What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[willyto]

Thanks for your feedback! Problem so
far is that there is none who is interested in buying it and TBH I rather would keep it than letting it go for let’s say 200-300€ as I paid over 500€ ($570) for it.

Thanks, man. I won’t get a Mulholland and I‘ve just decided to cancel my Thedi order (will get a wallet and belt instead). So, I do have space left and when looking on other members jackets the sleeves are pretty similar and they also wear them.

Thank you! I actually really like the body length and the trimmer Body and sleeves (were always too baggy on my Highwaymans I sond in the past. When wearing a longsleeve I actually think that it looks ok but I may have a visual defect Thanks again

In my humble opinion I'd sell the Aero and keep the premium stuff. Wear them more. I don't think Aero compares to your other jackets.

As soon as I got the Sunset which fits me nice and the quality is great I stopped looking at other jackets until I found another Freewheelers like the Darius.

All my other jackets don't fit right for example or serve a different purposes(3/4 leather coats) but having such a high quality jacket makes me not desire others and want to wear it more.

I considered your Vanek one in black but again, I don't have time to wear everything!

I think I'm turning into @handymike , IIRC he only wears a couple.

We're too hang up on finding the next big thing instead of enjoying our current jackets.

can't tell you how tempted I am to buy this. Last thing I need as my 25th jacket is a shearling lined, living in Los Angeles, going into 100 degree + weather. LOL.

I can understand that. After having owned >100 leather jackets from practically every well-known manufacturer on the market today, I have to say that this Eastman B-6 jacket is an absolute highlight and it delights me every time I wear it. In addition, the 1/4" Sheepskin is perfect for practically any climate.

I wore my Aero Highwayman Cordovan CXFQHH during today's lunch break - I'm still torn whether I should really sell or keep it.

Sell ALL your leather jackets and keep only ONE, the one who's the Holly Grail, we're all looking for here ... LOL!

I think that is not possible for many here. I was looking for the holy grail jacket for years, but I never found it. Not that I've had very nice jackets. However, I had to realize that having lots and lots of beautiful jackets is addicting. There are enough examples of this in this forum. I also had to realize that I'm not the one-and-only jacket guy. Nevertheless, I have rigorously reduced my collection and today I am happy with the jackets I have ... until my next purchase.

@Robbie79 I'm going to agree with others and say that the Aero you have just isn't at the level of your other jackets. I would personally sell it, even if it's not for all thst much.

Re @Robbie79 highwayman I don’t think the sleeve length is that big an issue, but I agree with others that in the context of the many great jackets in your collection that fits you better, this would probably get less wear and deservedly so.

@Robbie79

Might consider shooting Aero an email for a trade if you are considering something from their salespages or something new.

Thank, man. Basically a good idea but there's nothing interesting on their sales page. I actually contacted Holly already last week asking her if she knows a trick to make them look longer (I know my question was unrealistic) but they don't seem to have much interest in buying it from me.

Thanks, Willy! I basically know that all of you're right...I'm just a little desperate that there's really none who's interested in buying it till now and looking at it makes me always thinking why I made this mistake....best thing would be if it sells fast, even for probably much less than I paid for. I'm trying it on Ebay for min. 399€ now...let's wait and see what happens.

Let me think.......NO!

Thanks, Dude! It just ***** that I bought it hoping the seller made a mistake in measuring the sleeves. As soon as it's out of my sight (in other words sold) I will soon forget about it. Lesson learned and will hopefully never ever happen again

I should’ve sent my own hide for my last build instead of hoping that dreadful junk would be something it isn’t.

Schott CR in the quickly-disappearing graffiti area in my town. In the last two weeks they painted over a huge, tremendous mural covering a whole side of a warehouse. Their warehouse, but still, I feel the painting over a great piece of art was more of a vandalism than the art itself...I quickly took pics of some remaining art, felt like I am saving them in some way, if people are interested I can post them - they are just tremendous, and their days are numbered...

Hard to pick favourites from your great collection. But this is definitely among the top. It looks so much better after reshaped it too!

Just perfect jacket design. The patterns are much more forgiving with greater movement than measurements suggests.
