That would be too good to be true, I think this is a knock off. The seller also offers an "indigo" leather jacket made in the style of a DH, which also smells a lot like a knock off to me...

Edit: But it's certainly not wrong to ask the seller about the origin of the jackets.

A “pretty fair price”
You couldn’t steal a double helix that cheap.

I've tried various methods and products. In the end the only thing that really worked is the Ozone machine. That or putting it out in the sun.

Even your ozone machine is stylish.

Ciao a tutti

Vorrei aggiungere una Grizzly alla mia piccola collezione, vivendo in Italia non ci sono molte occasioni per questo tipo di giacca ad un prezzo accessibile,

Ho trovato questo ma non ho informazioni a riguardo, marca Le Fursac a circa 350 euro... Posso chiedervi un parere su questa giacca? Grazie

Is this salvageable? Sportclad

From the description: "You can tell this jacket was loved and well worn and taken care of!"

Lol looks like someone used sandpaper to artificially age the jacket.

Not worth the money imo.

Such a shame.

I am thinking of a ThunderBay shearling lined type of jacket (brrrrr).

My p2p is generally 23.5 ish, s2s 19.5 - 20, how much should I size up to allow for the lining?

Many thanks for your thoughts

I think 58panheadfan may be right. It looks to be a Curphey copy of Freewheelers Switchyard. Same lining, same HH tag.

I’m not getting responses from the folks at Aero. Is that common?

I agree, a very common jacket that can be found in much better condition for the same money or less

I find them very good for Customer service (emailing I assume?)

This is a peculiar question: does anyone know if these type of jackets, which were very common during 80s until mid-90s, had a "style name"?

I amazed by the variation of them, all with these ridged bands and cuffs. Why all were oversize? I think these were particularly common here in Europe. I remember, when I was a kid, the people wearing those, as well as when I check out the family photos from those years. I guess the most of them were made by lambskin and sheepskin. Eclectic design, so no biker or flight style.

 

[Canuck Panda]

bomber jackets? 80s 90s fit differently. bomber jacket in generally are more relaxed. although there are slim fit ones.

 

[Marvin Berry]

Before I waste a ton of money, I have questions on how a typical leather jacket is supposed to fit.

I'm a tall 42, with a bit wider shoulders.

When I put on my Schott Per28, it fits comfortably with my arms down, but the minute I raise them (for instance, sitting driving a car) it gets very tight in the front of the shoulders. If I'm standing and raise my arms, same thing, and it pulls the hem of the jacket way up.

Would this be a size issue, or a jacket design issue? This jacket doesn't have any shoulder relief(?) like a split back or gussets, do I need one that has these features? Or is it a brand issue? For instance does an Aero Ridley type jacket behave the same way?

Thanks!
