Jacket #1 - Aero Halfbelt - Click here to see the full album - $375 shipped. If you buy with one of the pairs of boots I have listed here or with another jacket I'll give a discount. I also do give a discount if you pay through paypal friends and family.

I bought this used a year or two ago and it hasn't received enough wear to justify keeping it. It's time to slim my collection down so this one's available to you. This jacket has interior pockets on the both sides + 2 chest pockets at the top and 2 flap + 2 hand warmer pockets at the bottom. The sleeves have knit cuffs hidden inside them which is great for keeping the wind out.

Leather: Aero FQHH: Heavy Horsehide (this is a very heavy solid jacket that will take extreme abuse with no complaints).

Lining: Cotton Drill

Sizing: I wear a size 46r in sports coats and an XL in most jackets. This jacket fits slightly loose on me. Depending on how you like your jackets to fit this could fit anyone from a size 46 through a size 50.

Issues:
The mandarin style collar has a snap that has popped out. If you look at the photos you'll see that the snap piece came out of the leather and is attached to the other snap piece on the other side of the collar. This is probably a pretty easy/cheap thing to get fixed. I left it as is because I never snapped the collar anyway.

Measurements:
Chest: ~26-27" P2P
Length: ~30"

Look at the photos in the album to see how measurements were taken and more measurements than I have listed here.

SOLD Jacket # 2 - US Authentics A2 Size 48 (fits like size 50-52) with Bomber Patch - $250 Shipped - Click Here for the full album of photos

This is a very nice jacket that fits just a bit too long and big in general for me to keep it.

Leather: Russet Mid Weight Horsehide

Lining: Cotton Drill

Fit: This fits too large for me which is why I'm selling. If it were a bit smaller I'd keep it. I generally wear a size 46 in sports coats. I'd say this fits more like a size 50 or 52 than most 48's that I've tried.

Measurements (Click here to see the full album of photos with measurements shown)
Chest P2P: ~26-27"
Length: ~28"

Sold Jacket #3 US Authentics Size 48 (fits more like size 50 or 52) Russet Horsehide A2 Jacket with Bomber Patch - $250 + shipping

Issues: Has a small nick on the back left side of the jacket. It's shown in the pictures. It's pretty minimal but worth noting. There has also been patches removed from the right shoulder area of the sleeve and from right above the bomber patch so there are some pin holes there from the old patches.

Chest P2P: ~26-27"
Length: ~27-28"

That looks like a Half Belt Deluxe, not the standard HB. Looks nice, too big for me, but good luck.

Just a bump and endorsement: I bought jacket #3 and could not be happier. Shipping was incredibly quick and casechopper was on the ball. Great transaction and jacket!

I'm not 100% sure. I bought it used. I think the guy who had it before me was the original purchaser so I would guess that it's around 5-10 years old.
