That liner looks so cozy. Went for the same on my coming aero project.

I'd like to add that it never hurts to make offers even if the listing is not accepting them. You never know the financial situation of the Seller. Of course, as has been mentioned, sometimes you gotta wait for the item to "ripen" before you can place an offer below (or well below) asking. It has to sit for awhile and not sell so you perhaps get a more motivated Seller. And remember, although we all "watch" items, Watchers are not necessarily BUYERS!! I have made offers only to be rebuffed by the Seller who tells me, "I can't let it go for that. I have 25 watchers!" to which I respond, "I know its not what you are asking, but I have money and they have eyes. 25 watchers and I am the only one offering to buy. Keep my offer in mind and get back to me if you reconsider." This has often resulted in a deal more often than not.
But there is always that risk---and since your wife has seen the jacket, the cat's outta the bag!!
Thank you both! As luck would have it, it looks like Thurston just posted a women's jacket in her size she likes more and its not much more money and we are close to them, so we can even go try it on when they do a jacket fitting session locally. Kind of liking this other one too...sometimes procrastination pays off

Thats outstanding news! I hope the fit works but if not they'll be able to set you up. I've learned there's always another jacket and am no longer so quick to pull the trigger unless its a deal that can't be ignored. I've lost out on some and its a bummer, but I always find another.

Jelado East West jacket in green.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/JELADO-EAS...-Buffalo-Limited-Edition-40-Used/274192873644
@red devil this would be ideal for you, but I think that it's a size too small.
It looks like it's based on the East West Backpack Jacket, which (as the name suggests) has a large pocket sewn to its back. Jelado have nixed that feature, which probably makes it more wearable.

There’s an old saying
“I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand”.
Monitor - get out a cloth tape measure, and measure your chest and a few of your favourite fit jackets.

Looks like Thurston Bros. have been working with Vanson on a variety of new leathers. This one @ton312 should avoid looking at.

Very nice, but that little Vanson fabric tag on the right bottom hem is pretty nasty...
It reminds me of Schott in the 90s when they would do stuff like that, not a fan, i hope it's not a new standard thing.
It is terrible, horrible, what an atrocious thing to add!
Same thing that Belafonte does in Japan and that just makes me run away from the brand.

Looks like the thedi has too much taper to it for my gut. Im guessing theyre for someone with an athletic profile, where im more of a barrel.
