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

Photos on his instagram are copied from different sellers on Taobao. Perhaps a reseller of Taobao's items?

You get tons of these on Taobao and if you check the feedback, you may find some review photos in stead of product photos.
Below the purchase button etc is 累计评论 which means feedback. For example like this one below shows 11 feedback with two posting fit photos.

Thanks
Typically i would avoid ordering from the area because of the difficulty in navigating the websites. Would you please give an explanation/comparison to what exactly taobao is. Price of the jacket shipped to the US is $430

Taobao is kinda like a Chinese Amazon

What Boyo said. You are also getting the made in China items directly from the factory or original supplier. Many of the stuffs on Taobao are being resold on ebay and Amazon.

Tread lightly. I’ve had of these jackets (Cidu) and while it wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t great either. Ultimately I feel like they are never as good as the look or you’d hope but they aren’t terrible. That price you quoted will leave you disappointed. $200 and you’d be happy.

Yeah, i slapped myself and reread the minimum usage thread. I need to wear this IH and if this Ship John works out that too. Who TF is looking at jackets anyhow. We’re living in a brick oven right now

$175 is more like a decent value. Maybe $200, shipped. That's what they used to charge for a Cidu and similar a few months ago. $430 is way too much.

Brutal. I’m so done with it it’s not even funny. The lake is probably boiling right now. Sad not to be able to take a late summer dip. Wife just asked if I wanted to walk 6 blocks for a farmers market food truck dinner....

With my brown Mulholland for sale, I needed a replacement (needed of course ). I've loved the Mushmans collaboration jackets with Electric Leather Studios for quite some time now. Some of them are a bit out there, but that's also why I like them. I am sure that this one will not be to everyone's taste, but I obviously love it. It's their version of the Indiana Jones jacket. It's a cool jacket being sort of A2-esque. I've had a couple of A2s and liked them, but this version, slimmed down and with a unique leather is a more modern update in my opinion.

The leather specifically is probably my favorite aspect. It's Badalasssi, my favorite cowhide in the world and my second favorite leather after Shinki Hikaku. The color is called prugna, which is a sort of purple/burgundy color. This is perfect as it fills that darker brown-ish hole left by the Mulholland while being more unique. Plus, purple is my absolute favorite color and this is a purple that is wearable. My new White Klouds will be burgundy so this jacket should match well with that. The only thing I don't love about it is the handwarmer pockets, but they're pretty well hidden and they are part of the original Indiana Jones design so I can't be upset. Plus, it was time to have something besides Freewheelers in my collection.

Normally I would not order the new jacket before selling the old one, but it's a hyper limited pre-order and I got the last one in my size. I think they're only making 12 in total, so there was probably only 1 or 2 in my size at most. Fujita-San of Mushmans told me it will be done in November/December, just in time to be a Christmas present and just in time for cold weather here in socal. Anyway, I need to stop writing a review before I even have it. Here are the promo pics.

Very good choice. I love that colour and design! I was actually talking to Greg Fields about four months ago to make me a jacket of Prugna Badalassi. At that time he didn't have access to the maker due to the lockdown in Italy and I therefore went with the navy blue Shinki instead. Can't wait to see your review in December!

 

[red devil]

Prugna is a colour I have had in mind as well, pretty sure you will be happy overall

 

[Downunder G Man]

Very nice indeed. Has "shades" of the Vanson Ike I have been wearing since it arrived on Perth Western Australia.

i do occasional leather work, and i actually got leather from both the shinki hikaku tannery, and from badalassi carlo, specefically i have a shoulder of pueblo, and some shoulders in minerva box from badalassi, and i have a limited edition sapphire colored tea core pony skin, with heavy pull up from shinki.
my favourite leather thata i own is the shinki, but the most luxurious is definitely my badalassi carlo minerva box which is a tumbled veg tanned shoulder that has been given animal oils.
so all in all i think what you are waiting for is going to be an abseloute stunner of a jacket, and im quite jealous

Oh nice! I hope he gets access to this color soon. I'm definitely excited for December. Should be a perfect Christmas present to myself

I'm pretty sure I will. Very excited about this leather.

Cool. Model J?

Glad to have your thoughts. The Badalssi leather on my Aero that I had was absolutely stunning so I know that this will be as well, but with a more unique color so I am quite excited. Badalassi is indeed luxurious. I'm very excited about this jacket.

Badalassi comes in some nice colour variations. Btw “prugna” means plum in Italian.

edit: because my English is still sloppy after 10 yrs living in her majesty’s land

 

[J Leather Investigater]

Congrats! Perfect fit and nice jacket. I‘ve just contacted Aero regarding this white dotted horsehide ​

Will love to see it

Just arrived, Pike Brothers N1 Deck Jacket...Khaki/Brown

Just a few first impressions.
Over all finish of fabric and lining is good, details finish is just OK for the price, not more. Button holes, zipper tag... not really produced convincingly clean for example. My French Pea Coat for a similar price tag is produced way better, beside that I just payed half price for that.
Product care is heititei-hand wash what is okayish for me but appears not to fit real specs of utility clothing in my opinion.
Size is US-XL on the outside, inside dimensions run smaller due to thick woolen insulation. Could maybe wear a thin jumper underneath but for sure no layering, thick sweater or so in a comfortable way. This not due to a tiny Tuborg-muscle but to shoulder width and arms.
Over all a very good pub jacket. Just a Henley or so and that jacket thrown over, way warm enough for a winterly pub tour and if you’re after this style it is just OK for the price.
If you’re after a rugged, warm, comfortable and easy to care jacket go rather for an Arctic quilted Carhartt work line Duck jacket or so at half price or less instead, just my opinion.

Cheers

Sweet, I caved in and bought a RMC N-1 at Christmas, after biting my fingernails over one for about two years. It's a great jacket but quite light, I'm thinking I should have bought a Pike Brothers version. On the other hand the alpaca is soft as butter, not itchy at all.

 

[Turnip]

I have to confess that I didn’t find the Pike lining any itchy. The more you wear it the more lard you rub into the lining anyway, kinda self softening...

Still waiting for SB CR in Shinki, so I put an offer in for a Bates Atlas CR. It was accepted.
