He had a really nice Chopper for sale recently that I was tempted by. I think I saw an ad for his Model B also. I love my Model B from the 1993-ish era. Very well broken in CW, Talon brass zips. The B is just so versatile, on and off the bike. So far, my most versatile jacket.

Yip,I was lucky enough to pick up my chopper from a lovely guy who stayed a couple of miles away, no postage and was able to see jacket in hand before purchase. I've got a gw m444a currently in customs at Heathrow waiting to hammer my wallet,just waiting for the bad news

I finally received this amazing jacket today! It’s an Aero Chips jacket made with Black CXL FQHH, olive stitching, and navy moleskin. I absolutely love the symmetric zipper, belt loop, and side laces. The chest feels a bit too roomy, and the leather is still stiff, so it feels slightly awkward now, but I’m confident it will break in beautifully over time and fit perfectly.

By the way, DHL Express is incredibly fast. It took less than 60 hours to get from Germany to Korea! On the downside, the shipping cost was 15% of the jacket’s price, but still…

Excellent!!! These cop CHP straight zips are awesome whether repro or vintage. And CXL FQHH is just the leather for it. It is an armor.

Big congrats! A difficult pattern to get exactly right, but you got 10/10.

Good choice in the leather too. Really the only one that fits this very "butch" jacket, IMO.

If you ever get shot whilst wearing that jacket, you will certainly win your case for negligence against the shooter. He can't say you were camouflaged.:)
Hahaha - so true! Nah but seriously > one of my dogs very much looks like a small deer or even like a fox over a distance. As a result I always make sure to be seen when having hunters around.
This is what I mean >

Oh I really really like that! not one you see every day :) also love that sweater, I'm a sucker for cableknits :D


Cheers!
Danke! :) Yes it is definitely one of the rarer ones. The same design but in beige/brown or brown/beige can be found from time to time but the blue version is rather rare nowadays.
And there is no winter without cableknit! :) It’s a real Irish John Molloy but I usually buy the version for women as it is equally wide but far shorter and somehow looks nicer on me.…:D
