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

I just bought this red Lewis Leathers Lightning. Probably from the 90s

Unusual having the LL patch in a different coloured leather - I thought they always matched? At one point they moved their patches to the top of the left sleeve for a while (I thought in the 1990’s? Or maybe the 1980’s) before moving it back to the chest again after a few years…

That was my first thought as well, but then I googled it and I found this one which also has a different colored patch.

Judging by these pics, It looks legit to me.

Interesting… never seen non-matching LL patch before, learn something every day! :) The all lightening hardware certainly looks right (for later post Clix main zip period anyway).

In my quest for the perfect 42 black CR that fits me how I like, I just pulled the trigger on this one. Im assuming it's going to be too small in hopes that it actually fits! Seller says its black, but Ive also got an odd feeling this one is chocolate brown.

it's going to fit you perfect. I've got same one in 42. Killer jacket. I liked it so much I got a 641xx from Japan in black to match, although that one is a little bit shorter. Will definitely be tshirt only though, but surprising how much give those gussets got. Very comfortable. Pretty much same fit as my Enfield will be for you ;)

I think you’ll need the Flieblings to make it black, but these are great jackets.

I got the same model Schott a couple of months ago on the cheap and am surprised how much I like it. Very comfortable mid-weight CR. The only thing missing for me is an internal pocket for my wallet, but that is an issue with many CRs. They took the form-fitting thing seriously back then, not even a wallet could protrude!

Theres always the "not as described" if it ends up being truly brown / not black, and or doesn't fit! Also have this one on the way, which is definitely Black and I know will fit. I think my June jacket splurge is done until I sell some more of mine.

Given that this opens up a wider range of ethical options, what are good furs to use for a mouton jacket collar? Rabbit? Mink?
Just go for the fanciest shearling. They come in different qualities. As you can see, the dark brown and honey brown are much nicer than the russet. There's only one catch, sometimes these old coats are dry and brittle and the hide falls apart when you fold it.
