A chance to get an IH N1 deck jacket for us small folk in EU for a ..decent price.
500eu asking, but would likely go down to 400-450eu I imagine.

Thoughts on this one boys?
Aero CR in JP size 36 for 230eu.
Looks like a great jacket for a great price (and measurements look perfect for me on paper, although hard to say anything about the waist and bottom hem width).
The main thing that concerns me is the leather near the shoulder / collar / upper back area. Looks to be in rough shape?
The seller was kind enough to provide more pictures of the troublesome area of the jacket:

Still rather hard to tell how bad is it.
Great example of when it's hard to tell whether it's just natural grain from wear and when are we getting into damaged leather or leather rot territory.

The blurry pics and lighting aren’t helping either.

If it’s from a Burchell Zebra it should be fine as it’s not protected under cites, i.e. it’s not an endangered species.

You’d likely want a certificate with the boots that specified the species to save hassle with customs.
Very impressed you can recognise the Zebra sub-species from the stripes!

Kudos!
