    Freewheelers LaBrea

    Yep, it's still in the plans, i "just" have to build it, but with my dad passing away and me having to take care of his house, finishing the works in mine, spring work to be done, i just am getting delayed and things are taking more time than planned. Fingers crossed i can get it done this...

    Freewheelers LaBrea

    Not recent (2019), just found it on Avenues Facebook page, probably when they received that batch. https://www.facebook.com/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%99%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC-1078607925490291/photos/3019763904708007

    Vanson Raid

    It's still being made today, so i don't think it can be called rare. Maybe uncommon as it is a model that is being made for a specific shop in smaller numbers than the classic Vanson models. https://www.wwag.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/WebSite.woa/wa/DirectAction?action=forceEnglish&page=%2126230...

    Freewheelers LaBrea

    They do. No Aero style shady tax business going on here... Japan price is 319000JPY, international price would be 290000JPY + 5800JPY shipping. Thats 220 euros saved in Tax... Not sure the 5000JPY declaration is 100% safe, i have had customs ask for proof of payment before, not sure what to do...

    Yep, they would declare it as "clothing" and declare a value of 5000JPY.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Are you talking about me? I wrote: "In the end, as long as you are happy with the result and mention it when you sell it on it's all good, but i don't think i would have bought it..." IMO i was not implying that you would try defraud people, just that this kind of detail was worth mentionning if...

    Zippers and watches

    I think regarding scratches on the glass all you can say is "it depends", do you have super fancy saphire glass or not? Scratches on the body definitely, my Titanium Tissot Touch was scratched by sleeves zippers.

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    I have seen two size 52 jackets in close to 10 years of doing this... It's not that these jackets don't show up often on eBay, its the fact that very few people are a size 52 to start with that's the problem...

    Post Brexit import experiences

    Aero could just not charge VAT to foreign clients, or refund it. My brother runs an online bass shop. Prices shown online include VAT. If someone outside of the EU orders via email he removes VAT before sending the invoice. If someone buys straight from the website he issues a refund for the...
