Attached belt Lesco is somewhat less seen. Great price, too!

From where do you get the impression that it has been restitched at the armpits? I can't spot anything.

You can see double stitch rows here, expanding under the armpit. Not sure what was done to the jacket but definitely some tampering there.

$200 BIN or offer *very* used Aero Highwayman. I tried this jacket and returned it as it did not fit me. Seller was good to work with. Be advised this fits closer to a "40" and needs some TLC...

Why do you think that? The zipper seems to be in the right direction for a male jacket.

It’s listed as a women's jacket, but that could easily be a mistake

Appears to be a US male model with the zipper pull on the right side.

Looks like a US mens jacket to me based on the zipper location. Could well be a small size but construction wise it appears to be a men's jacket regardless of the listing details. I don't honestly see too many VINTAGE WOMEN's jackets of this kind. You see plenty of vintage ladies fashion leather jackets but with Moto jackets, it seems like the older the vintage, the less likely it would be actually made for a woman. Times were different and even if a woman was riding (which we know some were), they likely were wearing a smaller men's jacket in most cases.

I could be off base here but it seems that maybe from the 70s on give or take a few years, you start seeing true women's moto gear made for women.

Anyway---again---looks to be a men's jacket to me.

Seraphin Deer and cashmere bomber 24" P2P $165 BIN OBO ...if you are looking for something dressy and different. Seraphin manufactures for Hermes in France and is very high end. This was a very expensive jacket, I'm certain.

Be patient. Maybe he just got caught between the moon and New York City......and he'll get back to you later.
