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

I also snagged the matching 13 button front wool crackerjacks.

I’ve wanted a pair of these^ for ever. The newer versions are a rigid gabardine, while these older ones are melton?….certainly a thicker wool. Not sure I’ll ever wear them but for $18 I figured why not.
They don’t appear in my size too often.

Hope you showcase the details of this one in the Peacoat thread, Tony.
Sure looks like a nice one.
The feel of a nice fitting vintage Peacoat is like no other.
As a former Jarhead, i yield to that of the Navy their Peacoat.

Please more details

Please more details

Seller listed it as 60s Sears Hercules but Marc pointed out the leather label is late 40s and Terry concurs

Ton had the same model

Leather is rigid and somewhat dry but seen very little use. Almost no crease and grain showing. Lining is torn at the cuff. Body lining is good. Label is almost gone.

I've got this cross zip incoming.

Bought on a whim off eBay of course. It's a fashion jacket which I could say more about in due course, but for now I'm intrigued as it looks like decent leather from the seller photos. Of which this is one.

e: multiple edits because I can't do internets

Well, my crosszip finally arrived. And I genuinely could not be more delighted. No fit pics for now because I'm in a huge rush but here's some straight out of the packaging.

It's "only" a fashion jacket but it's superb. Heavy cowhide, chunky blacked-out hardware with a two way zip, quilted lining, stripped-down fuss free look, and it's essentially brand new.

The sleeve zips seem never to have been zipped up, I can still feel the tension in the elastic holding the shoulder gussets in, next to no sleeve creasing. Astonishing.

And it fits. It really fits. I was fearful it would be a little small but it's perfect.

Happy New Year, me!

Here’s some pics of my old SuperDry jacket. It’s actually a great jacket, it’s held up very well. Insulated too! The materials aren’t the best, but the craftsmanship seems solid. After 10 years, nothing is falling apart yet.

I had a pair of jeans by SuperDry that lasted me 7 years without a single issue. Eventually, I got so bored of them I gave them to a friend who is still wearing them. I don't know if everything of theirs checks out but those jeans were worth every cent.

Yeah, some of their stuff is totally awesome. I was on a SuperDry kick for a period. I still have a couple really nice jackets and also sweaters. One of my favorite crew neck sweaters is from SuperDry. But, I never purchased any of their jeans. I think back about 5 years ago, they made much higher quality stuff. It’s sort of gone down hill since then.

Needed a jacket for layering and working on heavy equipment. Got this Reed Sportswear headed my way.

Disappointed in this one, when I saw the shipping weight was 3lbs. I had a bad feeling. Paper thin, maybe lambskin. Luckily seller offered returns. The search continues.…..

Thinner and very flimsy and mall jacket feeling.

Lol you need to go to a mall and check out their jacket offering.

This looks like thick cowhide to me. Anything but flimsy.

Yeah, I’m with Marc. That looks legit.

Guess I'm spoiled.

Definitely wouldn't take this lesco on a bike, not so of the other one
