Safer Dealing
I exceeded the 10000 character limit, so here's part two for Buyers. Advice for Buying: The higher the price, the more care and caution you should exercise. Be more careful about international sales.

Lost Worlds Ryder
I had just purchased a Lost Worlds Ryder in size 40 from Japan a while ago, when @ton312 listed one in size 44. The 40 was a good fit on me, but didn't afford much room to layer, and the measurements of Ton's jacket were absolutely perfect for me, so I bought his and put the 40 up for sale. It...- Guppy

Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition
It's interesting to me that the photos in this auction book show the jacket does not have a center seam down the back. All the Bates reproductions that I've ever seen do have a center seam, which for me ruins the look of the jacket. I always thought it was strange, because I couldn't see a...- Guppy

What Aero jacket is this?
I'd think that it's the basic pattern of the body and sleeves that defines the style. Modifications such as different style sleeve cuffs, or different style collar, or pocket configurations, are customizations. Borrowing a style element from one model and putting it on another base model...- Guppy

What Aero jacket is this?
Apart from ebay sellers in India ripping off Aero photos and selling their jackets with the images, I don't know of any confirmed actual jackets that have been counterfeited to be fake Aeros. There are plenty of knockoff jackets out there, though, such as the chinese-market jackets you can...- Guppy

What Aero jacket is this?
Aero can put the sleeve zippers on top or bottom by customer request (if they remember). The Board Racer has them on top by default, while the Cafe Racer has them on the bottom by default.- Guppy

New Scammer
I didn't get any impression that he was trying to scam me at the time, and as he seemed to be a regular forum user I didn't think that was a likely risk. He just asked me if I would sell him something that I wasn't interested in selling. I gave him an offer of exactly what I'd paid for it, which...- Guppy

Buyer Beware. Use Common Sense.
I hadn't been following this thread closely so I only just read this now... Some time ago, Lebowski messaged me to inquire about buying one of my Thedi jackets. I wasn't really interested in selling it, but I gave him a price I couldn't say no to, which was of course not one he was willing to...- Guppy

Identify this vest from Ali express
So I am browsing Ali express and notice a listing for pants. The pants are all right, but what catches my attention is the vest worn by the photo model. I wrote the merchant to ask if it was available, but they couldn't help me. I scoured aliexpress for as long as I could stand to looking...- Guppy
