Sometimes it is a matter of 'the right place at the right time'. A think a majority of the repro makers are in link with your above statement, aiming for the top end, but that really limits the choice for us consumers.
A few years back, there used to be plenty of affordable options, Aero used...
In that case, you have to "disconnect" your ebay account with your paypal account. They are simply trying to make it 'too easy' for you to buy things, but make it 'so easy' for the hackers as well.....
I guess.... not that we don't like the duo, it is just that they are pretty much monopolising the online auctioning market. I do not know much about economics, but logic tells me that you need competitions to keep the price down, which ebay/paypal don't have any.
At the first sight, I thought I was seeing 'wear a leather gown in a lab'! Ah!!! That would be cool....
The problem with laboratory synthetic materials is that, at least at the moment, they are very very expensive.....
As a scientist, I certainly do not mind wearing a lab generated leather...
The thing that I do not like about ebay right now is that the charges are usually not very transparent and too complicated. I know sometimes they offer free listings from time to time, but then there are so many hidden charges such as high res photos, additional subtitles, stringent limitation...
I had a few jackets arrived in the tiniest possible packages that you could imagine. No serious crease or mark. The only thing that can go wrong would be the the main zipper, if it has one.
No offence El Marro, I was just being too sensitive, just that it has become a norm here that some fellow members tried to hijack threads that are totally unrelated to a particular brand. I, myself is also a proud owner of both brands.
Umm, Aero fans at work........
Yes, he wore an Aero, because he is British, and yes, that was one of his own jackets. But he also wears other brands as well, just like many of us here.
For someone on the other side of the pond, Vanson sounds like one of the best in terms of price and quality...
I only have sold a handful of stuffs on ebay and I have stopped doing that recently. They basically want to split 50/50 with you at the end of the day (maybe that is why Ebay and Paypal are chopped up into two separate entities so that they can charge more individually....).
It is odd (and funny in a way) that the Malenotti business is trying the Belstaff trick again. Some of the Matchless jackets look like costumes out of the Power Rangers than anything else. If I want a movie replica, I want an exact replica, not something which is inspired by just the colours or...
I don't even think they are film replicas, they look like Starwars theme jackets which replicate the colours and designs of what the characters wore in the movies.
I was browsing the net for jackets and this 'Matchless' brand came up. Apparently the brand has 'British' roots and are making some movie jackets? Just wonder if anyone has owned any of their jackets. I suspect some Italian companies bought the brand up and pretend to be British..... sounds...
Umm, the squeaky noise, I also have the problem with my ELC G-1 and my BK Dubow. There were posts before saying that Pecard may help, and someone also suggested that rubbing some talcum powder at the seams may help. I got laughed at sometimes because it sounds like I am wearing a leather sofa.....
I am a bit sceptical here, did the seller try to cover some other smell by spraying the jacket with deodorant or cologne?
If it is just body spray or cologne, the smell can be gone by just hanging it outside your wardrobe for a few days. They are not long lasting anyway.
I suspect most of them would be all black anyway. Now that they have switched to using horse, the only colour for cow/steer is black. I guess most of the brighter colour jackets actually go to Asia, or Japan to be more specific.
Agree, G-1 (or M422a or ANJ-3 and all the predecessors) easily looks better than A-2 because of the action back and the half belt look. I think the mythical aura of the A-2 comes from the horse and it was probably more abundantly available. The mouton collar also doesn't work for everyone.

Apparently both Leia and Carrie (On and off screen) fell for this married man.
I hate to say this, but your look does dictates how good your jacket looks.
