What the heck Schott model is this? No epaulettes, etc. View attachment 534542 View attachment 534544

Not sure of the exact model of this one but it looks like a cheaper version of the JD1.

Does anyone know if Aero has longer production times during the summer? During the last sale in October, it only took a few days from 'production' to 'order complete', but now it's been weeks.

It looks like it's longer these days.
I placed my order on June 22nd during the sale and I was just asked for confirmation yesterday.
Now moving on to awaiting production.

I think this is a Brimaco or British Manufacturing Company’s feature. This company was based in Montreal, Canada so I don’t think it’s a US-made thing.

But those are Talon zips...

Could be a replacement zip, no? Brimaco usually used their Lightning zip. But you never know. Have you asked the seller?

This is just my speculation by looking at the only one horrendous photo you posted. Couldn’t even tell it’s a Talon. Judging from the shape of the slider, it could be IDEAL or even LENZIP. Maybe post a few photos of the jacket in full so people have a better idea.

Sorry it's on a jacket that looks just like a vintage Schott cafe racer on the front but has this detail in the back instead of buckles....

There's at least one Montgomery Ward model with similar feature as shown in this thread

You're right! Thanks, I knew I'd seen that feature somewhere here! This jacket has to be more recent as it has a zip-out lining, hence the mystery on make....

1940s Trojan

For repros I've only seen it on LW jackets.
More modern ones is like trucker jacket cuff but with zipper, so function the same but cuff instead of the tab.

 

[mvilla]

I wonder if there is any of those that has a button instead of a snap...

I ordered a jacket from Japan via Buyee. Was hopeful that the listed value would be under 800 USD as a promotional discount took me under that amount, but it was declared at the original value. Arrived in Alaska and customs asked for additional documentation via the FedEx page. Buyee then confirmed that they went ahead and submitted the paperwok and it was confirmed as received by FedEx.

Tracking info hasn't moved or updated in six business days. FedEx hasn't been able to provide definitive answers, and it seems near impossible to asks U.S. Customs questions. Is this just a 'hurry up and wait' situation? I've read stories of much longer waiting times, but I wanted to know if anyone has any tips or suggestions who also experienced delays.

Contact Buyee until you get high enough in their company they give you a definitive answer.

The way it works logistically is that the goods is technically property of the shipper (buyee) until it gets delivered to you. Only the shipper have any say, until it actually gets delivered to you.

It's most likely missing paperwork. Or worse it could be lost. Either way, only Buyee can do anything about it. There is nothing you can do except contacting Buyee until they give you a definitive answer.

I just talked to someone who went through a whole 7 month process to get their Aero jacket through Thurston Bros. Actual wait time with the finished order wasn't that full time, but it does seem that Aero is just taking longer than before, which is true of many makers in fairness.

Late night nonsense question... What would happen if I applied Black Urad to a brown or burgundy leather? Would the Urad pigment actually dye the leather and create some sort of tea core or would it do nothing? Maybe @Marc mndt or @ton312 , who already played plenty with Urad could chime in and give their thoughts on this, just for fun... (Just plain curiosity, not intending to do nothing like this at this moment)

 

[Will Zach]

^^
Not a nonsense question at all, because Urad actually creates a thin topcoat when it is applied. It does not penetrate much ,most of it stays on top. Will it be enough to create a legit teacore effect? One could experiment on swatches of burgundy leather I suppose.

What can I do to hide the stains on this Uber? It’s very naked deerskin? Very soft. It I’m trying to lose the stains that show over time with a uniform coat of something to darken the whole thing.
