I’d need the 44 in that Vanson. My HWM is a 40 though.

Tried to buy an Aero here today for 80. Figured it was a con. Made an offer with buyer protection. Found the photos on eBay. Account was shut down then. Why can’t the Aeros for 80 be legit?! :eek:
I see a lot of great jackets 36 in Japan god why can't I be in my 20s again haha anyway Liam fingers crossed Ireland v France :p

Yeah there are quite a few cheap-ish Aeros in JP listings, but @Canuck Panda has warned us in the past to avoid those super cheap Aero jackets from JP as there's usually serious issues with them, especially with the leather itself.
The ¥30,000 ($200) Aero jackets in Japan used market are usually older jackets, from the previous management, sizing can be very different, and lots of mystery leather. Must have very good photos before purchase.

a very nice Ale model that I have been watching for a while


love the depth of color on the shinki and the way the hard creases have set in

should slip in just under de minimis (USA) with the current sale.

for some reason, on fromjapan the store promotion doesnt seem to be applied. on buyee it is, but they don't have active coupons or the negotiation feature.

24.5” chest. Hole at one elbow. What’s an adjustable inner collar? Is that for comfort? Wind and warmth? Neck sweat?

This jacket was made by Roughwear Clothing. They patented the inner collar in the mid 1930s. It is a simple corduroy collar on the inside neck opening. This jacket is from the 40s.

it's a pretty good time to find a deal in japan mercari, a lot of shops seem to be running sales.

For example:

PLvDXeU3YNg8nPcS5tWi6C.jpg


sz 42 lindberg (chest only 50cm...)

187000 original listing price
112000 shop sale from this specific seller
100800 fromjapan sale (10% off mercari)
95800 fromjapan 5% coupon

You could theoretically try to negotiate for another 10% off, but if the shop sale expires before fromjapan negotiates and purchases the item, they will not refund you the difference. And a shop is probably unlikely to give you a further discount on an already 40% off item.

Size 38 Rainbow Country x Mushmans Windward in great condition, with a "Buy It Now" price of 109,800 yen (~$730).

I would've bought it in a heartbeat if the size was larger - it's a really nice price for a relatively rare model. I have several RC jackets/bags and can definitely attest to the quality of their leather.

Edit: I also noticed it comes with the original hanger, which is a nice touch. Mushmans uses hefty beechwood hangers (I got one when I pre-ordered from them last year).
