    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I asked them about a jacket once. Was shocked how much they wanted considering it was a no name brand coming from China or where ever they are located. Was better off buying a used Aero here.

    Lots of people on the hunt for these, myself included.

    Is it ok to negotiate and/or offer less than the listed price? What qualifies as a low ball offer?

    there's not going to be one correct answer here. I think if something has been listed long time, it's ok to make a so called low ball offer. If something is new listing and has 20 comments in an hour, well... Ultimately, the price of something is what someone else is willing to pay for it...

    How do I buy a vintage leather riding jacket and not get ripped off?

    same here. I have no idea what store you're talking about. Although if the cheapest is $600, that doesn't necessarily sound like a good deal. A few weeks ago I was at Salvation Army donating a bunch of stuff. I look over into one of the other baskets and sure enough a Walter Dyer jacket was...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    that's awesome. Ever since Ton posted that brownish gray 5 Star color, I've been hankering to get a collar like that. What does JL charge to craft a mutton collar? There's been times I've almost bought a Cal just for the collar LOL.

    Inspiration for my bespoke leather jacket

    I think the fashion ones seem a little boring to me. Very oxymoronic I guess. Most of them use lambskin so the touch and feel might be nice, but I don't see the jacket evolving. If this were for 5 Star for instance, I would say yes, you want to provide exact photos of what you want and have...

    Help recognizing Schott jacket model?

    My first 4 jackets were new Schotts. Then I realized it's ok to buy used jackets. Schott is luckily one of those brands that is readily available and of decent quality that will last and flood the market. So you can have your pick in the 300-500 range. Many at the higher end of that range...

    Look, we all playing the same game. Of course you aren't going to post something here that you yourself are bidding on and really want and assume others will want it too. But to ask us all to censor some possible posts here in the chance that someone on this forum might be possibly interested...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    ah cool. good to know. The stuff I'm looking at is shearling too, so I guess I have to adjust for that. But seems like Aero really sizes down automatically. Because a size 40 vest for instance seems tight-21 ptp, whereas some of their jacket styles would have a 22 ptp or more. So that's...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    really nice. I've been spying a few vests lately. Aero has a couple of those outlaw ones that really tempt me. When sizing, are you going by usual ptp or going tighter since you have more manueverability? Trying to figure out with a 42 chest, do I just get 21 ptp, or still need to leave a...

    email Jerri at Schott. She's amazing. She'll track it down for you if any doubt.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    @Jin431 you know what to do? Can't remember if you're a 36 though. 36 vintage is going to be small though. Would it look funny if I wear it with just one arm and let the rest hang off the body. $50 for a 6 panel, padded, racer :eek::eek::eek:

    my opinion only, but I think you post. If we only going to put stuff on here no one else wants, what's the point? Most people who are actively looking for a jacket are probably doing the same searches, although on several occasions someone has posted something that wasn't on my radar and I...

    Help me not screw up my first aero / thurston / bootlegger order

    Granted I like my jackets on the snuggier side, but I think you're like a half size too big in these shots. Too much room on that back shot for my liking. But you did mention you want to layer, so could be good for you as is. Except yeah, you need 2 inches on the sleeves for sure. No...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It's an Akubra Federation IV. Pretty much a rip off of the famous Indiana Jones hat. You can buy from hatsdirect.com It comes open crown. I think you can ask them to bash it though. But most people like to make up their own. Akubra's are amazing. Come from Australia, made for Australian...

    yep, had a feeling. I've got 2 fed IVs myself from The Hattery. Nice folks for sure. Yours looks like Moonstone. I've got the deeper gray, Carbon I think and one in the Tawny. I do have a Moonstone Bushman though that I absolutely love. If you on Instagram, you can tag it with #Akubra and...
