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

Just won this Cal Leather cafe racer for a song. First jacket I've bought for myself in awhile, pretty excited.

Cool, it was me who you were bidding against, I stopped at $150, was not sure about P2P, hope it fits you.

Ha, I wondered if it was another TFL user. I was planning to stop at $150 too, but then I got the urge to win the auction after being outbid. Happy to reach out if it doesn't fit - my main concern is that the sleeves may be a bit on the longer side, but we'll see.

I really hope it fits you Kubatu, I am still grateful for that Spiegel you found and which I was lucky to buy for next to nothing.

I'm now just about six pounds off the target weight I set myself at the start of my diet, and beginning to think of a new jacket. My Highwayman is due to go back to Aero for a relining very soon; other than that, I'm thinking of picking up a new Wested Raiders, potentially in their novapelle horse. I have a long, long list of other jackets on which I am keen too, though those will need to be ordered and take longer.

I saw those two bids made in the last six seconds before the end of the auction.

I’ve had a bit of a crazy morning.
5 minutes after having an offer accepted for a sz38 Brooks

Now both are on their way to me. I will be reviewing them side by side once they arrive. I will only be keeping one, so if you are a 38, keep an eye on the classifieds. :)

If the Brooks is a true 38 rather than a vintage 38 then please keep me in mind @handymike (if it's the Brooks that goes!)

Spongeboob square pocket arrived! Stiff as a board. Thicker and heavier than I expected. Appears as if at some point covered in a wax/polish type conditioner and the residue has gone white. I have just enough Obernaufs left to give him a much needed drink. Love the collar!

Love this one Jacket Master Michell so cool. Even in rough shape these vintage pieces especially the unique ones are still so enjoyable to have and imagine what stories they could tell about where they’ve been and what they’ve seen.

Well said. This looks to have some age on it, so it will be fun doing some research. The wool side style looks very much like early 30s, even 20s. I just read the Snap thread, so my be of help to identify.

I have always found the reversible jacket interesting, I have one that is probably 50s. I have seen very few for sale. They are advertised in the catalogs of the day. Really a most unique item. I'd rather has this than a lot of other stuff out there. I've got other basket cases.
