He had a really nice Chopper for sale recently that I was tempted by. I think I saw an ad for his Model B also. I love my Model B from the 1993-ish era. Very well broken in CW, Talon brass zips. The B is just so versatile, on and off the bike. So far, my most versatile jacket.

Yip,I was lucky enough to pick up my chopper from a lovely guy who stayed a couple of miles away, no postage and was able to see jacket in hand before purchase. I've got a gw m444a currently in customs at Heathrow waiting to hammer my wallet,just waiting for the bad news

I finally received this amazing jacket today! It’s an Aero Chips jacket made with Black CXL FQHH, olive stitching, and navy moleskin. I absolutely love the symmetric zipper, belt loop, and side laces. The chest feels a bit too roomy, and the leather is still stiff, so it feels slightly awkward now, but I’m confident it will break in beautifully over time and fit perfectly.

By the way, DHL Express is incredibly fast. It took less than 60 hours to get from Germany to Korea! On the downside, the shipping cost was 15% of the jacket’s price, but still…

Excellent!!! These cop CHP straight zips are awesome whether repro or vintage. And CXL FQHH is just the leather for it. It is an armor.

Big congrats! A difficult pattern to get exactly right, but you got 10/10.

Good choice in the leather too. Really the only one that fits this very "butch" jacket, IMO.
