    I am not talking about fitness for purpose. I am talking about deliberate mis selling. What if you buy a jacket and a sack of potatoes is delivered? I use a proxy agent and have successfully returned damaged items where the seller has wilfully concealed damage. What you say about proxies is true...

    I respectfully disagree as I have returned damaged items to a seller on Yahoo, when an item was deliberately mis described to hide a fault.

    No return is fine IF the item sold is undamaged and as described. I bought a jacket with a burn on the back, no photo showed this and it was not mentioned in the description . Buyee would not accept it or any responsibility whatsoever. I had to get Paypal to get my money back, then they...

    I had very bad experience with Buyee. 1. They ask for your Paypal password. 2. They do not except returns under any cicumstances. 3. They do not accept responsibility for faulty or not as described items. So sorry we are not experts.... As others have said use Juno at Bidservice

    Heres the zip ! It's an Aero but not that Aero. This Aero used to make zips and knitting needles decades ago. Note the surface texture of the sheepskin...all wrinkled after years of age. Looks just like an original.

    Does Aero make the most `Period-Correct' B-3 Jacket?

    The late Andrew Tinnion the owner of the Fenland Tannery told me personally that the relationship ended when there was a dispute over flaking top coat causing customers to ask to return jackets back to Eastman. The tannery refused to replace the batch of skins so the relationship ended. Some of...

    This jacket was made before Gary started using Talon zip tracks. The puller is a Talon but the track is brass. Gary told me the date of manufacturer is late 1980's.

    Does Aero make the most `Period-Correct' B-3 Jacket?

    Cans what cans ? I largely agree with Charles apart from the sheepskins which I don't like. Thats why I only usually buy very very old Eastman jackets, usually 25 years old. Just my taste,I don't claim to be an expert...I would also point out that Buzz Ricksons and Mccoys make excellent...
