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

Meanwhile, over in Sweden, Hans (@torfjord) be like:

Hahaha! I do have bit of a history with Tony's jackets that ended up too small for him. What can I say? He has great taste in jackets and so do I!

From Etsy? I think I’ve been watching this jacket for a decade. Goat? Always tempting but I felt the price was too high. It’s certainly a standout piece.

I didn't get it from Etsy. I didn't even realize it was goat until you mentioned it. I'm a noob. Thank you.

Maybe not totally in the vein of what is posted to this thread, but I was searching FromJapan a few weeks ago and came across this used women's leather jacket. My daughter has been asking for a black leather jacket since we bought her a purple lambskin one (her choice) at a flea market on our trip to Paris. It was 140$ cad and it's made in Japan, horsehide and lined in silk (though the lining has been repaired) and the measurements lined up with what my daughter's other jackets measurements were so I thought, "why not take the risk.". It just came in. The leather on this thing is some of the softest horsehide I've felt and seems pretty well made too. Kinda impressed TBH.

I shouldn't have, but I did anyway..
No idea about the maker.
"
The leather is approximately 1.4mm thick, fully vegetable tanned with an aniline dye finish, and features a black core.
The lining is 75% wool and 25% polyester .
The leather is sourced in Japan and sewn in China.
The jacket weighs approximately 2.5kg.
"
Looked too good to pass up for the price and the measurements I got from the seller give me hope that it will work for me.
Fingers crossed, would be a nice partner in crime for my Hooch Hauler.

Yeah I should really stay away from those "far east sites" haha. I'll make a small show and tell thread about it when it arrives!

Another Walter Dyer headed my way.

 

[BizzAnt]

Told myself I was done, but then I saw this, couldn’t resist, a CHP with a cat eye style. I think this may be my new favorite! Should be here shortly.

Had this arrived from Japan, D1 style in a Italian Goatskin only a bi swing back like a G1, it stated, cream fur lining, in a dove grey colour lovely jacket it's just the first new jacket I've bought in years so leather is a bit stiff yet, I have softened it slightly with Sapo, I'll just have to wear the hell out of it this winter.

Very nice. I've seen this 2 tone CSC with the Sears Topline label. Has the cutout zipper pull used for a short time due to wartime shortages.

Amazing to find 2 fairly rare CSC Jackets back to back. I also have this variation. It was also available with a traditional half-belt style, non-belted. This jacket also appear in a vintage 60s Star Trek episode with Spock wearing it. This one looks to be excellent condition. I will find a pic from the wartime catalog.

Have 2 of these coming, in the UK we only heard that Ralph Lauren had made a Denison camouflage jacket as part of their military range, it's based on the Denison type 2 but officers had them changed for a full zip. As such it's one I had never seen

 

[Jon Crow]

Also have a Buzz Rickson US para jump jacket coming, part of their heritage range, made from the same materials and nos zippers and poppers, they even copied the original label, I know a real one can touch 2-3000 but this is Buzz Museum Grade

I have a real soft spot for these belted jackets.
