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

[Seb Lucas]

Waitaminute...that has a collar .

I have a thing for half-belts too. Remember I bought your FQHH half-belt a few years ago? Sold it on but I always wanted another Aero in a medium weight horse.

Darn - that would have been a REALLY cool jacket, ton.

I just decided on this brown Vicenza half-belt from Thurston Bros - no waiting time. Size 42 with my measurements, so I hope it will be ok.

I hope Vicenza is a medium weight hide and not too much heavier than goat.

Nice looking jacket @Seb Lucas congrats although didn’t you say just a few days ago you needed a new CR?

LOL. There has to be a sub forum here somewhere that takes bets on my retention odds. It’s priced so well that if it doesn’t work for me I’ll happily send that same deal along to the next able body who is interested. Perhaps not everybody agrees but that’s how I like to see this place function. Do unto others and all that good stuff.

That's exactly right, ton. A very worthy approach.

And yes, there is a sub forum. Tech mods set it up. Appears on everyone’s but yours

This place isn’t just a hobby. It’s a lifestyle!

Another indigoxblack type3 I bought for my younger brother, thank god it fit him perfectly, i only blind guessed his size, this one has more modern sleeve construction angled down, slim and cleaner, also more waisted on the body compared to my similarly jacket made by other company which has more boxy fit. No visible tab or logo which is better for him.

Well on the opposite end of handymikes success story we have this green machine. It’s about 3” too short in the body for me which is a shame. The leather is interesting. If anyone wants it it’s $35 shipped. Otherwise it goes to Goodwill.

Giving this one a go as my latest incoming jacket. Thanks to Tony's goodwill! I'll post up a pic after my attempted "hide restoration"

Just don't lose the green! It's the coolest!

I’m so excited to be getting the vintage Ralphs-pugh from @technovox later this week!

I ordered this one from Iron Heart last night:

It’s the 19oz overdyed left handed twill. Based on the numbers I think this one is going to fit a little tighter than I like them too, but they make a great jacket and I wanted a black type III.

Idk about this one..., except for my general dislike for denim jackets (I think it's close to impossible to match two different tones of blue denim (trousers + jacket) and looks odd in 99% of all attempts I have seen), this particular IH pattern looks odd. Like the pockets are disproportionally small are they not? Either that or the style is VERY long and slim.

I’m waiting the restock on that one!! That’s the best type III they offer. Sells out within hours. Cotton armor. Well done!

JJ,
I think the pockets are correctly sized and I also think the jacket is quite long and slim. The slimness of it does not bother me too much, as I have their Lee Rider jacket which I think is a bit trimmer even at the bottom. It is the length that I would agree is a bit excessive, I would be happier if it were an inch and a half or so shorter.
Regarding matching up different shades of blue I tend to agree with you, and this is why I went for this jacket which has a black overdye. I will say though that when I do combine blue jeans and a blue denim jacket I don’t look any more odd than I normally do.

Thanks Ton!
I must admit that it was your recent denim phase/craze that had me checking out Iron Heart again

What’s even better is it’ll be delivered so fast it’s like ordering a pizza.

I suspect the pocket is not resized for different jacket sizes, so smaller jacket appear to have bigger pocket and larger jacket appear to have smaller pocket.... common practice.
