Definitely try them on in store if you can. The attractions store is nice and the guys are super friendly. I think their english is pretty good too.
Others you should think about are real McCoy’s buco engineers, toys McCoy, phigvel... I don’t think phigvel have engineers this year though...
None taken. I don’t buy and wear repro, nerd clothes to impress others, I wear this stuff because I like it and because I am fascinated and obsessed with it.
I also enjoy geeking out about repro stuff with other like minded folk.
@ton312 i can certainly tell the difference between a $3 beanie and a virgin wool ww2 repro usn watch cap.
I also don’t just seek out expensive items but am particular about the details. I travel to Japan fairly regularly so buying there is not necessarily as costly as buying imported gear -...

This jacket looks like a beauty. I wish Aero could take good photos of jackets for the listings. I had a browse through the other jean jackets and some look a bit odd... You snatched the best of the bunch there.
If it doesn't bother you then it is fine as is. I am not sure why but there seems to be a number of Aero B-3s like this floating around. The one that @Tefouane had was similar.
