    Is this a authentic Aero label?

    Hello all! I am looking at a used Aero Bootlegger jacket on eBay, but I didn’t recognize the label as it seemed different than most I’ve seen from Aero. Let me know what you think! Thanks all! Spence

    One off Schott 118 sold, replaced with a 618 maybe a big mistake?

    Lol I bought my partner the 508 and it is gorgeous and such a good deal

    One off Schott 118 sold, replaced with a 618 maybe a big mistake?

    No I completely agree and will be exchanging it for sure.sometimes I’m too forgiving especially when something is on sale, but acceptedmlowemquality defeats the benefit of getting it on sale. You are absolutely correct.

    One off Schott 118 sold, replaced with a 618 maybe a big mistake?

    If you look at photo 10 of the 618 you can see the scratch to the far right near the collar

    One off Schott 118 sold, replaced with a 618 maybe a big mistake?

    This jacket I bought about 8 years ago new from Schott but have never really worn it.

    My other draw for pulling the trigger on the 618 was the brown. Maybe since I have another 118 (pictures attached) I will consider an exchange for an 519 in brown

    One off Schott 118 sold, replaced with a 618 maybe a big mistake?

    Yes I did, I purchased it two weeks ago new from Schott as part of the 25% off promotion offered because of our current Pandemic situation. Funny I honestly thought the same myself that since it was on sale, they sent me a second. There is also a small scratch in the leather near the collar. (it...

    One off Schott 118 sold, replaced with a 618 maybe a big mistake?

    So, given the great deals offered by both Vanson and Schott, and my wanting to support two of my favorite small businesses, I’ve bought two new Schott jackets and a Vanson Chopper jacket in the last few weeks. However, in an effort to keep my life partner sane I agreed to sell one of my other...

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    I was a bit surprised, but I let it add to the character in my mind Plus, I got about 20 percent off due to COVID-19, so it was a really great deal and I’m happy to support a small business that I love. I didn’t see the commando, and I also didn’t notice the Colorado, which had the quilted...

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    For sure! It’s been a while sine I bought a new Vanson, but it seems like they were in a hurry when they made this one. Crooked label, extra liner bunched up in one corner, crooked adjustment belt on the side. Again, still loving it but not as clean looking as some of my other jackets, some...

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    So it’s been a few days and the Chopper is making progress...although slow. Two of the things I missed on this jacket have now started to appear, creaking and a great leather smell. I was a bit disappointed out of the box that the jacket was pretty quiet, and had a minimal leather smell. Now...

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    Hey there! Thank you good to be here and glad I found this spot. I actually wanted the chopper in the CW, even the new CW, but could not find it so I decided to try this version. This leathers finish reminds me of the finish on my Schott 118 HH, very shiny and lots of grain. It does have a...

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    One of the jackets I’m going to wear and try to break in is this unusual Schott 118 (or at least I think it is a 118, the production tag was removed) that I found on E-bay. It has the one star tradition on the epaulets, and is number 75/200 jackets signed by Oren Schott of the Schott family. The...

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    I accept that challenge and it could not come at a better time as I just got a Chopper Continental from Vanson in the XL-X150 leather that is stiff as a board. Besides, nothing I’d like more that wearing my Biker jackets 12+ hours a day (except for having somebody make me wear them 12+ hours a...
