second hand store last week and I've been wearing them with everything. I like how everyone from Wes Anderson to the Wu Tang Clan has made them cool over the years, ha.

Particularly nice... mind if I ask which horse hide/tannery Shangri La used for that one?

Thanks! It looks better in direct sunlight. CF Stead according to their site:
The Front Quarter Pull-up Horsehide by Charles F. Stead is made by selected European Full Grain horse hides tanned with Steads’ traditional garment tannage and finished with a blend of “classic pull-up” waxes. This produces a pure-aniline leather with a Unique Rich character.
