It is a serious piece of kit. I was beginning to overheat just wearing it in the factory - it's got a nice subtle herring-bone lining.

Well, all I can say is that I failed miserably.

So you were there today and tried it on? Did you also try on the Indian Ranger?

I'm starting to worry that I'll want to keep both. And then my wife would just straight up execute me. So that's why I'm publically committing to moving one on.

I was sooo tempted by that Daytona too, I took too long to pull the trigger.
You snooze, you...save a bunch of money on a jacket you almost certainly don't need.

There is still some hope left for some I guess. From Aero's FB page:
"
Due to an extremely busy first couple of days of our "Hidden Treasure" sale we are in need of a restock. There were a number of jackets that we failed to get measured up in time for Monday's start. We will also be bulking it out a little with some larger sizes that we were low on and also some Bootleggers.
To allow us to "restock", the "Hidden Treasure" section of our Sale page will close at 10pm tonight (UK time) and reopen at 12pm tomorrow Thursday 25th.
"
I'll take a look but I was also not impressed from vol.1.

More like "dusty corner" than "hidden treasures"

Nah, you may find a good bargain among that pile in the corner!
A year ago I got an Aero B3 from the sales page - it was an old test pattern that was laying around the factory for years - except for some dust and historic inaccuracy (for which I personally don't care) I got a new B3 at 2/3 of the price of a brand new one.
Well, to each his own. Historical accuracy is the most important and the most valued thing for B-3 (as well as for any other WWII repro jacket(s). Without full historical accuracy any B-3 has no value to me. Just my opinion.

I can fully understand this! For me it was less of an issue, I needed a sheepskin for commuting during the dutch winter!
Your opinion is certainly as good as mine, if not better, but with this opinion, I believe it's hard to find any repro B-3's with any value as they're all bound to be more or less inaccurate.
For me it's easy to understand that fit and warmth would be more interesting qualities for many of us.
Nope. Historical accuracy and correct size are the only important for WWII repros. Period)
