Sorry, that's my opinion of my Bronson A-1 as well, LOL.

What is this? Where is it from? Do you know where I can find a decent trucker jacket with riveted buttons, hand warmer pockets, and an inside pocket from one of the Chinese web pages. I heard you bought a shawl jacket from a Chinese web company. Got any tips?

That's an Aero I believe...as for the Chince jacket I bought...it was as basic as a vanilla shake. Not bad but not really good either. I bought from a member here that purchased it through Ali Express. @Blackadder summed it up perfectly...the hide felt a lot like a value city furniture sofa.

Oh none taken! I knew what I was getting and that jacket has long since landed in some other brothers closet.

It's a budget wear. There must be some style you wanna try and yet not wanna spend that much money on. That's where these made perfect sense. I have seen these type of "grained" leather (very similar to the so-called full grain leather on today's sofa and car seats) used on chinese copies of Aero jackets and White's boots etc.

lol well, truth be told, upholstery leather is meant to take some beating so it's not a bad idea for a jacket plus it still looks a lot better than what you can find around malls and city boutiques. As long as it's tougher, all is good.

Holy crap, it's official! Aero is releasing Lee 101J soon! Well, there goes all my money...

I'd love to get a deal on one of the sale Aero Jean jackets on sale. Unfortunately, its a toss up between a jacket that could fit 2 of me, or the dreaded high-water sleeve. Ah, heck.

Elusive Vanson in Lee style. Boulevard as they call it. Or is it Maverick? I know one's Levi's and the other one is this...

Of all the stock jeans jackets on Aero's sales page, I like the unlined 101J best. I'd be tempted by something like this next year when they turn up for real.

Buttons fans should pay attention to this one.

I'm after that 101J as well...

Also, this is pretty neat!

View attachment 89666 Nice jacket I'm sure. Pretty good deal for Japanese quality.

Looks a bit ‘Michelin Man’

These are super cool as well! HD and Brooks have been making excellent moto versions of this style.

Yes, that Lee model unlined is nice.

The thread must go on. . .

Yes, that one caught my eye too! But I'm not wild about unlined jackets. And a 23.5 inch back is a bit too short for me...
Sigh. At this point, I'm almost thankful for that one thing or another that keeps me from pulling the trigger.

Here's my levi's slim fit suede trucker. Really one of my favorite jackets since I got it this summer. The suede is light but really beautiful color.

The only thing that bothers me is this unnecessary seam in the sleeve. The seam bisects the sleeve into two halves needlessly, seemingly just to save leather. It's weird cause nowhere else on the jacket did they do this kind of thing, even the back which requires a large swathe of leather.
