Cheers mate, that helps a lot. Did some quick search on Aero Californian, found it looks similar to Westfall, and the strap on cuff looks great with it.
True, I don't think this is horsehide, it is more like goat or steer hide, I did see some LVC jacket label says it is cow hide. But the one I have had the label removed, maybe the best way to find out is to ask Aero
Thanks guys. Actually, there is nothing wrong with the current lining, I think it is silk, and there is no stain or holes. Very good condition overall.
Here is the story: I ordered a BK Westfall in the summer, I was more than happy with the jacket, but after some wear, I found the sleeve is short, because the measurements I gave to BK is about 1 inch short than it should be... So now, I asked BK if they can extend the sleeve, and the answer is...
OK, this is the jacket made by Aero for LVC in 2003 if I am correct. I am luck enough to find this used jacket.
The leather is in very good condition, however, the collar is slightly faded, and the stitching is coming lose around the button holes.
Now, I am thinking if Aero is happy to fix...
I just released that the price difference of GW with others (Aero, BK, el) is not big if you are in US (shipping, tax etc)...But on the other hand, this difference is really big if you are in EU especially UK I think?
GW one looks really great in pattern, detail etc, but I don't like the leather he used on this Imperial, it looks too new? too shiny? It just not kind of leather I like.
