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

[ton312]

My yin got yang’d! This one…I like! Better start watching the Bulls again I suppose. I have to say, these Polo wools are actually quite surprisingly nice. Materials are good and Ralph definitely paid attention to the originals. Much more so on this one than the first one I snagged.

Great fit, needs pheasant protruding from pocket.

To arrive soon, Lonsdale Knutsford.

Returned it. Too thin, too light and slim sleeves for elementary school kids.
Will be replaced with a Carhartt Sawtooth.

How could I not buy this!?? The answer is I couldn’t. And it’s a real oldie!

 

[Turnip]

Sawtooth arrived, now that’s the real deal!
The Quick Duck canvas leaves a very reliable impression, weight is about an Arctic Traditional Coat at same size but it is way less rigid. Due to 60% cotton in the shell the Parka is no fissling plastic bag like some others. No less than eight (six fleece) lined front pockets, including four handwarmers, windproof, waterproof, breathable, not much left to wish.

A worthy pursuit indeed

Been greatly desiring a padded jacket and considering JL / Langlitz / Vanson.

I think the spot work looks cool and Thedi is hard to beat.

Updated measurement pics actually looked spot on for me, fingers crossed!

Grey cowhide?

 

[Mrfrown]

Grey cowhide?

He described it as blackened brown, all the pics are inside so hard for me to tell.

 

[red devil]

Mine is grey

It is very confortable as well and easy to use

I added some Walter Dyers because I just like them so much along with a sweet Cal. Big question: what is the deal with these Park V jackets I keep seeing? Leather looks heavy and made in USA. Under appreciated or junk?

Just came in-WB Place-Deerskin

Bought this fringed British Cycle Leathers jacket this morning. Too small for me but Santa is going to put this one under the Christmas tree for my gf. Nicest fringed jacket I've ever seen. Fingers crossed it will fit.

I don't know if Joan Jett ever wore a fringed leather jacket... but if she did, it woulda been the one you just bought...

 

[Yamahana]

Seller lowered the price and I could not resist any longer. My wife will hate it, my kids ll say “way to rock it dad!”
A little rough but it’ll clean up some.

Well I did grow up in the 70’s. Guess my inner classic rock demons got the best of me.

Fantastic jacket!

Nah, since she was a Suzi Quatro knockoff. She'd probably copy something Suzi (or maybe Debbie Harry) wore.

Oh, and as for why I came to this thread, I got a Ridley this week. Very interesting (and excellent) pattern.

 

[dwilson]

Is there any functional reason behind fringed leather jackets? I'm fine with "Its sweet so we did it" I'm just wondering if there was a historical reason.

I swear to God..! XD

I've heard both to better shed rain and to swat away the swarms of flies that bothered cowboys as they rode alongside a herd of cattle.
