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

    This Windward is in on a Windward tack to me thanks to a quick tip from a friend! This is one of my favorite styles, if not my favorite. A Roughwear Clothing jacket with a Windward label in Pony hide. This jacket, in subtle variations, was in production from the late 30s through the mid...

    Just saw this. California Sportswear "Escape from New York" jacket with a badge holder. The back yoke looks quite sad. Interesting jacket to see.

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    I can not say what brand of jacket. I can say it is a popular Civilian A2 style, distinguished from a Military A2 by the addition of hand warmer pockets, lack of wind flap, no button down collar. These Civilian A2 were produced by about every maker and seen with numberous retail labels. Kurt...

    Another Taubers in steerhide with collar, probably mid 60s. Measurements are off for a size 40. https://www.ebay.com/itm/405568923514?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=i45r4gyqsvy&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=qwq2X50PT7y&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    The little front pocket on the ebay jacket was the piece I liked. The grommets on the zipper bottom were not original as far as I could tell. It was a beautiful jacket. Nice to see a quality Woolie bring quality money. I like you Wards, the lining is most interesting!

    Horsehide Taubers, probably late 50s. Ive owned a couple of Taubers in this style and they are very nice. https://www.ebay.com/itm/316353730076?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ZEEbQCyERKu&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=qwq2X50PT7y&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    here is a wool that sold for $1500. I don't recall it was posted here. I was most interested, though it seemed small for me. Not seen a Wool make this much money. I typically like more color in my wool, but this one certainly had all look.

    Talk me out of buying this Buco?

    This is a jacket worth looking for, they do show up. That sleeve repair will be expensive, with doubtful results. I have a similar jacket in similar condition for display. I had to take the arms off a Ralphs-Pugh jacket and it makes a great vest.
