Afternoon Ladies and gents,
I'm in the market for a new flight jacket, in brown cow or goat. I've been looking at several makers, and noticed there are some fairly big price different. I've narrowed my decision down to Johnson, Langlitz and Aero, based on the talks I have had and things I have read, but the price differences are the main factor.
More or less one maker is about $200 less than Aero and another maker is $400 less.
I have the money to spend and want quality....but what gives me pause is that for all the makers I listed, there is nothing but acclaim saying how underrated they are, what amazing work they do, etc etc. There is nothing indicating the quality of one is less than the other.
What I would like to know if anyone can quantify the quality difference, or what I get forgoing with a more expensive maker. Is there a compromise or tradeoff with the less expensive makers? Is it to do with the quality of the hides or perhaps something else?
