I've seen some really nice ones with great fit pictures but they have all been distressed. All the new ones look like ****. AND aero and vanson take like 3-5 months to get your jacket made. **** I want one now!

Do you have a Vanson stocking dealer near you? Check their website. When I got my Comet I had to special order because it was customized but my dealer had a few jackets in stock and ready to buy -- no wait required if you fit the "stock" cut. They're out of business now.

By the way, the Aero/Iron Heart collab jacket looks like an interesting piece. Personally I think my FQHH Aero is stiff enough; the Cafe Racer collab will feature thicker leather than Aero's standard FQHH! The jacket will stand up by itself, as evidenced by the pics in that thread.

This one is actually pretty nice.

She does look nice indeed.

Might be a sample? It's from a blog from this store http://www.glamour-online.jp/ when they visited Paris' As far as I know, it's never been produced in horse leather Here's a list of all colors seasons 99aw　牛革（黒） Calf Black 00ss　牛革（茶）Calf Brown 00aw　牛革（赤）Calf Red 01ss　牛革（黒、茶、ベージュ） Calf Black Red Beige 01aw　牛革（黒、茶) Calf Black Brown 02ss　スウェード（ベージュ） Suede Beige 　　　　オイルドコットン（茶）Oiled Cotton Brown 02aw　アンティーク加工（黒、茶）Antiqued Leather Black Brown 03ss　コットン（黒、茶）Cotton Black Brown 03aw　 04ss　 04aw　ウォッシュドレザー（茶） Washed leather brown (double zip_ 　　　 ＊フロントがダブルジップ 05ss　牛革（黒）Calf black (reproduction of first model) 　　　 ＊ファーストモデルの復刻 　　　 牛革（白）Calf white 05aw　スウェード（ベージュ、黒） Suede beige black 06ss　牛革（黒、茶）Calf black brown (changed to smaller zippers) 　　　 ＊ジップが小さめに変更 06aw　牛革（黒、茶）Calf brown black 　　　　鹿革（黒、茶）Deerskin brown black 07ss　牛革（黒、白）Calf black white 　　　　コットン（黒）Cotton black 07aw　ラム（黒）Ram black 　　　　シープ（紺）Sheep navy 08ss　牛革（黒、ベージュ、コニャック、白） Calf black, beige, cognac, white 　　　　コットン（黒）Cotton black 　　　 08aw　牛革（黒、白、キャメルブラウン）Calf black, white, caramel brown 　　　　鹿革ムートン（黒）Deerskin mutton (I don't know what this means) black 　　　　ワックスド＆ベイクド（黒、茶、ベージュ） Waxed & baked black, brown, beige 09ss　牛革（黒、白、キャメルブラウン） Calf black, white, caramel brown 　　　　コットン（紺、オフホワイト）Cotton navy, offwhite 　　　　牛革（ムラ染めグレー）Calf, irregular gray dye 09aw　牛革（黒、ベージュ、ボルドー） Calf black, beige, Bordeaux 　　　　ウールフランネル（グレー） Wool flannel gray

Deerskin mouton is shearling. I vaguely remember it because it's not that old of a season.

The ~05 models all had MRS zips, they changed to Riris in one 06 season, and then it's been YKKs (like I use) since.. and that black/black one might be a future season prototype, as you said, since it also has the YKK's in neo black.

They also changed construction of the jackets a bit, the shoulders and sides are felled on the new ones, I don't really like that because I feel it interferes with the aging process and felled shoulders are more delicate as it raises the seam to a pipe that you can easily nick or damage somehow. When leathers contact water they get a nice shrinking and puckering at the seams and so I like flat seams on these jackets, keeps the purity of line.
Also, I think this design looks best in heavy calf, because of the fit. It's boxy and is supposed to move towards the back when unzipped, and tent over the kidneys naturally. The new softer leathers wouldn't do that.
