Need some Aero advice

[WilsonDukeofLizards]

Folks,

I've got my eye on a couple of Aero A-2s and I'm stuck in a decision paralysis loop so I need some words of wisdom.

I've seen this Aero 15142 A-2 on eBay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/3958919949...-aeda-16c1e7149f91|iid:1|vlpname:vlp_homepage

And Aero have a 18775 in their Ready to Wear section:
https://www.aeroleatherclothing.com...42-18775-p---jerky--seal--40----s-6330/s-6330

I'm in the US so shipping fees are a thing and, I'm assuming, import duty.

Anyone have any thoughts to break me out of the loop?

Cheers,

Steve

Either way I think you’ll be happy with your purchase.

My vote goes to the eBay one. There’s no real difference in quality, so go for the cheaper one.

 

[Micawber]

Agreed. Lower offer on the eBay one.

Skin looks nicer and a debut of patina on ebay. And the seller accepts offers, no brainer...

Is it your first A-2?

 

[Silver Surfer]

the eBay jacket is fitted with a proper talon, too. too bad that both have brown knits as against the red russet knits that really off set seal hh........but, that can be changed at some point. make an offer on the eBay jacket.

Not my first - I have a Headwind Bronco from Jay (which may be appearing shortly on the Sale forum)...

Argggh too bad your not a size 44, there is a GW Doniger for 7 bills on the Fedora lounge....

 

[WilsonDukeofLizards]

Yeah 44 is too big, dammit!

Yeah man it sucks, that Doni is really nice...

 

[WilsonDukeofLizards]

Thanks all - I got off the fence and picked up the one on eBay for $650.
