Now that winter is here, and after my investigations upon M-422A (which I finally ordered at Avi Leather), I'm waiting for it, but I already suppose that it won't be warm enough for winter in western France (last week : -1/+8°C for example).
So I am reading all I can about B-10 and discovered lately that it was possible to find "Low Budget Repro Makers" for cloth jacket too.
I don't know if I can afford one this year, but every information is good to get, and I wanted to have your advices, pros & cons, tips for the size depending on the brand sizing you've noticed, in other words, what are your experiences with this kind of cloth jacket for low budget?
For the moment, I've found (with € prices for european member when it is possible):
- Bronson MFG : 179$/159€ (and I love the red knitting with the kaki one like a Buzz Rickson one), made in in China ? 2 colors.
- ATF : 189.99$, made in USA? No shoulder roundel.
- Five Star Leather : 120$/106,04€ (I like the kind of "sand" color, and the fact that Five Star can do custom jackets), made in Pakistan. 3 colors.
- Bob Dong : 204,81€ on Aliexpress (I can't read what's on Taobao). 2 colors.
- Aero Leather : £375.00 more expensive but everything is customizable (Collar, Lining, Knit Colour, Decals).
If there are european guys that have experienced the taxes with these brands, it will also be interessing I think, even if it differs from one country to anther, It can give an idea of the whole budget for this kind of jacket.
Thanks ! And I hope this thread could be interesting for somebody else .
(updated : I've added Bob Dong B10 jacket)
