Chinese leather jackets

[Herrvallmo]

Have been wearing the Simons Shanghai mulholland repro for about 3 weeks now on and off. So far I’m still happy with it. It will take some time to break in but considering I don’t think I’ll ever be in a position to afford the real deal I’m happy to have picked this up.
The only real change proportionally I can tell between this one and the Freewheelers one is the shoulders on the real one seem to be broader, which I would have appreciated in the repro but still hasn’t put me off wearing it.

That looks fantastic, my untrained eye wouldn't be able to tell the difference with the "real" one. Any picture of the back?

A while back Ali Express had some two-tone brown and black aviator jackets (I think they were Tailor Brando) that I wished I'd jumped on at the time. I haven't seen them for ages. I hope they put those out again.

There’s a few YouTubers who have reviewed crush on retro boots very very positively for their price. I haven’t seen any reviews of their jackets. This looks really nice though. I did message them about a jacket because I was curious and whoever answered me explained that there are two factories owned by two different partners that make the various products and then list and sell them to the American market through crush on retro. Sure there will always be potential ethical concerns and if folks have those totally understandable. But with the success and for the money great value found in Bronson it looks like crush on retro might be the new Chinese go to.

Crush on Retro is easily the worst quality material and craftsmanship I’ve ever seen. I took the risk and lost big time. Can’t even wear them due to the pinching pain on the insoles. The fit is way off. The boots creased all over after walking 8ft. They’re a joke. Chinese garbage.

Stay away from Crush on Retro. Made in China junk sold from Indonesia. I took the gamble and lost. 300 bucks for unwearable crap. Cheap materials, lousy craftsmanship, horrible customer service. Should have spent a little more on something locally or even something quality but used. Live and learn I guess.
