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

[Welts and Wefts]

I keep buying stuff that I sold over again. I’ve had three of these pioneer wear sherpas and decided I didn’t need them:
Today I woke up in a panic that I didn’t have one. LOL. Why?

4th time will surely be a charm. Fortunately they aren’t expensive or that hard to come by.

Dang that looks cozy

Slightly roomier View attachment 806472 than I’m used to, but think it still works

A bit roomy indeed, but I would still wear it like this. It does look really unique, congrats!

Cozy indeed! The jacket arrived and I wore it for about 10 minutes before the back yoke shredded like cardboard. Dry rot. Straight to the dumpster it went. Shame as it fit really well, size 40” runs big:

So itook another stab at one on Poshmark for $40. It arrived an utterly shapeless bag of sh!t. Couldn’t have looked worse.:

I decided to lengthen the sleeves and move the waist adjustment up 6” and give it a little 2 tone flair. It’s wearable!

But man it’s a big 40”. 24” p2p!

Bit of a lowball offer on this 1971 Rolane Sportswear M65 but they accepted straight away. I wanted the older style chrome zippers but it’s a bonus that the jacket is the same age as I am:

I got a couple of fw’s, and I wasn’t even looking for either of them.

I didn’t even know the twin peaks existed in green goat but I’ve been wanting to try some nice goat and I’ve been looking for a dark green jacket for a while now, the sz36 should fit me perfect and I love that pinched back.

And I always thought the brown mulholland would be near impossible to find in a sz34, after I swap out the bulky moleskin lining, for cupro or light cotton, it should fit me slim and slightly cropped which is just what I was looking for in a custom civilian chp type jacket build I’ve been considering.

2nd attempt at a car coat (after the Y'2 Leather LS-15) coming in next week hopefully. Toyo Sugar Cane 498.
Should be almost the same as this one : https://www.harlem-store.jp/?pid=95489556

1950s Lawrence half belt is on the way from @Gamma68

This jacket is incoming: https://www.uswings.com/product/cooper-original-goatskin-indy-style-jacket/

After hearing my height (6'3") and chest measurement (46"), and after hearing how I will wear/use the jacket, USW suggested 2XL Long. Added-on a white nylon scarf to get to "free shipping", which means that $30 scarf cost me $4. I'll give it a quickie review after receipt.

Schott Rancher:

Another suede Sherpa

And a sheepskin custom from IP Cress

 

[jacketjunkie]

Was always a fan of the WWII paratrooper coat which inspired the famous Barbour International waxed cotton biker jacket. Stumbled across a Barbour limited edition International in black calfskin. Very rare. Excited to share once I find time. May send this to JL to get a copy in a heavier hide..

 

[IrishStu]

Not a leather jacket this time but a nice denim baracuta and a practical rain jacket, it is Ireland after all.

 

[ton312]

Schott rancher showed up. Probably my favorite label from the 70’s. I always love the stuff. This one has some cool yoke and cuff details. Great shape. Not bad at all for $35.

 

[ton312]

Really, really excited for this one! Few finishing touches and it’s headed my way.

 

[barnabus]

My bottomless desire for humdrum canvas work jackets continues unabated.

Detroit-alike in steel blue, from The Stronghold. On its way.

Really, really excited for this one! Few finishing touches and it’s headed my way.

Damn that jacket is crazy (in a good way)

It really is isnt it?! It’s sheepskin so it will be light as a feather I’m sure. Very unusual grain. I’ll have to ask Satoshi how he achieves it but I know he works with a single tannery for all his hide selections and processing. For a black jacket it does have some interesting depth of color too.

I’m really surprised nobody else has picked one up as his prices are along the same lines as master supply and rugged west, but the end results are infinitely more sophisticated… but limited to the repro Levi’s pattern currently. Anyway barring something else from him, this is it for me. After almost 30 years of collecting, buying, selling and repeating ad nauseam, I’m done. I’ve picked off the pinnacle of every single style I’m interested in. Time to retire!

Please post a review when it arrives, I’m curious to see how the leather looks in person. May actually pick one up if it looks like the photos.

The number of times I’ve heard people here saying they’re done with the new jackets…

 

[LuddGang]

Trying to stick to a net zero spend on jackets for the foreseeable and am in the midst of a clearout, which with some luck in finding deals has allowed for the arrival of:

A Lewis Dominator in black sheep - I have one in green sheep and have wanted one in black but couldn’t justify the new RRP. Was very glad to pick this up in unworn condition for a fraction of the cost, it still has that new jacket smell.

A Pike Bros deck jacket - not sure if this will get enough wear to stay forever, but I wanted something for cold mornings -and trips to London when an overcoat can become ***bersome.

A2-style vintage Golden Bear - still waiting for this to arrive, was a good price and a chance to try out the style with little risk.

Wrangler blue bell 11MJZ - always liked the look of these and it’s 50% off on the Wrangler site right now.

I’m now probably tapped out until my LW sells, though I’m seriously considering selling my other black jackets now I have the Lewis.

This one is in the wind and I can’t wait to wear it!

You think that, if it gives you comfort.
