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

[dudewuttheheck]

As nice as I have seen of this most interesting style! A great label, great condition and a possible fit. That is the whole package. Like you, I've seen plenty of pics of these combo jackets, but many are in poor condition. They seem to use capeskin, which is most fragile at this age.

Thanks for the fantastic catalogue photos!

The capeskin was my one hangup, but the overall condition is so nice and I love this style so much that I had to go for it. Hopefully it's not to dry and if it is, I'll condition it immediately.

Congrats on an awesome jacket, Jake. The capeskin looks to be in great shape. I’ve got a knitted wool/capeskin shawl collar sweater. Not like yours. But the capeskin held up fine after all them years (~ 80 years old). It is fragile don’t get me wrong. In fact, it’s quite thin and has a delicate hand. So handle with care when you get the jacket.

Wow that is a gorgeous piece! Very cool color combination. That's good to know. I will definitely make sure to be careful with it.

Woah. That's awesome.

Woah. That's awesome.

Thanks guys. Pretty sure it’s a 613s with about .5” shorter back, fingers crossed for the fit!

I found a Schott 619 for sale locally at a good price. It's a really cool looking jacket, I can afford it, and the measurements are right. I think I might go for it.

These guys always look like jerks and bullies.

Regardless of it being horse or cow, it's a cool looking jacket. I always prefer shorter jackets so fingers crossed for s good fit!

Couldn't get much in the way of measurements but this guy is 160lbs so I *think* it'll fit. It looks massive on him....
No clue why I bought it, don't even wear leather at all much these days but the hide looked to good to pass.

Love the jacket. Fit pictures please....

Hopefully today or tomorrow!

Back to the basics, from big $$ to simple.

Yes, another leather I have been looking for, this simple Brooks vest.

I seen one other, but too small, this is a 46.

Most likely a version of the jacket Marc got in Japan. (613S pattern, instead of shrunken Schott Japan pattern, brown horsehide, repro upward zippers and buckle); however this one has 618 aesthetics instead of the One Star. Seems like an excellent jacket.

This one just shipped. I do like wool this time of year. The Naval Academy connection is very interesting. This one looks to be from the 1940s, even has a faint name.

That was my impression too! I actually reached out to @Marc mndt about the sizing on his before going for it because of their similarity.

Definitely post fit pics when you get it!

1000% will do

CHP in the box newly arrived!

I have received this LAPD. Size 36, made in supple leather.

Bi-swing back, epaulettes, made without belt loops.

All zippers working, original brass #10 Talon, and tear drop pulls.

No marks, pinholes or scratches. This is a delicious jacket, very warm for these cold days!

Natal? WD? Arrived, and it’s just too big. Probably a 46”/48”. Bummed. It’s a beauty but needs a bigger dude to fill it out. A full 8lbs of thick as balls cowhide.

Darn. Not wildly far off which I'm sure makes it more disappointing. Atilla looks cool.
