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

[Psant25]

Was the CXL Steerhide too thick for you or what didn't you like in the previous one? Looked ****** nevertheless. Prompted me to get one as well (along with Hh121's tapered Highwayman).

Yes should have gone with a lighter weight hide. They had at the time a lighter cxl steer stock which is unusual, but I opted for thicker 4 ish oz. And if I do not really love it I move it. Keep only a couple jackets at a time.

Where is the Hat? and the Horse?

Still waiting on my Gibson & Barnes flight jacket. I should have paid attention to the reviews.

I called yesterday, and conveniently, the guy in charge of submitting my order either quit or was fired. Three weeks after ordering on the web site, my order had still not been submitted.

The man I spoke to on the phone said they would expedite the order and probably have it out by the first of March. I'll believe that when I see it on my front porch. I'm wondering how many more times I'll have to call back before I ever see my jacket.

I need a hat like yours Terry. That’s ground on which I have zero experience!

Schott 618HH on the way !

I've been looking at getting a wool jacket, but my experience with vintage pieces hasn't been the greatest (nice quality, they just don't fit well/too restrictive). Going through the mackinaw thread had me looking at those designs, Buzz Rickson and some other repro makers have done a lot of them and Private White VC had a really nice wool(-lined) jeep jacket. I ended up pre ordering a weathewool peacoat because it really is the nicest wool I've ever felt. But now I'm looking at some vintage pieces again, or maybe a BR 4 pocket peacoat that's 36oz melton.

Might be a little different than the look you’re going for but there are still great deals to be had on NOS Swedish M39 jackets. I paid around $40 CAD for mine, though I also had to buy buttons because the factory back in ‘42 hadn’t gotten around to them yet.

The western 2.0 was a ****. Massive jacket. Think David Byrne in plaid. Seller is awesome and insisted on a return.
Two others have entered. Another cowboy will ride into Ravenswood before March.

This one just feels a size too big. Size 44” but fits like a 46”-48”.
Looks the part though and the condition is flawless. As new.

I do really like these coats.

What are the measurements for this jacket?

What are the measurements for this jacket?

24.5” pit
20” shoulder
25.25” Sleeve
29” back
It’s a real stunner man! I couldn’t be more bummed. One size down and this is the one.
For me I need these in a 40”-42”. 44” is just that little bit too much.

24.5 p2p is too large for me as well, otherwise I'd be interested. Do you mind giving me a search term for ebay? I've liked a similar one from Mister Freedom for a couple years now but the price is too high.

I really had no intention of making a purchase when I stumbled on this Pioneerwear corduroy jacket, but my $10 offer got accepted…

 

[Drzdave58]

I am going to see this Schott P560 today for possible purchase. It looks practically new.

Agreed! The mister freedom jacket is superb but just entirely too expensive (and frankly not as cool). Shadow plaid western is my saved search. Brings up lots of unwanted results. I gather these jackets are a bit scarce.

Would ombre help or hinder the search?

Probably help!

Finally got the chance to snap some pics of the unlabelled half belt. Great quality hide but not in the best condition. How old do you guys think it is based on the style? (no zip pics because I think it's a replacement).

Honestly, looking at it, it is not such a bad fit. Sure it looks a bit too big but you still pull it off from what I can see in these pics. I would spend a bit more time with it to see if I can settle with it before selling it. What do you think?

It reminds me of my 40s Albert Richard

Great quality hide but not in the best condition.

What's wrong with it? Looks great to me.
