I'm still not so sure if it fits the look with the US Army Wool Pants but I love both so much and want to wear both items every day.
Here is one in natural light:

Ya, it is. It was such a hassle. I ordered a zipper from Munich, but it wasn't the right color. Then I ordered one from Scotland but it was broken.
In the end I let my cobbler fix it with a big ykk. It looks exactly like the riri I wanted, so that's OK.
I'm quite happy with it. The zipper feels good and rugged.

The jacket and army pants look great together. That under jacket is pretty cool too. Glad to see the zip is done.

IMO for a daily wearer jacket like yours a high quality, modern, heavy duty zipper is probably the best choice anyway.

Looks fantastic man!!! Perfect fit, leather looks incredible, and the ear to ear grin says it all. Would love to see more pics and hear your thoughts. A dedicated thread, when you have the chance is in order. Congrats!!
Ton, thank you! I never get tired of talking about my jackets, I will take some better photos and try to put a thread together when I have a chance.

That browning is just spectacular man...you've really done your due diligence on that jacket and it's all the better for it. Easily one of my All-time favorites ever posted here or anywhere for that matter.

We had a couple of zips set aside for you but never heard back from you regarding them so none were sent. The broken zip from Scotland wasn't sent by us.

Are you from Aero?
No, the zipper did not come from you. I went with a riri but the one I got from Munich wasn't the right color.

I must admit, I think I forgot to get back to you, I'm really sorry for that.
