Aero 18775 , from (the) Real Simons

[Shanghai-Mayne]

Thank you.

I managed to register with a second phone number. The jacket is in my shopping cart, I punch in the Hungarian address and Taobao states: The goods cannot be purchased or shipped due to relevant laws and regulations or Taobao policies.

You need a TaoBao Proxy.

Maybe you guys don't know this but that light jacket is natural leather and it will not stay like that.

Natural leather changes and darkens dramatically from UV (sun) exposure (yes it actually gets a suntan) and from wear. It's the same as old school baseball gloves.

Here's a used/aged natural leather jacket which started as that colour above...

Couple more, sorry they're that same "Campus" style but you'll get the idea of what natural leather does over time with wear...

These jackets are giving me serious riding inspiration

Natural leather is a pain in the arse to keep the light colour clean .Unless it's been protected by some kind of clear sealant. You are right Smithy it's why i will stay away from this pale colour ...To be honest i will darken the leather with a nice shade of Light brown of tea /coffee before wearing the jacket. looks definitely better. to my taste.

Wow - I didn't realise that Neatsfoot oil would make such a dramatic difference!
