Folks, if you want to see pics of the jacket please PM me and include the email address to which you would like me to send the pics. Sending me a PM that indicates that you would like to see the pics without providing an email address isn't going to work for either of us!
It's been a long time since I've visited the Lounge and an even longer time since I've worn a few of my jackets. I'm planning on listing this jacket on eBay but if I can save on eBay fees and pass a good value on to a fellow Lounger that sounds like a win-win.
This jacket is a size 40 Aero...
I would assume somewhere in the $20-$25 range. I will ship either UPS or FedEx (with insurance, requiring a signature) and I am not looking to make a profit on shipping.
The measurements are included at the bottom of John Chapman's original listing provided by the link. If you are interested...

I too find the Indy boot to be unattractive. I have many pairs of Alden shoes and boots but nothing built on the Trubalance last (the last on which the Indy boot is built). Too "bulbous". As for comfort, they are comfortable but certainly no more so than many other brands of boots IMO.
Let's start with the obvious - it will be cold. Possibly very cold. Also, another thing to consider in "late November" is Thanksgiving, which is the 28th of November. Very little will be open on that day if you end up in town. I am not a vintage buyer so I can't offer personal experience on...
There are a few statements contained in this thread with which I strongly disagree (for instance, I don't think you could go wrong buying a used Rolex sports watch assuming you like the way it looks and feels on your wrist) but those statements wouldn't otherwise prompt me to offer a contrary...
HEY! You guys can debate the merits of custom this or special order that but don't you go calling Homer Simpson an idiot!
And for what it's worth, the zipper pockets on my (former) stock Insurrection Aero Cafe Racer really did scratch up my knuckes and the back of my hands. I sold the jacket...
Hate 'em. For me, the few times they might provide some added warmth are outweighed by the everpresent annoyance they cause. One note, if you plan to ride in the Highwayman they will stop the wind (IMHO a Highwayman isn't the best jacket to ride in for a host of other reasons).
Now that...
And now for a contrary view...
First, expecting to get $750 for the jacket is IMHO "wildly optimistic". I've found a good rule of thumb to be half of retail for a jacket in good shape.
Second, while there are more buyers in late summer early fall there are also more sellers. The potential...
I've listed my Scott Perfecto "Sunset" Half Belt (medium) on eBay, here's a link to the listing:

Techno, I'm with Butte here (any extra leather might make it look like you're wearing someone else's jacket) but there may be an easy way to resolve this question. You are in SF, no? Go see Alan at Johnson Leathers and let him tell you if he thinks you need a new size (or if there is some...
Since I got a less-than-enthusiastic response to this post (translation no PMs) and I still want to move these wonderful boots, I'm reducing the price to $300 net. If the unbelievable new low price doesn't get someone interested ...
