    WTB: Basic rights x Aero leathers 'Heroes' jacket - size 38 (UK)

    I don't, sorry. I got this quote from them back in Janurary when I asked about it: "I’m afraid this isn’t something available at the moment, but we are launching an off-shoot brand in the next year or so called Ruskin, which was the label my father ran before Aero, the label that originally...

    WTB: Basic rights x Aero leathers 'Heroes' jacket - size 38 (UK)

    Essentially yeah, looking for that specific jacket in a size 38. Missed one on eBay that was listed around January and I've been kicking myself since. If anyone has one/knows who does/knows where I can buy one, that'd be grand, thanks!

    Does this leather jacket fit me?

    Yeah that's what I was thinking, damn shame too because I love the style. A size smaller would probably leave the sleeves/back too short so I guess I'll be looking elsewhere, thanks for your inputs!

    Does this leather jacket fit me?

    Here are a couple of hastily taken pictures, please excuse the state of the mirror: What gives me pause is the shoulders, they seem far too wide. Thoughts?

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    Haha thanks, me too! There's a quote, "I'm too poor to buy cheap things" and I tend to live by that. If you're going to buy something it might as well be quality and last a long time.

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    Haha thanks, will do! Here's the listing for the jacket, was a bit wary to post it in the OP in case someone swooped in an nabbed it before I decided! If you could take a look over it and tell me what you think, that'd be great! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224920978034 Ha I'm pretty sure it...

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    Heavy isn't an issue really even though I'm only wearing casually. I'd rather have a heavier jacket that'd last longer than a lighter jacket that... Won't. Although, would you say this vanson would be suitable for wear most of the year? Probably not mid-day summer but summer nights, autumn...

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    Yeah as I mentioned to Jmax, seller lists it as 23.6 inch length, Japanese market.

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    23.6 inch length, 29.9 inch sleeves (seems a bit long, but eh) pit to pit is 21.2 inches which should fit me perfectly. I currently own a goatskin leather jacket that's 25 inches long, 21 inches pit to pit and it's at the upper end of acceptable lengths for me I think, comes down just below the...

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    Thanks that's very detailed. In terms of my build, I'm 6ft and 11st so pretty slim. The only thing that worries me about the vanson is that it's a Japanese market jacket, I've brought Schott jackets from Japan before that have some really odd sizing. Do you think I'd be better off getting the...

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    Do you know what leather they tend to use?

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    Any particular reason, or just not your style? I'm 22 and from the UK wanting something I can wear casually most of the year if that adds some context.

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    It's around £260 + £22 postage for the Belstaff. I can get the vanson for £274 plus £30 postage. Do you reckon it'd still be worth it?

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    The label at the top says made and designed in England, and I can't see a "made in Italy" on the inside tag from that picture. Not sure if that means anything.

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    Given the choice between these two, would you go for the Belstaff?

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    I do not ride I'm afraid, this is purely for casual wear, I'm not sure how old this Belstaff is (or if it's even genuine actually if you could weigh in on that I'd appreciate it a lot! https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/does-this-belstaff-look-genuine.108362/).

    Belstaff vs Vanson leather jacket

    You're right, purely casual wear I don't actually need it to save my life. A different look to both, or a different look to the Vanson?
