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

[Tom71]

I already have it figured...LW j-24 for the most 2020 post/thing/surprise to date. I’m talking full regalia. Forest green elk hide, russet mouton collar....iridescent purple quilted liner...tell me I’m wrong.

Your mixing things up, Tony. This is Trenchfriend´s new stunner. If memory serves you got the specs right, but it reads "rhombus quilted liner"...

I'm still not sure why but I had to buy it because I don't think I'll ever get a chance to find a better priced Freewheelers Sunset (Bootleggers)

I missed the opportunity on a deerskin Darius (Afraid it would be too short for the style) but this has been relisted for weeks and the price was lowering so at ~580€ it's a steal I had to put my bid and I was the only one. Then we'll have to see how customs murder me but man...this is a beauty! Hope it fits because it will be a fun one to wear, specially here where the sun hits all year.

Congrats! Sounds like a good deal. I saw it on Buyee. If it fits you well, I'm sure you will love it, especially the butter-soft deerskin. This is one of my favorite leather jackets.

Thanks! It's a bit of a risk but I'm crossing my fingers too. If not I'm sure I won't have trouble moving it on as it is a Freewheelers and it would be located in Europe already.

Thanks! I was almost considering your A-1 but I've learned that I don't really like the knit necks or cuffs so decided against it although they're really warm when the cold hits.

I was looking at "Seabiscuit" screenshots I took a while ago, and decided to buy the Sunset. There's a cross zip jacket in a similar colour.

Neither of these are on their way to me yet, looking for some feedback on which color to choose first. So these are Alphas B-15. I just happen to like the look of B-15s (and a lot of other military gear) but I’m not a military guy. I’m no sticker for authenticity. I also need like actually need a fall/early winter jacket and this would fit the bill. So yes I know Cockpit has a more authentic version and then going up from there Buzz and RMC. But, again I’m in it for basic design and to fit the need so these are just fine. I just can’t decide on color. I don’t need black or sage/military green. I’m stuck between the blue and this darker green that for some reason they are calling Navy. I’ve included a picture of the blue but two of the green. Because in some lighting it takes on a very dark hue and in other lighting a lighter but still darker green than the sage. So TFL friends help me decide. I legitimately like both an awful lot and have stared at them both on and off for 2 days now and have not been able to pull the trigger. Let’s hear what you all have to say in regards to the two colors!

The middle one! Is that the darker green? Looks like a deep forest green. That’s my pick. Very cool!

That’s the thing there’s only two. Blue and green. The green one looks different in different lighting. It’s apparently the same exact jacket just under different conditions. Which is my hold up. If it always looked forest green that would be my choice hands down. But under other lighting, it takes on a green I’m not so certain of.

Ah I see. I didn’t realize the middle and last were the same jacket from two different retail outlets. In that case, choose the retailer with the better return policy, but I’d still take a crack at the green. I bet it’s somewhere between those two photos.

I am eagerly waiting for my new aero A1 in battered steerhide same leather as the shackleton waistcoat to
arrive hopefully before xmas can't wait.What i am really interested in is my next jacket order is probably gonna be a maxwell in seal or russet vicenza with lochran medium weight ***n tartan which is my clan tartan i am from Edinburgh Scotland and always go for this tartan how do my good friends in the U.S or other Countries feel about tartan lining in there leather jackets.cheers, James.

Any other opinions on blue v green? Even thought for some odd reason Alpha is calling the green “Navy.” Not that @ton312 ’s opinion isn’t like top of my respect list, it’s not the only one haha.

 

[handymike]

Welcome to the Lounge James!
I have it in my Aero, but it is heavier than I’d prefer. I used to own a vintage Aero that had a red and black checked wool liner that was super soft and fuzzy, like an old friend or favorite flannel shirt. This is what I like- or satin which feels amazing to me. If I were a Scot, a family tartan would be a no-brainer. As I’m not, I like the more modern takes from Anta.

Ye i know what ya mean,i recently had a wee brows on my family clan history and could not believe the feuding
and clan warfare that went on especially with the keith clans,on my maxwell jacket i think i am gonna go for the modern ***n tartan if my memory serves me well i think its a darker green,my aero 30's slim fit is seal vecenca
with the ***n tartan obviously, a nice midweight jacket.many thanks cheers james.

dannyk,
I have an Alpha MA-1 in “replica blue” It looks pretty similar to the color you posted. My jacket is definitely blue with green tones and I think it looks great. I say go for it, it looks like a pretty cool color in both of the photos you posted.
