Maple, Cougar,, Brad, Hero in Bison. I own other brands too, but Belstaff (Melenotti era) are my favorite. Looking to add a Panther someday.

What do you guys think of Aeroleather compared to Schott made in USA in terms of quality?

I'd say go with whichever you prefer in terms of fit, styling, and choice of hides. I might give Aero a slight edge based on what I've handled in person, but at that level neither will be lacking from a quality perspective.

The hardware is a little better, and the leather used generally has more character. The actual construction is comparable, with Schott being possibly a little better finished. The real reason to buy Aero is that the jackets have a lot of distinctive and attractive look and feel.

What's your opinion on this Paul Smith (Made in Italy) bomber? Just received it from Yoox on sale for around $700 shipped. It seems to be a quality piece with RiRi zipper. Sizing is spot on and fits me like a glove. Unfortunately, part of the sleeves is made of cotton. The cotton areas have some pilling already on arrival. Should I keep it or not? Thanks.

I would send it back and get a refund. Just picture how those sleeves would look in a year of wear. It looks very cool and stylish but obviously it's unpractical.

Kind of a crappy mirror pic, but I decided to keep that All Saints jacket I posted before. Wore it out for the first time last night and I got nothing but compliments from my mom, girlfriend and all of my friends all night so I've decided it's a keeper haha
