I honestly don't understand the appeal of these, I think they are ugly. However ,they( Ship John) do seem to generate a lot of interest.

here’s another one going the wrong direction IMHO:

I mean, the guy makes beautiful versions of old Toyota Land Cruisers and Broncos that sell for $250,000 and this is the jacket he puts his weight behind?!?

Seriously, a Blackbear/Y’2 leather N1 would’ve been more appropriate.

@Tom71 just bought an addict but different style. And I know of one other member who's handled addict and said it was stellar. I can tell you Butterscotch is cool shop. I have their Vanson collab Commando. It is superb.

edit: btw, I used to think type 3 leather was kind of weird. Stuck my toe in the water with some cheaper stuff from Levis and Gap. Really like it. Now ready for something more fancy LOL.

Yes, they are definitely a cool shop. I have two of their vanson Commando collabs as well

I am close enough to the shop where I am able to go try one on, but just wanted to see if there any fit pics of the aging on this particular jacket. I really love that red internal lining Addict uses

Aero once made Highwayman jackets that were sold in the Sam Walker store- they were tagged Aero...Then SW decided to copy them. There was also a Cheyenne / car coat copy that weighed a ton. This lining is a giveaway that it isn't an Aero, this is the SW tartan.

A nice jacket for the price. Stupid measurements... No intl shipping.
A crappy smaller one is for sale, but for $1400 you have some mold and a broken zipper...

Ha. That’s crazy. I have one of these. Different label, no storm cuffs. Absolutely recommend for the pattern and fit alone. I can deal with shorter jackets (I’m short), but for those that can’t, this is one vintage jacket to look at. It looks good on different body types too. Just a nice pattern. And in a thick HH that ages very well. The HH version is not easy to find in wearable condition. I lucked out on a mint one, but it cost me too.

In good conditions, this is a nice HH Fidelity. No one at my size anyway here.
I noticed too the storm cuff with zip sleeves, kind of strange looking ? Original ?

You know, I don’t know if the storm cuffs are original. I’ve never seen them on this jacket before, but that doesn’t mean anything. If I had to guess, I would say no. Maybe someone here will go for it and let us know.
