    So, what happened to Mark Moye then ? Has he filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy, or is he living on the dark side of the moon with Elvis [huh]

    Horsehide "bleeding" on shirts worn under the jacket

    Rayon linings can bleed when wet. A while back I had a new in box 1950's Foster G-1 jacket. The dark purple lining stained my shirt when soaked. No real problem as it washes out.

    Because there is more protection using credit it's always a good idea to make your Visa/Mastercard card the primary source of funding on Paypal. In the UK I think we have even more protection because Paypal cannot access a linked bank account without permission.

    If you paid by Paypal funded by credit card fill in a credit card charge back form. As I've said previously, this is not time limited. I've successfully done this six months after a dud Ebay purchase. The loser is Paypal as the charge is against them (assuming the miscreant has an empty Paypal...

    In the UK we have a small claims court. For a small fixed fee someone out of pocket can apply on-line for a court order for things like nonfulfillment of contract. Seems a much better route than going to criminal charges and expensive lawyers for small cases...

    OK. It does indeed look like Mr Moye was made Saint Moye for no good reason.

    Interesting post but it's bad form to use unattributed quotes.

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    What's the difference between a factory rep, as Mr Moye called himself, and an "affiliate/distributor" ? I doubt the average Ebayite and non-forumite would make one ! As for profit margins. The Aero Scotland website includes 20% UK VAT. Obviously, being non-EU, Mr Moye didn't have to pay that...

    Evidence of time travel?

    Plenty of bikers wore logo tops. It could be Matchless motorcycles. The camera is a small folder and the glasses are mountaineer/ski side flap type.

    For a decade Mark described himself as "My name is Mark Moye and I am the factory representative here in the U.S.A. for Aero Leather Clothing Co., Galashiels, Scotland. Opened in the spring of 2000 ..." It's right there on his Ebay store page. His bay name is aeroleatherusa as his email...

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    Well, I've just spent an hour or so reading through the whole thread. Couple of points I have a hard time understanding. Mark Moye had a trade account at Aero. Presumably he paid after shipping within 30 days. The orders were backed by hefty customer deposits. These confirmed sales are...

    What about the European catalogues?

    Most influential ? The American clothing industry was largely run by European immigrants. They brought their skills and ideas with them. Denim,of course,is French http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denim

    Don't you think you should look at a Scottish made Aero before posting. A new jacket made by them is not under £200 ! There was a black horsehide Highwayman in the Simon shop in Chiltern St on Friday you could compare.

    Made in China - Monarch A-2 repros

    Well, your 'American concept' was to buy a fake Swiss watch ! Plenty of quality items come out of China including my Sony Laptop and iphone. Would I buy Chinese leather goods ? No, Italian, Japanese, British and American tanning is superior.
