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

Been away on vacation for a little while so wasn't so active on TFL as of late. Managed to grab my new Lee 101J and am really happy with it.
The 5oz leather is thick and really dig the copper buttons - nice and sturdy.
Gonna take some time to break this in, still fighting against me to hold its shape.

Awesome. Design wise— Lee’s Trucker > Levi’s IMO.

I’ve recently posted a few items to classifieds and have some others coming in.

This black IH N1 should be here tomorrow

Vanson has had the cognac Badalassi and Sevenberry lining in hand for nearing a month, so my special order no-back seam 1” shorter sleeves C2 should be complete in another month or two. Really undecided if i should make the first run in black or cognac but have some time to decide. If enough interest I’ll do both.

Last time I posted regarding the C2, the seam/no-seam convo kinda went wild. I asked Kim about it. She said for their purposes it’s about fitting the 3D shape of the spine. Without the seam there will be a little less space in the upper body area. That’s fine for me as I already found the sized-down 38 quite roomy up top, and I won’t be riding motorcycles any time soon. I suspect the same will be true for anyone not planning to ride.
Can’t wait to see your custom Vanson when it’s done. It sounds incredible!

Thanks man I'm really stoked!

The cognac Badalassi is just so good. But then again, I'm drawn to the whole Badalassi rainbow lol

Eventually plan to run through all the colors in the C2 for my shop

I’ve never seen Badalassi in person but it looks incredible from the YouTube videos I’ve seen. I look forward to your YouTube review as well as your posts on here.

On a half-asleep whim I've bought this, a sort of fashion semi-repro of a Jeep Coat.

I've always loved a Jeep Coat but feel it might be a bit much for me for everyday, so this could be a halfway house.

Also, someone posted a picture yesterday of a big ol' shawl collar coat and I was immediately doomed.

E: also, it reminds me a bit of that James Dean coat that @Leigh H posted ages ago. Loved that.

I love the Jeep Coat! Whitefeather did a beautiful one a few years back.

Bronson's looks pretty good as well, but they're out of stock at the moment.
