Custom pattern with a narrowed waist.I saw this one too. Starting price of $200 with a $350 BIN. Seems pretty low unless I’m missing something?
It's always been called an Aeronaut A-1 as far as I know. At least as far as I've been around.
I recently scored a pair of these in size 32 on Vinted, 110 euros. Absolute steal of a find, and these pants are fantastic. They do run a tad small though, so that's something to keep in mind.
How small would you say? I wear a 34 in most pants(levis, j crew, & other vanity sized pants), and found a nice deal on a pair of Vansons in 35, was thinking it might work well, but any light you could shine on that would be appreciated. Thanks!
I would say I'm a size 32 nowadays, even though I still stubbornly force my way into size 31 jeans. The Vansons I can get on if I really suck in my Covid induced gut, and they fit super snug. I think the 35 will work for you, but be prepared for a snug fit. Best thing to do is go by measurements. Keep in mind leather pants fit differently than other materials, and they are less forgiving because of the thick leather.
Eeeh... Anyone wants to split this with me? I don't need to chaps, just the vest. XD

I'm still not sure if it's the matter of leather vs textile as to why most leather pants appear smaller or whether most makers really cut their leather trousers slightly smaller.
My best fitting Aero & Vanson & Belstaff leather trousers measured exactly the same as my denim jeans and yet felt 10x more constrictive, borderline small. I'd say that even the toughest denim out there has some give while this isn't the case with leather, no matter how soft it might appear.
Which is why I prefer ones with side laces now as I can shape them the way I want (plus they look cool!).

Maybe you could modify the chaps into removable sleeves for the vest?
I tend to suspect that when they've been made specifically for motorcycle wear, it was to keep them well fitting in the event of a slide, whereas a loose fitting trouser might ride up and expose your legs, losing the protection. I wonder also if there's an element of design influence from jodhpurs? Going by all photos and surviving pieces I've seen, the silhouette of leather mc trousers since the 30s seems to echo the direction of travel in the design of horse riding trews, from the big 'elephant ear' breeches to tight-legged options of today.
