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

[jacketjunkie]

I have a Ralph Lauren Barnstormer with shawl collar coming in. Saw it and even though the leather is nothing special and certainly artificially distressed, I couldn't resist. Will post pictures later.

I can top that though, I like the RMC Storm Rider I recently got so much that I am contemplating buying another one in the same size! I tell myself that it would be good to have a back up in case something happens to the one I am wearing As if I don’t already have 20 leather jackets and three or four different denim jackets to wear if something happens to this one.

Lol that’s the very thing that has delayed me listing and selling the Diamond Dave j-100 now I have the ELMC J-100.....what if “something”happens to the ELMC [emoji33]

It’s not like I don’t have the Aero J-100, the Flat Head CR in a similar style or the 2 other CR I have....Pure insanity .....

I am so glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I keep thinking I need another brown half belt just in case anything happens to my Freewheelers Caboose, even though it's my dream half belt.

Congratulations Dude!
That is my grail jacket right there, please post a lot of pics once it arrives.

Very nice.

You know who to PM if that thing does not fit you.

Thanks guys it sctuactushoukd be here today and I'll do my best to get as many pictures up within the week!

It completes my dream Freewheelers trifecta

Well the IH type III overdye arrived this afternoon and it is going right back. Although the numbers looked similar to the other denim jacket I have from them this one ended up being even tighter. Too tight for my liking so I’m sending it back for a return

Finally delivered from eBay Global Shipping-Aero 1950’s halfbelt

It’s a size 48 and the original listing had the sleeves measuring 23” which I took a shot at being incorrect, I haven’t remeasured but theres no way they’re 23”. it looks like someone went to town on the jacket with steel wool or sand paper .. I doubt this is OG patina.. but I’ll wear it.

Sleeves or all around? I’ve found the sleeve diameter to be a real tricky spot with them. They cut them super slim.

Sleeves are the one area that fit just fine. It is cut tight through the body without nearly as much “V” taper as the rider jacket I have. I can button it up completely and it looks alright, but I do not like a jacket that fits me like a button down shirt would.
Ton, I know that you had their indigo serge work jacket at one point. What did you think of it? I am contemplating exchanging this one for that but not quite sure yet.

TBH I didn’t like it at all. The body only tapered about 1” from the pits. It fit like a very nice denim bag. One thing I’ve learned is to send them my desired measurements and have them hand measure the available stock. They have always been happy to do so.

I’m taking a look at the 3sixteen overdye at Self Edge. Measurements appear good, for me anyway, and the jacket is nicely executed

Now that's patina, very nice.

I just received this beautiful jacket from @technovox !
I believe it is a Ralphs-Pugh from the early 1940s.
It will need a few repairs, but it fits great, and man-oh-man is it cool.

Thanks for the tip man! Looks like a great jacket and a bit roomier than the IH as well.
