Your price range seems to be more or less bang-on what a lightly used Aero would cost in the Classifieds here. Vanson would even be USD 100 less, I guess.
That would be my first choice. Even if buying from a seller in the US or Canada, the upcharge would "only" be 19% VAT plus 2% import, so you...
Oh, you did keep it then?!
Well done! I think it’s awesome and it suits your special but always classic style.
Two of the many features I categorically ruled out at the beginning of my leather jacket journey: two-tone and ivory/white leather. Now I am picturing myself with exactly this! :p
Only minimally so. Leaving one or two buttons open at the hem pretty much does the trick for me.
The thickness aside, it´s pretty comfortable to wear as a "real" shirt for extended periods of time.
Week 7 - Normality has arrived
Well, happy to report that the shirt has become more or less my grab-and-go piece for casual trips around the city, grocery shopping etc. That said, the thrill of something new and bold is slowly fading and I am just wearing the Rider because I like it, not...
This!
My first Schott was the heavy cowhide Peacoat from ca. 1998. Super cool, indestructible and timeless. Then I bought a „European“ Perfecto in 2013 that turned out to be exactly the „overpriced garbage“ referred to here.
I owe it to @Aloysius and his 613SH post that I gave it another go...
Ah, great info there! Thank you!

Aero regularly have there „Quatermaster sales“ where they offer A2‘s as stock jackets. Don’t know about prices these days, but I once got a more than „decent“ jacket for under GBP 400.
Yepp, the Rios are pretty loud.
Fit is pretty decent, but I need to get used to the massive heel! Feels like I am leaning forward all the time. Guess, I need a horse. Or a bike.
Thanks, Marc! All attractive suggestions!
I won’t invest any big money without seeing Clinch in person (Kentaurus in Cologne stocks them for some time now in limited quantities).
All that said, the most likely route for me is simply a new pair of „Mr. Lou‘s“ in natural or brown HH. They fit me...
