SOP+Laer x-zip. That’s a decent price drop from new, but I’m not sure it’s worth it still. Seller might be open to offers though.

Find.

Aero Wayfarer in blue Vicenza. Size 42. $895. With the present exchange rate a new one from Aero is actually less. But a seldom seen model.

This is the 1st generation Hercules MC jacket introduced in 1948 catalog. I have not seen this particular lining in this 1st gen jacket. I've only seen 3 others including two I own. I have one in goatskin and one in horsehide. These all have different linings than the 2nd generation. The company is un known, the riveted on belt loops is the most telling id. Mine do not have Sears labels I have seen one identical to mine with a 40s Hercules label.

I feel deep regret that I didn't just buy a ton of stuff at the Schott factory sale that I knew TFL friends would want, so I could pass on for cost + shipping.

Aero listed new apprentice and used jackets!

Happy to have you buy some size 46-50 L in almost anything leather next year? Ha

I could have gotten you a CXL half-belt, a horsehide Perfecto, and a suede casual jacket (think a more Western take on a half-belt) for the price of a single quality off-the-rack leather jacket. The selection this year was insane.

Dang, I was gonna ask a friend to stop by the Schott sale for me but forgot

Salivating over this one at the moment. Doth thou taketh thy plunge... eth?

In either case for a big chap
