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

My first half belt incoming. Taking a swing with very little to go on, but it's got some great details so hopefully it works out. View attachment 531759 View attachment 531760

Dude, that is smoking! Love the pleats in the back, the varied grain, the cuff straps, the collar and so on. Just saying, if it doesn’t fit you… hit me up!

After being stuck at customs for three weeks the Regius finally arrived. What a jacket, out of this world.

Good lord.

Well, the way you take care of your jackets, this thing will for sure outlive you. Might as well be the family heirloom leather jacket.

We need a review on the Regius soon, Marc. That yellow lining is really something.

You´re killing it lately! The Buco and this absolute stunner within days. It now needs to get WAY cooler in Europe!°

the thing dreams are made of

Just bought this unlabeled bomber jacket that based on the outline of the label, I'm almost positive is an LL Bean (I believe made by Golden Bear) shearling-lined goatskin jacket, especially with the leather cuff protectors. Hope it works out, I've always been a sucker for the civilian bomber jacket style and feel like this is a cut above its contemporaries like Schott, Cooper, etc.

 

[Bluechel]

Did GB make a lot of the LL Bean jackets at some point? I didn't know that.

I think I read there was a connection on an older thread in this forum but it makes sense to me. LL Bean isn’t known for their leather jackets otherwise so I doubt they were made in Maine. The leather cuff protector is also a Golden Bear signature on their bomber and varsity jackets.
