Fit check - Aero Highwayman size 42

[mvilla]

I am part of Aero, you can take use my notes above

Oh well, that makes things clearer... I'll start a claim with ebay

I noticed on aero website that Sheene yoke do not align with the sleeves stitching as well

and the 59er Highwayman has the leather strip at the hem

The cinches I could. Find anything similar, though

Yes you are right regarding the Sheene yoke and 59'er waist band. Not all our yokes meet arm seams but they always have on Highwayman (both classic and Premier).
The waistband of the 59er is unique to that style. We also only introduced the 59er to our range approx 8 years ago. The label in your jacket pre dates that.
I shouldn't really say it but it's not a bad looking jacket but it isn't what you thought you were buying.

Got it. I understand it all and it really is a bummer. I'll start a claim with ebay and will see where it goes. It really sucks, though. I really liked it, but I will not support counterfeits...

At least note down the measurements because the fit is great.

Hahaha yeah, already made it! Took pictures of everything

This was an amazing thread.

This was an amazing thread.

Hahaha for entertainment, maybe... For me it was heartwrenching, with all the aspects of a tragedy novel... Started great and promising to end in sadness and sorrow

Anyway, I thank y'all who helped me, both to realise the fit works and to learn that this is probably a counterfeit

The speed with which members of the forum spotted the fake was impressive. I’m sorry the jacket turned out to be not an Aero. That truly sucks.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as a "fake Aero"... Oh well, I think that's a story I'll have for my future self, to be more cautious regarding these things.

Sorry for this new development.
As others stated, take good measurements ‘cause it looks great.

It's a great looking jacket. If I were you I'd ask the seller for a partial refund and keep the jacket. I would remove the Aero label though.

What do you think would be a fair offer for this jacket?

(And, of course, if I was to keep it, I'd surely remove Aero tag...)

Yeah... Got pretty bummed out with this one... But I've already gotten the measurements, so now I am more aware of what works for me.

If they willfully misrepresented the brand of the jacket than they don’t deserve any of your money but that may just be my opinion.

I wouldn't even bother trying to work with the deadbeat trying to sell you a fake jacket. Dishonest from the start means he'll continue to be dishonest with you if you try to work with them.

Good point. But, chances are the seller doesn't even know it's a fake himself. He probably bought it somewhere cheap, thinking it was an Aero.

It's a great looking jacket, I'd pay $150 -$200 for it.

 

[mvilla]

Yeah, honestly I'd expect that it was a fair mistake, that he got it second hand or whatever... But communication has been non existent after I messaged him about it, so I suppose it'll have to go the tough way...

 

[mvilla]

So, just to make things more interesting, Holly from Aero said that the jacket is genuine, but slightly customised. I sent a new email enquiring further to be 100% sure.

@Hide'n'seek, do you think you could talk to anyone at Aero to get this kind of confirmation?

 

[Harris HTM]

The mystery deepens! Please let us know because it seems such a great jacket!

I've seen a couple fake Aero's on ebay, the hardware is almost always the tell. Last one I spotted was a fake Aeromarine. Looked legit from 10 feet away but upon closer inspection an obvious fake. Similar hide to this one too. Was the seller based in Philly by chance?
Not to jump to judgment to quick, the seller may not be aware it's a fake either....
