I bid, but did not get this Hercules. If someone here got it, congratulations! It sold for $599. This is a style of Jacket I do not own, but want to own. Anyone out there have one or a lead on one let me know. I need something closer to a 42/44 This is not quite the look I am after and this one would have been a bit small. These do not come up often and typically bring top $.

Interesting jacket, but its main zipper seems to be changed, new zipper looks to be period correct but that repair work looks quite sloppy because of untidy seams of new main zipper. $599 seems to be a bit too much for this particular item, I mean the auction ended up at an overpriced level finally didn't it?
P.S. The label looks gorgeous!

Judging by the rates for it was a serious battle.

I've been after one of these for a few years. I see about one a year in this combination. The last one I think brought $800. It was a standard 1/2 belt. Even smaller as I recall.

For as much "patina" as the shell has, the lining is in very nice shape. I didn't think Aero did artificial distressing to their leather, but it could have been done after the fact, but it doesn't look like real wear to me. If it is, it could be the jacket was re-lined recently.
Generally it is not clear either it is artificially aged or real wear. I think it's really worn.
