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

[jeo]

Sweet. That collar is perfect. How does it compare to SC? Any subtle differences?

These are both the later non wool liner versions of the Kurland and the Sportclad. There definitely are some subtle differences.


Here’s the Kurland.

Here’s the Sportclad

Kurland epaulets are longer.

Sportclad epaulets are shorter.

The Kurland has snaps and buttons for a mouton collar. See back picture.

The Sportclad does not.

Buckles are the same, inner pocket is the same. Sleeve zips are the same with a double stitch. The horsehide on both of these is super nice.

Two more ordered.
This one, but with a collar also made of roughout and other buttons.

And this one, but in brown.

So it's safe to say you are onboard with the brand! How would you compare them to 5 Star? I can see that they definately look better but I have found, given the benefit of decent pics, 5 Star can photo better than what it is. If these weren't made in Pakistan I would be all over them. As sad as it is to say I just can't get past that. PTSD I guess. I also think the snaps she used on the Buco should have been used on the trucker, she could have spared the embarassment of those Amazon grade buttons.

I think it's much better than 5*
The leather is thick and even, the sleeves have curves ;-)
The pattern fits me well. I hate to say it, but I think this is currently my most comfortable jacket (not that the others are particularly uncomfortable, but the stiffer leather takes its toll of course)
And no, of course it's not an aero. It may be the initial euphoria, but at the moment the Trucker is my grab and go jacket.

nice roughout

Yes, the buttons were not a highlight. But they were better than the ones 5* used. However, I have now replaced them and the new jackets have donut buttons.

It was almost free $$, I really couldn’t afford not to buy it.

 

[cbez]

almost pulled the trigger on this four speed trucker but someone bought it out from under me lol. Beautiful jacket tho!

 

[chillinginthenameof]

Finally got a black Brooks gold label in my size. Missing one a talon teardrop on a pocket but everything else is great.

 

[ton312]

It was really cheap and I doubt it will fit.

Vanson Cheyenne incoming from @Al 916

 

[LeatherHunter]

I won this jacket purely by accident last night for a ridiculous low price. No label, know really nothing about it other than a tagged size 50 and the leather looks thick. But here we are.

Something exciting is in the works

Exploring new hides

 

[AHP91]

Haven't seen too many jackets that have caught my attention, bought a 40s looking thrashed belt for like 25 bucks,

Funky cal leather showed up

I seek out new adventures too. I get it. I've recently getting more interesting "stuff" that doesn't cost much. I've got one coming soon.
