Very lucky that you got a free remake in the end, but the whole experience still seems very awkward and unpleasant and would have left a sour taste in my mouth, more in terms of communication than in terms of the final result. Had you not pushed hard enough you might have had to pay 80% for the...
Size 48 Vanson Model B in Dark Green (!) Firenze leather in France for 400eu:

ebay kleinanzeigen should also support you, it's a proper platform, I buy there quite often
But yeah, I'd say this was a typical "too good to be true" case
How nice of the seller to try to appear so civil, polite and well-spoken when trying to push out his (or affiliated) shoddy products. He/she is truly making an effort, quite entertaining.
Damn that looks fantastic. This one goes to my bookmarks as the only example I've ever found of a crosszip + cowboy hat. This is as cool as it gets. Thank you for sharing!
I'm also going for a similar look, but brown jacket and hat.

From the jackets that are currently listed on their website - nothing appeals to me. But this specific jacket that Monitor has - that's something else. I'd add arm gussets if I'd order for myself though.
Thank you for the review! Was truly a pleasure to read, made my day.
Ever since I saw your post in the WJAYWT I thought to myself "damn, that jacket/outfit looks like it's made for Monitor, can't imagine it looking much better than that". I feel like you really reached the endgame with this...
Mine is to get rid of the 5*. And once I get the 2nd Vanson Model B then get rid of the one I like less. Then I'm happily back to actually having only 2 leather jackets, one black and one brown.
Most likely their measuring is just silly.
Here is another example from the same seller:
A size 42 jacket with 42 shoulders and 43 width? Maybe size 42EU = 32US in this case?
I can understand how width/chest/pit-to-pit can be measured poorly by going seam to seam, but how do you measure...
Just made my first order from Japan. Very excited and worried.
Using "fromjapan" proxy.
Vanson Model B in slightly shorter length and a very nice replaced two way chunky Waldes brass zipper.
At 140eu it feels like a safe gamble.
Leather looks fantastic too.
Collar is a bit worn, but that...

Thanks! You only get a try-on/fit jacket if you go through Thurston bros. If you buy directly from Aero (like I did) you just get a jacket and maybe an exchange/remake if it does not work out once you get it.

Thank you! Before I bought mine I saw one member posting...

Near mint Vanson Comet in size 40. 200eu from France. If that is not a "deal" then I don't know what is.

Rainy, windy and dreary day. Going for my daily walk with the stroller while the kid sleeps.
My "black outfit". As I only have 2 leather jackets at the moment.
This one that I wear with black boots.
And a brown Aero Hooch Hauler that I wear with brown boots.
