What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

New pickup from me. Too loud to be a daily piece, but I am loving the look of it:

Just received this Aero. It's my first jacket in CXL so the stiffness came as a shock On a more concerning note. These annoying wrinkles. Are they normal or should I opt for a return? Stock jacket...

Is that brass or "gold"? Because brass ages well and becomes darker. If then the leather is still violently broken in, then the jacket also has potential for everyday life

Not 100% sure but I don’t think it’s a brass, but you might be right that as this ages it becomes less flashy!

Return it. There was a mistake and I think it was sold that way was an oversight. Or was that a lowered price for that very reason?
I would not like it that way.

It was on their regular "ready to wear" section. No special sales price...No idea how to send back and get back my 200 euros from the DHL import VAT etc...What an annoying hassle...

The puckering is definitively a quality issue.

No good. Defective sleeve attachment. I think Aero will make you whole. Sometimes things get through QC. @Hide'n'seek .

As in normal for Aero products?

I would try to have it repaired (if that is possible at all) or exchange the jacket.
If the return explicitly runs as a return, then you pay no more VAT.

I've already paid DHL all the customs fees + import VAT. Never bought anything outside EU before which I had to return so I'm just totally clueless.

No, this is not normal for Aero products. At least not to this extend.

Thanks for the clarification. Will have to return it then. Just super annoying to deal with it. Especially after looking forward to receive it Think I updated the DHL tracking page 20+ times per day

Getting warmer, thought I'd show you the evo of a 23-oz Wingman denim Type iii over three months on bike (not motorbike) rides as a layer and one wash. They do get better with age, lol.

I meant that you then don't have to pay VAT a second time should a repaired jacket come back.
How to get back the paid VAT when you withdraw from the purchase, I unfortunately do not know.

That is true. That would be the best outcome if they could just repair that one arm...Thanks for your input @MrProper . Appreciated!

I was really underwhelmed by this 70's JC penny's big MAC when I got it because I received my pioneer wear vest the same day and was so impressed by it's quality, but I was too quick to judge and have actually been liking it quite a lot lately.

We've had some low 70's days as we're getting into spring, but mostly it's been around 60° with a mild wind chill and this jacket has been perfect.

I doubt they can repair that. The arm hole was cut too large for the sleeve so the puckering is the result of trying to shrink the armhole to fit the sleeve. It should be returned and replaced.

If you do an exchange, you shouldn't get stuck with any more customs charges as long as this is stated on the paperwork. Aero may cover the postage if it is a QC issue. It's worth emailing them.
