Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[Al 916]

edit, never mind I saw the made in USA in the tag. Still exercise with caution.

I think that's another made in China jacket. Using the washing machine and then hot dryer was very popular for their stuff a few years back. While it is technically shrunken grain sort of, the zippers warps after the treatment, and high heat drying sometimes compromises the leather integrity, hard to see from just photos.

There are a lot of made in China jacket being sold in Japan in the low budget category (under ¥30,000). While they're not bad jackets, there is also no need to overpay for them. Just give a quick search on Aliexpress. You'll probably find better deals.

My first thought when I saw it was heat damage (it has a slightly 'melted' look about it). Good to know this was a thing - thanks T

having owned a russet goatskin bootlegger, the leather on mine looks much finer than this. also, i believe many aeros have a snap on the interior pocket.

That looks exactly like a jacket you would buy on Ally Baba or whatever the heck it’s called

I wouldn't consider that grain....just crap leather.

So I went to take a closer look at the custom 30s half belt. While the price was really great, there is a spot in the front that would concern me. It looks like it got wet and then dried too fast and created that fold which made the bottom zip wavy. If you bought the jacket and can't unfold that crease, just send it back. In theory you can use some fatty conditioning to soften and flatten that crease. Full veg tan goatskin has its issues with water and heat drying, fat usually can fix a lot of things veg tan, but not always.

Sellers feedback was in the 80's so people were probably hesitant to bid.

Here's my "Aero"....the label fell off....should it smell like plastic?
