I picked up that Cidu that HandyMike was selling not too long ago. How to describe it? Sort of a cardboardy feel when you first put it on, but then it feels more comfortable. My son and his friends really like it, and I guess I do too, Really hard to describe. One of the best things about it is the dye job HM did on it - a really dark brown, almost black. As HM described it to me, it's the kind of jacket you might wear a couple of times a month, and when you do you wonder why you don't wear it more often. Then you reach for the Aero.
I think Ton had a Cidu cossack jacket. I on the other hand have never handled one.

I did have the shawl/Cossack. My main gripe was the smell an the color of the leather. It was a bit too pale yellow for me to wear and it had a very strong chemical smell. Not like a pleasant leather aroma, more like breathing in vaporized plutonium.

Man that blue trucker....that one is going to bother me for awhile.

I was wondering about the smell: mine smells kind of like shoe polish, but I don't know if that was due to the dye-job HM did.

Not really deals but for anyone who is interested to see the various chinese made copies, here is a seller on Yahoo Auction. Easier to look at than Taobao.

Prices on Yahoo JP are much higher than on Taobao.

What... Have you done?

*sigh*

That looks like a fun jacket. However the sizes are... off? Snug shoulders and a loose chest with short arms...

These look like fun! (Centinela / J-31 designs)

This one could fit me: (I would have gone for this one, except I already have a Centinela.)

Here are some for the Natural fans:

I desperately need a brown cross zip. Why don't we see more of these? Color works so well with the style.

I run into this one on many of my searches. Too bad it won't fit, the price is a deal compared to a new one!

And there is always the Brown La Brea!

(I just fixate on these two brown cross zips, because they are different.)

Not too difficult to find one of the Schott Brown D Pockets:
