In a fortuitous twist, DHL went ahead and just delivered my Aero today instead of tomorrow. Now that's service!

Wow man!!! That is outstanding! It looks regal! Is it lined in alpaca or shearling?I remember watching that movie on cable when I was little with my older sister and being scared by it. Here's the brand new Aero, cordovan HH with dark brown mouton

Thank you! Julie Leitch at Aero did a great job on it, definitely worth the money. It's lined in brown alpaca, I can already tell it's going to be a great cold weather jacket. My first Aero experience has definitely been positive.Wow man!!! That is outstanding! It looks regal! Is it lined in alpaca or shearling?
That jacket is awesome!I just bought this Windward. Many thanks to @ton312

This design has been on my radar since I saw that Mushmans made a reproduction of it a couple of years ago.

I had never seen a vintage one for sale and the Mushmans had been sold out so I asked Greg (field leathers) whether he could make me one. He said he could but without the cording because he doesn't have a double needle machine. Stitch lines without cording seemed a bit lame to me so I said thank you but no, let's do a different design.

I'm glad @ton312 spotted this vintage one. Fingers crossed it fits
What a great "terrible" Eddie Murphy movie lol
I feel for you The last two jackets I received from the UK and one from Japan arrived in less than 48 hours. But it not like everything in the US runs like a precision clock.Can people stop talking about custom clearance and delievry time, please! I have two shipments from UK (not Aero) en route since March 23. Status updates from UPS are inconclusive to put it mildly and boil down to some unspecified Brexit-issues. At the same time, shipments from the US are without any issue. Not that the US are part of the EU, AFAIK...
Import duties are fair game for me; it is what it is, but the apparent inability to design an efficient process, four month into the nerw regime is breathtaking.
This morning I bought this womens Harro, probably 70s. Bought it from the first owner, a really nice German lady. When I told her that I collect leather jackets she looked at me like I was nuts. "But why do you want this one, it sure won't fit".
Turns out it's a perfect fit for my girlfriend. Although she thinks it a bit heavy, she likes it a lot. Great leather and very well made. @Robbie79 I think this is the women's version of the Harro you bought last week.

@Marc mndt Congrats. Looks really nice and I can imagine how it smells Condition seems to be really good. And here comes the question of all questions. How does it fit?I just received this Eastman A1 capeskin flight jacket. The smell of the vegetable tanned leather is intoxicating. The moment I opened the pouch it brought back memories of the many leather workshops I've visited in Florence.

The leather is lightweight but not at all flimsy. It pickes up scratches really easily but I think that's part of the charm of the jacket.
This is a pic af a well worn Eastman A1 @John Lever posted some time ago. I hope my jacket will look like this some day

I bought this jacket second hand but it was listed as 'new without tags'. Considering how easy this jacket picks up scratches, I really think it has never been worn.@Marc mndt Congrats. Looks really nice and I can imagine how it smells Condition seems to be really good. And here comes the question of all questions. How does it fit?
You had to do this so early on this Monday!
