    FS/Interest Check-Aero Type 3

    I don't think it looks bad on you. I'd keep it and wear it. Sleeves are perhaps a tad on the long side, but you can see how they lie once you've completed breaking in the leather. From what I've heard Aero does not do handwarmer pockets on their Type III, because they have a rule about doing...

    FS: Vanson Lace-Up Leather Vest, Comp. Weight, sz. 42 (As New!)

    Unusual that they used buttons rather than snaps.

    Identify this vest from Ali express

    I have no way of knowing for sure how it works in each circumstance, but my assumption is that vendors on Ali Express are either direct merchants selling what they make, OR are resellers. Resellers probably buy a lot from a manufacturer, which includes promotional materials like photos, ad...

    White distressing on tea core Shinki?

    Normal and not worth fussing over unless you are super fussy.

    Hookless Zipper Hell

    When it comes to reproduction zippers, sometimes there's a reason they don't "build em like they used to". Not everything about the past was better. But replacing the pull shouldn't be a difficult thing, and Freewheelers should overnight you a replacement for free.

    Scarecrow Yah Ta Hey leathers

    You can also use the kangaroo leather at strategic stress and abrasion points to reinforce the jacket, using less leather overall for close to the same level of protection.

    Scarecrow Yah Ta Hey leathers

    They don't believe that such heavy leather is needed, and they have apparently had customers order it only to be dissatisfied when they found it impractical to actually wear. There seems to have been a little arms race that people wanted to keep pushing for the thickest, heaviest ever, and they...

    Aero jackets worth it?

    I think it changes dramatically when the leather fully breaks in. New CXL, especially horse, is much stiffer than most people are used to. And really breaking it in takes time. I think most of the lightly used jackets I've picked up on the relatively cheap were given up on without much of an...

    Aero jackets worth it?

    I've seen a lot more like-new Aero jackets around $500-600. And now own a lot of them. At that price they're really excellent.

    Broken Stitch

    If there's a lot of redundant stitching there that one broken stitch isn't going to hurt, leave it. I'd probably just keep an eye on it and if it is opening up more, then get it taken care of.

    Differences between buffalo and steerhide leather jackets?

    Buffalo and cow should be very similar. Probably you'd see more difference arise from different tanning methods than from the skin itself, or how the animals were raised.

    U.S. 1 Leathers

    Do they have a website? Edit: https://www.us1leathers.com/mens-jackets It looks like a tiny mom & pop business. The styles they offer look like nothing special, in most cases pretty ugly, looking like cheaper mass produced offerings you'd find at larger retail stores that specialize in...

    Schott Cafe Racer: 141 vs 641HH Fit and Sizing. My lesson from a disastrous purchase. Selling this cheap.

    I don't think the jacket you have looks like it is a bad fit. I'd like to see how it looks zipped up though. But I think you could keep it. Could you wear a 36 as well or better? Perhaps, but this is hardly a disaster. It may be that in Indonesia the prevailing attitudes about fit differ and so...
