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

[Mich486]

The repro version that Aero sells is the one with quilted lining which it’ll be obviously a bit warmer although it’s practically the same jacket (similar difference between the rider and the storm rider).

Actually I believe the jacket you posted is a 91-b, then there is the 191-lb which can come with a quilted lining or a blanket and has got also a corduroy collar. IMHO The best deal is finding a NOS from Lee Japan. An original in deadstock or near deadstock can set you back like a leather jacket.

Nice. I went a different route with my hardware, lining and stitching. This looks great (as a moment of doubt about my choices creeps in).

still none, I think I may actually be kinda done with this stuff (at least buying any more of it).

I was just recapping my current interests and here what it looks like:

- 1 currently ordered jacket (long term)
- 1 jacket about to be ordered
- 1 jacket in talks

Then there are the list of what I am lusting after:

- 1 for the design (buttons)
- 1 for the type (longer, maybe a trench)
- 1 for the warmth (maybe shearling)
- 1 specifically for riding (thinking about Lewis Leathers)

There are a few others as well, this is getting quite excessive... how about you guys?

Fear not. I trust you know what you are doing!

I think it would be perfectly ok to start a new thread for that.

The funny thing is, I originally was going the exact same route. The brown lining that @red devil used in his blue LW Leathertogs stuck with me. A number of folks here went with the nickel hardware with this color leather and you rave about the OD stitching. I was set to go and then...went almost totally opposite.

I’m intrigued! I can tell you that the wait should be pretty darn short. Three weeks from order to delivery for me. Should arrive tomorrow.

I bought the Sears D-Pocket in size 38 which was linked in the Deals-thread. Expecting nothing too much from the leather but the measurements seem spot on and I like that d-pocket style, so may keep it as a collecting item and have it remade in more serious hide in the future.

The Cal LAPD arrived today and I am stoked. Same leather as my "best and favorite" Cal, this one is more worn in and about 1.5 inches longer. I am very pleased with the fit and the added length is perfect for off-the-bike wear (I really do prefer short(er) jackets to ride). Too hot for fit pics but I snapped these quickly before placing the jacket in the closet and heading back to work.

After a sketchy explanation from the seller about delayed shipping this new to me vintage blue jacket courtesy of the Finds and Deals thread is out for delivery today:

The collar. The stitching. The half-belt?
The stitching and August collar look very very nice on the photo shown above!

I am thinking Ton has his jacket, is trying it on and taking photos right now!!

Very quick. I confirmed specs a couple of days. This certainly is good news.
