CONDITION: Used (obviously) well-loved condition – we sent photos to the Aero company in Scotland and the Aero company dates this jacket to pre-1999 for sure – so it’s retro – the gorgeous exterior has the expected HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER handsome aged patina and rugged “worn – broken-in” leather, scratches from use but no holes. Interior: with handsome signs of age and use to interior lining, discolouration-dirty around edges, tiny wear-holes along neck and inner seams near zipper, to be expected with age/use and only adds to the beauty to these awesome vintage jackets. The metal “Made in USA” TALON zipper works but tricky as the mechanism has separated from one side and has to be gently/carefully placed into zipper box to do it up — this is common with these old jackets. Could be replaced by AERO if desired, but zipper, although a little tricky, does work with extra TLC care when done up. The rust knit trim on sleeves and hemline appears to be in excellent-perfect condition. Please see and carefully examine all photos for condition. Photos don’t really do it Justice – it’s stunning!
