Damn, that’s nice! I am telling myself since forever that I don’t need this one. And yet I keep coming back to it.
What size did you get?

The jacket actually has lots of patina up close. The wind flap over the zipper and two of the back belt loops have gone full tea core I guessMy wife actually loves this one….it has a certain “Je ne sais quoi”…

Love the jacket. After several years of wear, the Cal will shine! You have done well.

Just one of the vintage jackets I've owned over the years. Most are gone, grew tired of repairs.
Awesome jacket. Looks like someone selectively stripped the topcoat though. Would not bother me much, makes it unique. And the hide is true tea core!!!The jacket actually has lots of patina up close. The wind flap over the zipper and two of the back belt loops have gone full tea core I guess

Very nice!!!
wow those selective fading looks unique, nice accent, I bet if finecreek boys see this they would purposefully recreate this fade on one unchopped belt loop on their leon jacketThe jacket actually has lots of patina up close. The wind flap over the zipper and two of the back belt loops have gone full tea core I guess

Thank you!
Consensus seems to be that the jacket fits "true to size", but I always thought I would need to size up one to prevent that skintight, very short-torsoed look I see so often.

Amazing jacket!
Out of curiosity, is this a 44? What do you think about the leather?

Black Jacket, Blue Jeans, Blonde Brew. Doesn´t really get much better than that, right!? (Perhaps only adding some Rock´n´Roll and a lady who encourages the enjoyment of the former items).

This one is a 42. Leather is quite good. Not thin at all. I will make a post in the 618 thread. Great jacket.

The threshold to trigger import duties is $800, but third party carriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL) scam you in a sense by calling import tax when in reality it's their convenience fee. In my experience third party carriers are usually able to move stuff through customs quicker as opposed to the global postal system. With post I've had stuff sit for weeks waiting to clear.
I wouldn't necessarily mind the "convenience fee" knowing that it'll probably get to me quicker, but what irks me is that they try to hide it as being related to import tax when in fact that's complete bs.
Thank you for helping me understand I’ve had about 3 jackets and 2 vest come from aero in about 2months well because I have a new found addiction to leather and well these fees add up to almost a jacket
