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

[ton312]

Had to grab this one too

Waiting on a new Vanson C2. Paid for it just before Christmas, should be here in 6 weeks or so. So excited.

Also put in a deposit on a Langlitz Columbia, but with a 12 month wait time there won't be an update for a while.

Does not look Cal to me...interesting ....(and if you are potentially moving it possibly interested).

This one came in today and its either an Al or Cal. Same fur in cuffs, lining, pocket bags etc. The belt tabs are unusual but maybe someone requested them that way. It's a size 40 so if you're more of a 42 or 44 it's not going to fit you. I immediately took it to get sleeve zipper replaced. I have a straight zip cal being relined and zippers replaced at JL and don't need to keep this one too but I just might. It's hard to part with a good straight zip cal.

I want to get a size 44 Aero Café Racer in a lightish-coloured battered tan. I cut enough weight to zip up my old size 42, but a 44 is more comfortable. I'll go for nickel Universal zips and a black cotton drill if I decide on it. I've got two size 42 CRs that are a squeeze, and I've become somewhat conscious of cost. I was so impressed with some recent black rough out William Lennon Chukkas that I might get another pair in their buckwheat rough out - this would dramatically increase the chances of a battered tan CR

I've got this calfskin blazer incoming, too. By Isaac Sellam.

I used to own this exact jacket in black over a decade ago. One of the best fitting and coolest jackets I’ve ever had and like a jackass, I sold it. Finally found one. Now I just need to dye it brown or black.

Like all jackets I get I’m going to live with it for a while before I do anything. Maybe I’ll warm up to the gray

What sort of deposit did you need to make?

Belstaff Montana has just arrived. After selling my Montana here a number of years ago, I've been searching for another. I knew as soon as I shipped it I was making a mistake. Reached out to the buyer but no joy,he was keeping it.
But,ebay came through,just cleaned it and conditioned it, armour and liner still present. only one minor flaw is one missing tooth, doesn't affect the jacket at all.im delighted

 

[PeterRocco]

This arrived but too large. Off it goes. Still, it's pretty.

Cool Jacket. Love the color.

I just received this B-3 Leather Sheepskin Coat. Only tag is 100% Sheepskin Made in USA. Wish I knew how old and who made it
Any Help would be great. I am usually good at finding stuff out but hit a brick wall with this one.

Ok, I pick up the gauntlet! I will let you know @JMax if I find a 24" p2p padded Cal. @Monitor, are you a size 40? @Jin431, what's your size?

Please add me to the same list.... 23-24 p2p 19-20 s2s

 

[Leather Walker]

Please add me to the same list....

Count on it, Al!

I just picked up this beauty from an antique store today. I think it’s a Sears Hercules but I can’t read the label, and the label looks different from the ones in the great Sears MC catalog thread by @tmitchell59.

But maybe it’s a late 40s/early 50s Hercules judging by the lining and the D pocket? Conmar main zip, Talon sleeve zips. Did anyone else have this kind of lining?

I think I got a good deal, but there is one thing that’s not perfect. A lot of the snaps don’t connect to anything. See pic. They look kind of rusted out? Not a huge deal for me as the fit is pretty good and everything else looks to be in great shape. Anyway, I’m excited! My first 50s motorcycle jacket, kind of a grail for me.

Looks awesome. Was it a steal or just a pretty good deal? I feel like since the advent of google the possibility of paying $100 for a mint buco at an estate sale are over.
