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

[Carlos840]

So the first week of January was a pretty intense week of retail therapy for me.
Things are arriving and they are pretty glorious!
I have been experimenting with a new way of taking pictures, not happy with the result yet but i thought i would share these:

I'll take one tomorrow if i can and will tag you in it.
Really nice fit, trim, pretty short even for a Long size, the R version should be good for you.

Take care with the zipper on the Eastman, mine wore out after not very much wear

Cheers, what do you mean "wore out"? Did the male pin tear?
I have had my Californian since 2015 and never had a problem with it.

Where did that two-tone LW come from?!

 

[sweetfights]

Yes, a Search now Realized. I'm sure there is quite the tale to go with this find. I was not even sure they made a size 44 in this jacket. I would say their most, in demand jacket?

In demand in the North American and U.K. market due to the size. They often only go up to a 42.
Had to use an associate I know who lives in Japan and is Japanese. TheWildOne seemed very reluctant to sell it to me until the moment I had my associate contact them in Japanese. They shipped directly to him in Japan then he shipped to me EMS sea. I should have it in about a month.

Congratulations man! Hope you get it soon. Those underarm gussets sure do work!

Glad to hear the gussets work well. An uncommon design. I was hoping they provided arm mobility. Sounds like you are enjoying yours!!

I have had my Californian since 2015 and never had a problem with it.

Perhaps it is due to the cross zip design this happened, could be other things as I bought it 'nearly new' or just bad luck. The insides of the slider became worn and stopped the zip knitting together properly. This inevitably left you with the slider at half mast with the zip open underneath, not a good look trying to wrestle out of that situation when you're out and about town. I contacted Eastman asking them to send me a new slider but they wanted the whole jacket sent to them to inspect it. I replaced the slider myself with a vintage YKK.

I think I remember talking about it on here in a thread about zips . . .

No idea, but I know where it’s going if he ever decides to sell it.

Same place your green deerskin came from, the finest closet in all of the US!

Haha. It really is. A magical place one can only enter by walking through a wardrobe.

I indulged a little during the last 30-45 days or so and everything has finally arrived.

LW car coat in blue
LW cafe racer in their lightweight horse
LW grizzly
Flat Head d pocket in brown
Iron heart 21oz indigo

These jackets have taken my collection up a couple notches. I have a lot of work to do with all of these. Unfortunately the car coat suffered from a broken button on its first outing today but it did an amazing job of breaking the wind and keeping me warm with a sweater underneath in -15C.

Well just into the new year and I have succumbed already. A "Ben Sherman" leather biker jacket.
"Distressed" leather so who knows how that will pan out on arrival ! Seller pictures obviously.
This was not expensive , so may end up a real buy !
What's the wise words from the cognoscenti ?

 

[Blackadder]

Have 4 jackets coming in but only one of them leather. This Rich Sher but of course I got it from the real seller in Japan.

Picked this LW Grizzly up on the Bay this week in a size 44. Granted my Covid weight needs to be dealt with and will be but once the "too much sitting and not enough walking" is taken care of I should have a decent fit.
