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

[Canuck Panda]

Ok, not an old jacket but this arrived today

Aero Leather AN-J-4 with the leather trim being Dark Seal Jerky.

As ever, Aero have my fit well and truly nailed!....back length is 1.5" shorter than standard and waist is reduced by 2".

Looks great. I've got one of these in the works too. I was quite satisfied with the quality of skins Aero uses so went back for a USN version.

J-57 came. Impressed with the pattern as it fits comfortably and has a lot of arm mobility for a relatively 'basic' racing shirt type pattern. Also doesn't do the huge back tent like J-100s do at times. It's definitely one of those barely covering your belt fits.

I do feel a little conflicted that's it's relatively lightweight (maybe medium weight?) but 'supposed' to be a motorcycle jacket. Were the original Bucos lighter weight as well?

also weirdly, most comparable leather in terms of texture/finish is actually lost worlds.

After seeing @Will Zach ‘s perfect fitting HD Sportster I couldn’t pass up this one for a steal.

Nice! I never seen this label in a Californian. Interesting. I have this same jacket with only a typical CSW leather tag.

Thanks.
There were no stitching marks from the CSW label on the lining. I think this is a CSW based on the jacket silhouette and the placement of the pockets, though...

60s Lewis leathers "black arrow" arrived.

It is a California Sportwear jacket

These are great.

On a whim I've ordered this, the Oxford Heist jacket. It's a 13.5oz cotton twill with DWR water repellent finish.

It's a riding jacket, so it comes with armour and the cotton twill is woven with UHMWPE to give it a quite surprising AAA certification as PPE.

I know it looks like nothing, but that's why it appeals to me.

 

[Will Zach]

These are great.

Perfect fit on the first try. It took me three.

That’s a lotta horse to break in at one time

Definitely gonna be slowing down with the yen value spiking. Good times are over

 

[TLW '90]

I just bought this 90's orange label Cooper A2 off Ebay, $150 shipped.


I've wanted an A2 for awhile but didn't really know what to look for, or what could be found inexpensively to test the A2 waters.
Doing a little googling I found that these are generally considered a decent low entry 1st A2 as long as it's not too late of an example.
The measurements seem okay for a 36 and it doesn't have the side pannels, so I'm optimistic that it's gonna be one of the reasonably sized examples.

 

[TLW '90]

I did some measurement comparisons to a few of my other jackets, and am getting fairly excited about this one.
I don't want to jump the *** because I won't really know until I get it of course, but the sizing on this cooper seems to be right in line with what I like for mobility and comfort without feeling too big or looking blatantly so.
It seems like it's going to fit me better than I've been lead to expect from even the best cut years of orange label coopers.

Got my new (to me) Double Helix Frisco in from 58panheadfan yesterday. Holy hell this thing is gorgeous. I hope to take some decent jacket pics after work, but I'm very excited to beat the **** out of it for many years to come. I'm over the moon.

 

[TheOldFashioned]

After getting my Aero leather and wool half belt last year I discovered I really like the wearability of the hybrid model, so I recently took advantage of the JPY/USD exchange rate and ventured into Buyee for the first time. Came away with a Mister Freedom Stadium Jacket and Sugar Cane Wabash Jacket:

Tossed in a couple rockabilly shirts for good measure by Sugar Cane and Style Eyes since I was already combining shipping:

Currently out for delivery. Kind of ironic it took less than a day and half to travel 6500+ miles, and now it's taking a full day for the last mile.
