I don’t know much about zipper sizes, but it says this on the back of the main zipper.

Yeah, as it says, thats a Universal-branded YKK zipper in size 5. That´s the largest (in fact only...) size Aero will do. I have found the Universal to be the only zipper in Aero´s offering that works reliable with the heavy hides. You did well...

Danke! :) Yes it is definitely one of the rarer ones. The same design but in beige/brown or brown/beige can be found from time to time but the blue version is rather rare nowadays.
And there is no winter without cableknit! :) It’s a real Irish John Molloy but I usually buy the version for women as it is equally wide but far shorter and somehow looks nicer on me.…:D
I've done the same "trick" a bunch of times, buying the women version instead of the men.
Like you say they often fits a lot better in the length(why are all new sweaters for men SO LONG? been for a while and I don't get it lol) while still fitting great in the chest/shoulder/stomach area.

I can only second that! Those straight and long sweaters these days….:rolleyes: I definitely prefer rather short and V-shaped sweaters and pullovers. Just long enough to cover the belt or to be stuck inside the pants without stuffing in too much:)

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…
