How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Got an E-mail from Aero some time last week about my Bootlegger going into production.. I expect to receive a "pay now" e-mail to come through any day now! Both excited and stressed out. My Vanson Dakota is still not properly broken in. Wearing it every day rn to properly break it in so I can put it aside properly broken in before I have to start breaking in the next one!


I expect my natural horsehide 30's half belt, from Aero, to be shipped out tomorrow. And I am still breaking in two Langlitz jackets. I feel your excitement and sense of urgency!!!

Hoping to do another leather field jacket, M65 this time. Need to find some shearling to line it with though, not sure where to look.

Congrats! Nice looking jacket. I didn't dare to purchase one 'cos I have no clue how the quality is let's say compared to LW? The leather thickness is also about 2mm (5oz) and should be as heavy as a LW. How is the leather, craftmanship compared to LW (and perhaps FW if you own one)? Would be good to get first hand experience. Thanks!

Carrie didn't since delays are sometimes common with Thedi. I just hope that this time of year they can ship it in just a few weeks.

Sorry for being downer HD, but I am betting on more like 3 months.

Just imagine how happy you'll be when it does land.

I am a big fan of LW jackets, have a few, and can provide my opinion on comparison.

To me, Lost World jacket is a Ford Raptor. Fine Creek is a Ferrari. I love each but for different reasons. The fit and finish, construction quality, leather and liner quality - exceptional on the Fine Creek jackets. I was heavily skeptical and happily relieved to find the FC exceeded my expectations. The cut of the jacket just adds to my appreciation to the work that went into this jacket. Fitted, no wasted leather, no boxy fit. The leather is as thick/heavy as LW but very pliable and easy to wear. It had a finish similar to naked cowhide.

LW is such a great jacket. Great hide, great construction, great materials. Everything works together in a very balanced way. It’s not the best jacket ever made, but it is an incredibly well made jacket that is designed to work well for whatever situation you put it in. Take care of it and it will last for many generations.

I would grab my LW to ride the motorcycle, cut trees, climb mountains or wrestle grizzlies. I would grab the FC to take the wife to a nice dinner, wear around town, generally wear when I’m hanging out and not working out. :)

Love both. Hard to go wrong.
