How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Vintage Italian tanker jacket (according to seller) on its way.

New Aero Montgomery black cxl hh a lovely jacket.

Thinking of picking up this Hein Gericke (not me in the photos). What do you guys think of it?

I’ve heard Hein Gericke’s quality has deteriorated a lot- can anyone wager a guess when / where this would have been made?

Please show the Labels on the inside, then I can tell you more. There should be a Tag stating the exact Date of manufacturing, sometimes inside one of the inner pockets.

But HG usually was decent quality, especially pre 2000.

There should be a cloth label inside the Jacket, See above.

Edit:

Should Look Like this.

I wouldn’t worry. Just look at the pictures. It looks real solid.

Weird "R.B.C." half-belt in CXL looking leather coming my way from JP. Totally not an Aero copy.

Any idea what type of leather this could be? Looks like a calf skin to me, but don’t know why they wouldn’t specify on the tag

Would you say it's worth $250. Obviously subjective, but I've never owned a HG before, so not too sure

Okay that is one of the newer tags/labels.
You can be pretty sure its calfskin or cowhide, non expensive real motorcycle jackets are never made out of horsehide and sheepskin/goat are not suitable. Every normal HG I own is made out of cowskin.

Not worth 250 Dollars in my opinion, I never paid over 120 Euros for a HG, not even the much nicer "Classics" models. The model is nothing too special, should be able to find Something Like this for much less.

Got it, thanks for the insight!
