My wifea
She's just returned from e trip to London, where she actually saw and tried on the mentioned jacket at the RL store.
Her judgement is, that the jacket is well made - with a nice fit.
The sheepskin is soft and light - where as the reinforcements - made from other leather - is rather stiff and almost cardboard solid.
Knowing a little bit about aviation jacket (wonder from where) she said, that she would not pay that amount of money for a "look-a-like aviation jacket"
- I was relieved
But...would she buy it say for 35% of the cost? In other words, was it nice enough to pay what we pay for a real repro from GW, ELC, Aero, etc?
Dont't think so - to be honest. She is not into jackets like that - be it aviation, biker or whatever - at all.
So I think, it had to be at least 50% of the cost if she should ever think about it.
History isn't what brings her on. Usability and look is.
Plus quality/price
She would buy it if she liked it, it looked good on her and the price was right. NOT because it looks like a B something...
I am married to a strange woman!
