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

[JMax]

Just heard that my moose Ryder is finished, not shipped yet.
I can't wait to see it!

Every time I’m notified that you posted in this thread I know I will eventually be jealous.

I've got a Freenote cloth RJ-2 shearling lined denim jacket coming my way. Got it used so was able to save some money on it.

What was the issue? I’m a 46” chest with ‘swimmers shoulders’.
Years ago I purchased the RW in a size 46 and after years of ownership eventually admitted it was too snug and moved it on.

Replaced it with a russett Monarch contract in a 48 that actually fits well.

Liking the seal brown of the RW too, I popped down to ELC a few days back, tried on a RW 48 and placed an order, about 5 weeks to go.

I found the HPA site invaluable for researching A-2 fits, Charles kindly measured up the stock on his site. Monarch & RW were both fairly generous in the upper body measurement.

Sleeve and body length good. Chest and forearms too tight. Going up one size prob would have worked. Imho slim A2s look great but are tough to live in.

Looks really good on you. My 46 was always picking up compliments but was restrictive & felt like a straitjacket zipped up, the size up to a 48 certainly worked with the Monarch which allows for a light sweater underneath. That seal hide on your RW is stunning.

Yep, what looks good in photos are not always the most comfortable.

Always best to go for comfort.... so you'll wear it.

Fit pics regardless!

Not happening. It's not a good sight. Either I lose weight or sell them. And get a trucker jacket.

It's cool to see someone from Winnipeg here. My entire family lives in Winnipeg and are tryna get me to move there as well but I live in Europe so I'm reluctant.

I'd be reluctant to move to Winnipeg too if I wasn't already in custody here.

I just ordered this suede jacket. They listed it as 50s but there doesn’t seem to be any tag. Zipper looks like a Conmar so that may help. I’m sure I’ll be asking if anyone can place it once it arrives. But it looks pretty nice in the pictures and it was a pretty good deal!

Got a pair of Veeechanzzzas coming.

These Wool lined are the Prime Time, another great example. I'm wearing a Wool lined Sportclad as I write this.

Are vests allowed on jackets thread? I took this sleeveless Cal to wear something nice during the summers. Like all of you, I really miss leather jackets at this time of year, so I've spent a few euros to take this former jacket turned into a vest. The switch isn't a good work, the inside is a total mess (as if a drunk velociraptor would have bitten it), but eh! I want to wear it in summer, so who needs a lining...? I'm hesitant to remove what's remains, get a new full one, or leave it as is.

Impulsive buy, stumbled on this 50s Levis suede trucker jacket
