That one and don't forget these two. I'm thinking better photos would show these two to be very nice condition. The Cycle Queen is also a larger size with a 20" p to p. Both have the original belt which doesn't happen too often. Neither has a Horsehide tag.

Nice couple, but this listing has been taken down.

Not all the experiences are “bad”, you just need to be aware of what you might be getting and bid accordingly. Your Brooks looked great in the listing.

Yep, I once bought a 60s Schott cafe racer for a great price. Listing said it was in supurb excellent condition etc. Turned out the stitching on both sleeve zippers was busted. Not a big thing, easy to fix. The seller gave me a partial refund. End of story: I got an awesome jacket for a great price.

I'm glad you guys are saying this. I want to reiterate/further clarify that my post regarding the Talon Replacement Zipper being lower quality was not meant to detract from or warn about the seller. Very much to the point of these 2 posts, more of a mild Caveat Emptor. I just have a thing about zipper replacements.......and I tend to try to go to the extreme to do a vintage replacement with an actual real NOS replacement when I think the jacket warrants it. I really was just meaning to point out those knock offs zippers are dicey IMO when you are paying a decent chunk for a vintage jacket. Also, pay attention to the creases/wrinkles in the leather. The jackets all look better stretched across that mannequin when you can't really see the extent/depth of the creases. Just pay attention to them. Some are not the end of the world but others can make the jacket less desirable for sure.

The seller does have some true vintage pieces pretty consistently. Condition can vary though.

I had to throw away a jacker because it reeked, nothing could remove the smell of rancid, smoke, etc it was nasty. When trying to clean up the lining and then the leather separately it started showing mold everywhere. Green/white mold all over the jacket.

The fit was amazing. A german black crosszip but man… i had to throw it away.

25% off Aero stock jackets, applied manually when card is charged.

Aero Leathers 25% off sale Event

As many of our customers currently waiting on made to order jackets are aware, lockdown measures in the U.S. have created unprecedented delays in the supply of the main leather we use – Horween’s Chromexcel, meaning we have a large backlog of work we are currently unable to process.

To keep our factory team working during this time, we’ve kept them busy by having them make up a large number of stock jackets in a variety of other leathers across our range, resulting in us having a much larger than usual number of stock jackets in our showroom.

We’ve therefore decided to offer discounted prices on all jackets in the stock/used/vintage section of our website for the next 48 hours!

There will be 25% off marked prices on everything in our stock/used/vintage section with the exception of sheepskin jackets which are 10% off marked price.

The sale does not apply to made to order jackets or any other stock items on our website - only jackets within the stock/used/vintage section of our site.

Please note - price shown are worldwide prices and this price does not include any duties/tariffs which may or may not be applied in any country which we export to.
