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

[ton312]

Yep, vintage.

@ton312 can you share some pics?

Happy to oblige! This jacket is straight up *****in! I love it. Hard to capture the color. It’s super dark plum. I want one dammit!

We’re pulling people into the 70s with us.

I don't feel the urge to revisit my years in the 70s tbh..

Fashion was fun mind....

There were a few forum members who spent the 70s at Max’s and CBGB in New York at the birth of punk.

I know this is not the Peter's people were expecting but I think it's cool nonetheless.

My goal is to have a collection that's as diversified as possible. Not just '50s mc jackets, not just '40s halbelts. I didn't have a hippie jacket yet, this one scratches that itch. Until I find a nice East West Musical Instruments size **L

I have the same goal. Collecting is a time travel you just keep moving, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s. I'm actually working my way back In time. My favorite Tauber's trucker is probably from the early 80s. I don't discriminate by time.

Tomorrow will I have a chance to see how a east-west fits. I'm last minute starving myself.

Release the inner hippie!

30s, 70s and 80s are my gaps. (Though I'm not sure I have much interest in filling the 80s gap.) Arguably, 60s is sort of a gap for me because my 60s stuff has been early 60s production of 1950s designs.

They do excist, nice '80s jackets.

Is the Perfecto yours, the one you had the spot work done to? If so do you have a pic of the back as well?

I buy jackets for a lot of Reasons, But I have to like that jacket Even if it doesn't fit me it has to fit my collection. Some stay and some go.

Yep, I went all out with the studs

Wish I had pics of my 80’s era blue 118. That jacket was so f’ing cool. I sold it before I was posting here. It was navy, teal and brown. All sun faded and just so damn cool.

Love it, it’s pretty danged kool. I’ve got a couple MC jackets I plan on doing some spot work on.

Definitely, but these are designs that go back to the 50s. What I mean is that 80s designs qua 80s don't hold much interest (except perhaps the Aero Highwayman). Maybe a BKS if I found one.

So this is what happens when you're scrolling on your cellphone when at yet another birthday party for one of your kid's schoolmates:

Maybe I'll wear it to the next party.

I saw that list, then disappear before I could check out the measurements

Only two dimensions shown. P2P was ~22", but there appeared to be some slack so I'm thinking more like 21-21.5". Sleeve was 23.75" measured straight down.
