For me, it was the specific combination of leather, color, and lining fabric in the style/pattern that I liked. I was absolutely not going to find that OTR.

The Vanson Mercury seems to be cut well for people with broader shoulders and slimmer waists. https://www.vansonleathers.com/casual-and-street/151-4974-the-mercury-a-timeless-casual-black-leahter-motorcycle-jacket-with-shirt-style-collar-ENF.html#/2-material_color-black_competition_weight/7-size-32

I don't find that appealing, at all. Kind of got a low-budget sci villain aesthetic, IMO.

Well that brand name ("Godspeed") certainly seems appropriate.

Now that you mention it, I hate cross-zips, also. :-)

That's it for me. I just hate the badge holders and can't get past it.

This thing is amazing, and I love that it exists, but I can't imagine actually being able to pull off wearing it.

I hear you. I do a lot of browsing, but I've yet to pull the trigger on any kind of used or vintage jacket. There's too much ick-factor for me.

I hate cross zips with a passion, but I know some of y'all like Natal. https://www.ebay.com/itm/314098427352?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tlummup6s6c&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=zAhIrpVJQDu&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Yeah, that's a good way to arrange a visit to the hospital. Absolute trash artwork, also.

It looks right to me. I had the same question with my recent custom Aero Seven purchase. It's just the cut and style of those jackets. They're more fitted and, as you said, cropped. That particular fit is new to me, but it's intentional. Nice job!

I was wondering how/why Aero is able to use the Buco label. I assumed that they had somehow purchased the rights to the name (or it had passed into the public domain), but I've never found an answer so far (by way of Google). Does anyone here know?

Thanks!

This model doesn't seem to get much love, and I guess the consensus is that the chest pockets sit strangely low. It's hard for me to make up my mind on that, as I've only seen a few pictures of this elusive beast. Can anyone post pics of the F IRL/in the wild? Thanks in advance.
