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

Triple Play Day; just arrived. Ralphs-Pugh brown Steerhide, mid 1950s. Brill Brothers Golden Thread wool/leather, c.1960s. This jacket came from Seoul, South Korea on a few days. The double breasted horsehide coat in excellent condition is c.1930s. The leather is amazing.

They all fit too!

They all look amazing but that long coat is especially nice!

So it was you who bought the Pugh! Glad you got it. This is one of the best m/c jackets of all time IMO.

Looks/feels unused. Larger than I thought. Very wearable. I have a sheep lined barnstormer. This is more wearer friendly.

Scored a Pike Brothers N1 size XS from Germany for ~100eu.
Been looking for one of these in my size for a few years now and it finally pops up with an absurdly good price.
My favorite color as well!
Well, that didn't work out too well, the jacket is fantastic, but too small for me (even with t-shirt only). PM me if anyone wants it, I'll put it up on cassifieds later.

I've "stayed low" from buying since my last jacket never showed up(A swedish military style leather jacket, got refund so all good) I've now pulled the trigger on two beauts(same seller so I got some discount).

First a coat/car-coat in goat(or "real goat/äkta getskinn") from a Swedish brand/store in Malung, Sweden. Malung seems to be THE place for Swedish leatherworking/jackets. It's made in the 70's if the seller is to believe. A nice lookin' jacket(love that the middle-seam is at mid-hight instead of the more common, from what I've seen, chest height) in a style I've been curious to try(without paying Frewheelers or similar price haha).

Second is a classic Swedish military parka "m/1913" aka "livspäls" in decent condition from the pictures, a jacket that will come in perfect here in the norther Sweden coming months.

Hope they both fit, but for the price it's worth a shot, cheers all.

Nice! I was looking at both of them myself. I already have a livpäls but in olive drab but were tempted nonetheless to go for a white as well. The pocket placement and angle on the car coat is interesting and unusual. Please post fit pics when they arrive!

Yeah, tried to stay away from Tradera but I stumbled and this is the result haha. Love the olive Livspäls to, but never really had a white jacket so will be fun to try.

Next in line is to get a nice '"Ordonnansjacka", a real one this time would be amazing.

Ofc I'll show them off when they arrive:)

Cheers

You made me look at tradera and I just noticed a 60’s ordonnansjacka in great condition where the auction had just ended… at just 1500 SEK (150 € approximately). Damn, should have put a bid on it.

Yeah that's nothing(depending on wear and so on), I see people/stores selling them for like 900euro.
The good ones always goes when not looking haha.

Haha I remember seeing it about a week ago thinking that the price would be too much for me so I didn’t even try. Hard regrets now!
