I agree it's a relaxed pattern. I like my jackets slim and this one isn't, although I like the way it fits. Mine is quite short , the bottom hem just covers the belt. It's also one of the most comfortable of my Aero jackets (the other being a type 3). Every time I wear it, I know I'll keep it.

Thanks. I know it’s sort of part of their schtick, but the variety of Aero’s sizing can be quite overwhelming and has stopped me taking a punt on quite a few used jackets. Maybe I’ll finally go for it.

Which one of you is this?

Don't mind me, keep on with your day. I'm just testing how waterproof my jacket and pants are.

Eagerly awaiting your TFL post about how this is the purest way to break-in your leathers

Wifey is looking to buy this RL jacket, I think we can do better... Any makers stand out for ladies with a comparable design and higher quality leather?

I can only see the picture you've posted as it redirects me to my region's landpage. That one looks like a hybrid of a racer and a crosszip.

I've never seen one, but I'm aware that both Schott and Vanson have women jackets, so you might want to give them a look as I would guess their quality is the same as for men's.

I’m not sure she’d appreciate all of Stu’s orange Cheeto dust. All joking aside, which Centobite did he make that jacket for?

Vanson is def on the list, we'll likely make a pit stop to their HQ next time we're in the area. Fall River is a dump tho lol.

I’m watching a jacket on eBay. The seller refuses to do measurements or respond to questions, but says it’s a size medium because he is 5’8 and 150lbs and it fits him well. Am I wrong in thinking that it’s more likely to be a 36 or 38?

That's interesting. Have you seen one w/ out the dots and is there a pic of same? I never have seen one but would bet it's pretty sharp.

With an attitude like that, I would cross that jacket off immediately.

The irony is that his price is good, but there are 47 people with the jacket on their watch-list yet it keeps getting relisted because he’s too much of a jerk to get out a tape measure and sell it.

If it's really a good price, and a jacket you really are seeking, it may be worth taking the BIN risk, especially if it's something you could turn and re-sell (with proper measurements & details). I've wound up with a couple nice jackets this way, and also turned and re-sold a few as well.

Haven't seen one in the flesh, but it's certainly been done.

How does a veg tan drum dyed aniline black jacket age? Does it patina or just crease / the grain becomes more visible?
