Yes, this is the battered seal.. so far I really like it too.
I like it!! the fit is absolute perfection.. It does look a little smooth... so its gonna need some breaking in. you're 2 for 2.. the LW is perfect also.
.. Ha ha..
Ive been following along on instagram and if possible I would love to stop in..
Any idea what Eastman do with their seconds.. I cant imagine every jacket assembled passes final Quality Control.. It would be a terrible waste to discard an "almost" perfect jacket
Nah..I wouldn't wax a leather jacket... I could see that making the jacket gunk'd up and sticky
Get the Goat if water resilience is important.. The Aero goat Ive handled is beautiful..
In comparing the battered HH to Vicenza i would say that weight-wise they are similar, i think Aero considers both of these to be "Mid-weight". though neither are light except when compared to CXL
the feel of the Vicenza is a little softer and smoother, the Battered has a nice crispness to it...
Ive owned a few Eastmans and a few Aeros.. and there is a difference in the jackets produced by each maker... the only way for you to decide which is better is to try both.. since that is fairly impractical. Ill repeat what was already said.
if you can fit the off the rack Eastman.. buy it
If...
Interesting jacket, Im sure you'll never see another like it.. That said the sleeves are way too long..
Although most people you encounter in your day to day won't notice..
You're asking a slim segment of people who obsess about jackets to give you an opinion.. bottom line is if you like it, it...
So you got to keep the money, the Buyer was refunded, Japanese authorities seized the jacket? weird but I guess everyone made out ok.. including the guys in customs who are wearing a new jacket paid for by the government.
