Great review, Marc thank you! I don't own a campus jacket but the MF "Ringo". I believe it's made from the same leather as the Campus. I agree with you, the leather has a dull optic. But like you did with some TLC and Urad, this can change the appearance of the leather tremendously. For my part...
Thank you! In fact, the Highwayman cut is often problematic (I had numerous), sometimes too boxy and too short in the front. Maybe it has something to do because the earlier jackets were cut a little differently. I am quite happy how this particular Jacket fits me :)
Thank you! The grain and haptic of Connolly leather reminds me of some kind of Leather Aero used in end of 90's / early 00´s. If I remember correctly it was a black Steerhide too (or could be a Goatskin as well) with some blue undertone/dye.
Just a quick question about early Aeroleather Steerhide Labels were used, @cloudylemonade @Hide'n'seek
Is there a difference/reason about blue or red letters were used or it is only a "cosmetic thing"?
What was meant by "deluxe", special processing, material etc.
Maybe there is a Forum Member...
There is another Connolly Highwayman right now on Mercari (Japan) in nice condition & attractive price it's a size 40" too, the numbers are the same like on mine...
Today is a good day. A jewel has just landed, an Aeroleather Highwayman leather jacket in Connolly Steerhide! Label indicate it's from 1985 - 1987, hardly worn in almost NOS condition.
Many years ago I won such a Jacket on auction, but unfortunately it didn't fit me at the time and I sold it to...
Nice jacket, no question! From my experience more than 50% of RRP from all known manufacturers for a 2nd Hand Jacket / used Jacket is already a profit - GLWS!
