    Best A2 jackets in each price range

    What complicates further is that even if a maker has the holy grail A-2 pattern, there's a whole lot of human error that can throw things off. That's why I feel like off the rack A2's are a bit safer. At least you can try it on as opposed to a custom job you're stuck with.

    Fit check - Aero Premier Highwayman size 42

    Since when did this happen?! These are BOSS. I take back everything I ever said about the Aero fit. But in all seriousness, I really wish Japanese makers would offer better linings. All the Aero's I've gone through over the years have had gorgeous wool tartan linings. And high quality...

    Fit check - Aero Premier Highwayman size 42

    Agreed. Hwyman is just a boxy pattern. If you size down to make it "look cool," then your comfort suffers and you can barely stretch your arms. At least you got the goat skin which is more forgiving. Highwayman is one where you basically set your priorities of fit vs fashion and then pick...

    Best A2 jackets in each price range

    I think this touches on a key point-- all the A-2's fit differently, even if they have the same labelled size. Rather than focus on price, find a maker that builds an A-2 that matches your body. In my prime, I had broad shoulders for a 44-46 size, long torso, average length arms 25.5", 33...

    Patina or Damage?

    Just to clarify-- leather patina is additive, right? Oil, dirt, etc add a new layer to the leather surface that becomes bonded on. It is not simply the dye/pigment fading away. At least that's how I think of it.

    Rainbow Country A2

    Thanks to @borisna for packing so well! The box survived an extra 10 days of travel due to my address error. And the jacket arrived just as described!

    New Scammer alert: Jerseyfresh1 / Michael Triolo

    Dude looks like he would fit in with a certain segment in Huntington Beach... and I'm not talking about street gangs. It's the SE Hinton fan club, obviously. But seriously, this guy looks like he's been tweaking for many a moon.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Years ago, I believe there was a dust up at aero when some HH CXL Jackets were actually made with steerhide and/or a combo of both. I believe apologies were made...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I like the shirt as much as the jacket-- the colors complement each other well. How the jacket fit/feel when zipped?

    Fit check on Aero Sheene please??

    I had same issue with my Aero jackets. I enjoyed taking it off more than putting it on. Ditto how, Aero jackets seem to press down on the back neck/collar area. I used to think this only affected guys who were broad shouldered and thick necked-- but @borisna doesnt seem to have an issue...

    Return it for the wrinkles. And now you know what CXL feels like. I'm not a fan.

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    This makes me sad, as I'm a fan of shawl collars. And this one, if it is the same, is beautiful. So then... the original shawl collar was altered into another shawl collar?

    I've experimented with their premium goat and it looks kind of "marshmellowy" and "puffy."

    For Sale: Thedi Shawl Goat Skin w/ Buttons

    Well I didnt mean to dive into tax codes, but I believe the state the jacket is being shipped to is charging the sales tax.

    For Sale: Thedi Shawl Goat Skin w/ Buttons

    SOLD. Just some thoughts for the lounge... selling price was on eBay for $949. I entertained similar offers in the $900's on eBay as well . My takeaway for FL buyers (which includes myself)-- the prices on the classified section are mostly really good! I think we pride ourselves as "being...
