Meh. For that price you can get whatever jacket you want. I honestly don't see anything all that special about these Valstarino jackets for that money.

Like this:Can you give me some examples in the sub-700$ price range. No "if you just spend $200 more, you can have this!" bullshit.
LKP You're the one who originally suggested a brown suede Valstarino to me in another thread. Any experience with Valstar and why/why not to buy at this price?
Like this:
1950s College Jacket in Goat Suede - Aero Leather, Scotland, UK
Or more like the thing you picked out?
Considered the Schott one but I want mid to dark brown.
Mid-brown would be OK.
I don't know why, but I don't like the look of the A-1/Valstarino style in dark brown - it just looks much better in light- to mid-brown, to me.
I'm with Journeyman. The dark chocolate just looks off to me.Really? I could see myself wearing something like this everyday:
Though I do like this:
Both are available right now on Yoox, I believe: http://www.yoox.com/us/41596434UE/item#dept=men&sts=sr_men80&cod10=41596434UE&sizeId=
mine is mid brown but i find the choco one sexy tooI'm with Journeyman. The dark chocolate just looks off to me.
Welcome back Dropbear . I've gotten Gustin's 1000 emails about them so far as well. They don't look half bad.

Sorry to hear that. Everything ok? We're here for you if you want to talk.Thanks. It's been a rough few months, so it's nice to be amount friends here- even if I don't have much to contribute.
I haven't owned a leather jacket in 25 years and didn't think they were my thing. The email from Gustin and a little googling on who they are copying for this release and my interest is piqued. And I love the rich red-brown Colour.
They haven't put a price on them, but I'm guessing under $800 and they will be considered competitive?
don't buy from Falcon, just on principle.Thanks man.
I saw Aero and ESL, will look at Fslcon next.
Yeah those cuffs are a bit much but it wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker.View attachment 14185 My main concerns at this stage are tgat it might be cropped too short for me (assuming they don't do slim or tall sizing) and those wide wrist cuffs.
$499. But its "starting at", so I'm not quite ready to proclaim it the greatest thing ever.Price looks good!
they're a fucking nightmareHow big a project are leather jacket alterations? Chest and sleeves.

I certainly hope not. At that price I'd have to think this would be a good bet, assuming the fit and sizing aren't issues.Black is $499. CHL8 is $649.
I wonder if the colour bleeds like 1k mile boots?
Sizing worries me. I think I'd have to go large for the shoulder width. How big a project are leather jacket alterations? Chest and sleeves.

Depends on the shade of brown shoe. Something like a dark boot wouldn't be bad.Would it look bad to mix black leather jacket and brown leather shoes? I'm leaning to CHL8, but black also looks nice.
Obsessing over this shit is more fun than real life right now. Thanks.

Hi Dropbear,
I agree with you, that you're between sizes and personally, I'd suggest avoiding these jackets if you don't think the medium will work. I think a medium jacket can work especially if you wear a 40R suit jacket. If you're a bit bigger than that, you would have to size up to a large which would also give you more length overall.
We're planning on offering other styles in the future, so if you don't get the jacket in this style, perhaps a future style will work better for you.
Best,
Ren
AgreedFair answer.
What's with the new 'insider' label?
A chromexcel jacket just sounds like a bad idea.
