Is it normal that a bunch of middle-aged guys are excited about a jacket that somebody else is about to receive...?

Probably a psychiatric condition ("leather jacket by proxy-syndrom")...

Sometimes I think I get more excited about other people’s jackets to be honest. For one, they don’t cost me a dime, and two, I can appreciate the positive aspects of the jacket without worrying about fit and minor flaws the way I do if it was mine.

Got my hands on this

More pics to come this weekend!

Very nice! Reminds me of "Lupin the Third" for some reason

I just got this on the mail from the classifieds of top TFL fellow Aussie member and all-round nice guy Warren @dinomartino1 , a Chinese copy (Curphey brand) of the Freewhelers Switchyard.
Definitely a good value for money and the fit is just how I like it, slim fit but not too much so I can lightly layer for the mild South Australian winters.
I am definitely not wearing this today, just an early morning trying it on for fit purposes, as it is expected to reach 30C (86 Fahrenheit) today!
The leather smells nice, not chemical at all (it's brand new), the thickness and feel isn't far off from the Vincenzas that I own, the only real noticeable differences with premium makers are the cheaper quality materials in the lining and thread, but overall a well constructed jacket that fits quite well and the medium weight cowhide has good ageing potential and all for a 1/7 of the price of an Aero.
Good alternative when you already have a few (or too many! ) Premium jackets and you just want to try a new style.

FYI Canada and Britain have signed an interim trade deal (i.e., The Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement or Canada-UK TCA) that has taken effect on Jan. 1, 2021, the day the U.K. have cut its final ties to the European Union. I have since made purchases (jumpers) in the UK and the VAT was not charged.

Thanks for that fellow Canuck.

Basically Aero is charging 20% more on international sales.

Would that affect Aero prices via Thurston Bros???

I started buying directly from Aero because the exchange rate from Canadian dollars made it less expensive than going through Thurston bros. That was two years ago.

Nothing changes for American or Canadian customers. Only European customers are affected.

This is so cool and unique, looking forward to the fit pics of this!

So I got a clothes stand and realized that I don't have only 5 leather jackets, how much I would've sworn until a few moments ago that I currently own but... Well, much more, instead. Four or five aren't even in the photo. Six, maybe.

And two more on the way. . . Maybe three if I get Field Leathers. God have mercy.

Aero better get done quick...otherwise I’ll have blown my cash on cowichans. Like this one. Which I can’t wait to receive!

Just received my FW Brown Mulholland! Thanks to @jeo for selling this to me!

 

[Jin431]

Now I know why FW is so desired and why you would want to get both black and brown of the same jacket

Thank you, sir! I'm lucky to get this, I wasn't even actively looking to acquire one but could not pass up the moment to acquire the jacket! I'll post photos later but I feel the size 36 is a perfect fit for me
