Sounds like my aero is shipping early next week. Order placed 6/28, Confirmed specs 7/9. Pretty quick I like that.
Very quick. I confirmed specs a couple of days. This certainly is good news.

Hope it fits you. Can't wait for fit pics!After a sketchy explanation from the seller about delayed shipping this new to me vintage blue jacket courtesy of the Finds and Deals thread is out for delivery today:

Snagged this Vanson Raid(er) off the bay today. I prefer the backside on this older model compared to the Gambler/Arrow. Figured this would curb my appetite for an ELMC Windward, for now.
Hoping the size 46 isn't too big - if so, it'll be offered up in the classifieds.

Congratulations. I thought Guppy might have been the purchaser. That’s a hell of a jacket and would have been in on the bidding had it fit me. Very much looking forward to seeing some fit pics when it arrives.Rather excited to have won this original Windward horsehide jacket this afternoon. I'm not quite sure why it didn't sell for more money. Unless I missed something, the jacket appears to be in wonderful condition for its age, plus it retains the original zippers. Perhaps the new liner depreciated the value to potential buyers..? Personally, I was happy to see the liner was replaced - I know that can be rather expensive to have done professionally. Fit pics to come next week. Cheers!

I hope it's a good one. I thought it might go for more, too, it's only the second original Windward of this style that I've seen for sale anywhere, and looked like it was in decent shape, and in a popular size. The only other one I've seen was all original, a bit longer variant, in Japan, and north of $5K.Rather excited to have won this original Windward horsehide jacket this afternoon.
