Oh I have no idea. No doubt a bunch of other folks around here more clued into Aero know. It’s just a jacket I always stop to look at when I see it.

omg! I missed this one. Thankfully too small for me with that sheepskin lining. What a beautiful jacket.

What does this go for in $$?

Oh hey, this is mine. Actually bought it from Japan thanks to it being posted on here a few weeks ago. If anybody is interested I'll sell it for what I paid plus shipping (probably $300 give or take)

It won’t be a small amount. The less than accurate title of the seller’s auction may keep it down a bit.

Which one of you is this?

About 2 years ago I started buying leather jackets. Within 6 months bought 20, both new and used.

Interesting to see how the pocket welts are constructed. Instead of nicely folded they're cut out with the rough edges showing.

Yes, I’ve seen that before on Bucos. Pretty sloppy if you ask me.

This is a weird one. I was thinking it may be a J-71 like the jacket above. All of the J-65s I’ve seen have a snap on the top lapels and double welts at the pockets. Most of the J-71s I’ve seen have the studs and no welts at the pockets. I have seen however a J-71 with double welts so no welts isn’t necessarily an indicator.

Doesn’t look like the wBay jacket had studs them and they were removed.

This is a j-65 I saw at fake alpha, looks identical to the one on eBay except for the mouton collar.

Is that mouton collar permanently affixed to the jacket? I don’t see any button snaps at the back of the neck.
