Contacted the seller and the jacket dimensions don’t work for me. The shoulders are 21/22” as per seller.
It’s quite long too, 27” I believe. It tapers to 18” fully cinched up.

Stumbled across this. Kind of out there. A short-sleeved leather jacket by Skull. I'm no way cool enough to pull it off.

Rebel has been coming up with some really great used finds lately. And some surprisingly decent no label ones by whoever makes them for them. I’ve been tempted by a few. They’ve been stocking more natural veg. tans and teacores.

I really think this Bates is nice, despite being photographed in the snow. I'd save this thing if I were in the US:

Has any TFL member purchased one of these pre-owned jackets from rebel? I imagine they're proxy sellers...but personally wouldn't have an issues with that as long as they're reputable and honestly advertised.

Kind of a neat find, an Aero leather trucker modeled off of a vintage Wrangler 24MJZ. This was the style I considered getting made from Five Star. The details on this design are not the same, particularly on the back, but it looks pretty similar overall. That said, seeing it actually on a jacket...I'm inclined to think the denim version looks better, honestly. Although that could be influenced by some of the weird changes like the pleated area being much larger on the Aero version.

Himel Kensington accepting offers

I imagine the stitching on the chest pocket might start a discussion on its own but at the price is not nearly as high as a new one.

LOL. That would fit me perfectly. But for that kind of money, I'd rather get a Thedi I think.

I would not trade my Kensington for a Thedi of my choice

really? Good to know. I haven't handled a HB, so it was more at a styling level. I've got 5 racers that look like that Kennsington at various price levels from $275 for my 641xx to $1400 for my FL Route 66. But the Thedis intrigue me because there's a little tasteful razzle dazzle. But I guess if the build on the HB is up there, then it should remain a contender.

dunno if that lighter part on the left sleeve is lighting or damage

Yeah, not a fan of that Aero version. At all. The big gap between the zippers and the pleats looks really weird. I think you should go for a leather version with Fivestar though. I’m really happy with the Wrangler style trucker they made for me!

Piggy backing here. I got in touch with the store and this is what they listed for specifics. I doubt the listed sleeve length is correct basing on the pictures.Cal LAPD 42sz at C$207 >> https://store.rerides.ca/product/vintage-leather-biker-classic-jacket-23741-size-sm-m-42/ Belt loops were removed but except for that, everything seems OK.
