So as has been shown here, fakes are a real thing, and not always a good deal by any stretch.

What jackets do you currently own? Or what is your leather jacket experience?

I own one of these Un-Branded selvedge denim, and I have never felt the need to get anything else - except a really nice Duluth Trading regular denim that has stretch. It's a dream to wear.
I have had both. Steer is marginally easier to work with.
My recommendations for first, second or third time buyers of Aero's wanting CXL leather is the Steerhide.

Just FYI - the same person who sold this one to me has a much more worn-in version that also appears to be Goatskin on ebay currently...
There is a Highwayman thread...
