    Factors/Considerations

    They used to use Talon, but now is the customised YKK. I looked at my friend's Aero, it has ykk stamped on it. But the good news is they still offer Talon as a customisation option. So from this point, you do need to care about customisation.:D

    Aero uses YKK as default choice now...sad... And I think Customizability not just build your own pattern, but also the sizing.

    Factors/Considerations

    Here is my answer. Uniqueness: I dont care at all. Accuracy (Compared To Original): I am with Sloan on this one. And I dont care about accuracy for a civil jacket at all. Only Military repro Jacket Durability / Longevity: Yes, but how bad this can be for the jacket we talk about in this forum...

    Parcelforce shipping question

    I dont think handling fee is a PF/RM only feature. Last parcel I got from US used DHL, and I've been charged handling fee, so at least, I know DHL charges it.

    Trying to date my levis jacket.

    It is mode 80s. Levis started 4 pockets design from the 80s, and they changed that narrow long patch to wider one in 90s I think. I also believe this kind of wash tag only been used in 80s. Also, that 084, I do believe this means 1984. As one of my 1994 levis jeans has 094 printed on it.

    Full Grain v. Top Grain

    You misunderstand my point, I am talking about the photos they posted not the real quality of the leather. That photo is really bad quality and make the leather looks like something else!! I cant judge the quality of the leather unless I see/touch it! But on the other hand, I understand/agree...

    what does "front quarter" refer to...??

    Its not the best part! The best part is called Shell Cordovan, which is a very small area, and normally used for shoe making. I am not an expert in leather, but from what I've learned, the area you mentioned dose not provide even thickness, not very smooth.

    I thought JC just bought some leather form Italy? Cant remember where I read that... So Aero will have some new leather soon? Did they ever use V-tanned leather before?
