OK. I'm thoroughly confused. If I buy used clothing from Europe and import it into the UK, does that attract VAT? Is there a threshold? I ask because I recently purchased a used jacket from Germany. Declared value was 70 Euros and it was shipped via DHL. I was not charged any duty or VAT. Should...
I remember this place from when I was a wee lad. Roy's Variety, Rt. 101A, Nashua, NH. Truth in advertising, baby. Upon reflection, this might have been Merrimack. Maybe a Granite Stater could confirm.
Thanks for the info. That's quite a high spec. Apparently in the UK you would have to register and tax that since it's more than 250 watts and can go more than 15.5 MPH. Alas, it would probably be liable to VAT coming into the UK too.
Shame about the hole in the sleeve, but this one's got mojo to spare.

Some for you would be aviators in the UK. A flight jacket for every budget:

I had a Sportrider, although I don't remember if they were called that back in the late 90s. It looked like this:
Brilliant jacket. Two ventilation zips under the arms. No armor but thick leather. No pockets on the outside. It is not superficially dissimilar to the models you're considering...
This site seems to feel it's Austrian Air Force:

In fact one of the pictures on that site shoes the badges attached.
@casechopper - I've got a close relative of your jacket. Also Branded Garments NYPD but with faux chest pockets, thinner border on the lower pockets and Talon double zip. Sorry, not the best pic.
This looks rather nice:

Wow that Vanson brings back some memories. I had the exact same jacket (down to the little pocket on the wind flap). From the look of the elbows that one's been battle tested too. Great jacket.
One for the UK folks - I'm not an expert like others in this thread, but this seems cheap for a USA jacket.
