    Looking for Moto Style brown leather jacket recommendations

    I'd definitely go the Schott route and order both of those, return what you don't like. Then order a stock Vanson Oxford 9D, see how you like the sizing/pattern. If you like it - order it in brown leather from TB. If you don't - go for an Aero Sheene.

    Why I do not recommend Simmons Bilt Type B-7 parka

    Really sorry to hear about your bad experience. I hope it does not end like this and you manage to work a better solution out with them. But if you already chose to keep it then nothing else can really be agreed. Seems to me that with them the best course of action is either buying from...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    @MrBlue44 If you're in UK then going Aero or SB is a no brainer - would not bother with 5*.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    @Monitor For me denim jacket weather is +15 Celsius and warmer. With this new short thick Irish wool sweater the Aero works at -5 Celsius. So not even close :D

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I can second what @Aloysius said about QC, I had very bad experience with that. But in theory they are more flexible in terms of alterations and measurement specification. You're getting into 5* gambling territory there though. But in can be mitigated by demanding pre-shipping qc measurement...

    The long quest of finding a fitted leather jacket

    I'd definitely consider giving a Vanson Model B a shot. Can be easily found from Japan for 200-300eu - seems like their market is overflooded with this model.

    Proxy buyer in Japan needed

    I wouldn't be that bothered by 5% or 12%. And it's not always enough to declare something a certain value - you have to prove that it's what you paid as well. Depends on the courier sure. I think last time I just provided the fedex pdf where the value was mentioned as proof to the customs. But...

    Proxy buyer in Japan needed

    The proxy services are nice, but I would really like to just find a member who could proxy for me for a small fee. Then I could cancel out most import taxes, which are usually nuts in my country (33%+).

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Thanks for the input! The sleeve elbow seam position is a bit different between them yeah, so maybe it was a custom job and they shortened the sleeves from the shoulder rather than from the cuff? Anyway, I'm still really on the fence about the CHP from Japan that I posted. And I have less...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    No idea, long time ago I saved the picture from somewhere on TFL and don't remember what it is. I have quite a few such pictures. Here's the front though: Here's another example of something I saved because it shocked me but I don't remember what it is. My best guess would be Lost Worlds.
