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

[Sloan1874]

It's the details I really like - the fold over cuffs and collar, the constrast studs. I'd probably go with cordovan sleeves, black body, red and black cuffs. I've not seen any of the patches they have, but I like the idea of them too.

Whitefeathers Lukas jacket is on my waiting list. It seems Fardin has hard time supplying his italian horsehide. So I wait...

That is just such a mesh of things...

Yes. Not really my thing. I think it's the collar and belt that doesn't work for me.

Decided to resist everything but temptation and have ordered a Letterman jacket in green and russet. A bit of wardrobe rationalization is due, so I'll be sticking a few items in Classifieds - my Old Town jacket is there already, along with a original 70s Lee denim jacket.

I saw this Langlitz at ebay. Very close to my measurements, maybe a tad big in the chest for that style, but fairly cheap. I have my doubts because of the low resolution pics and the surprisingly low price, but I decided to give it a try. I'll pay with paypal which is pretty much a money back garantue and post pictures here upon arrival to have the Langlitz specialists here make sure it's actually a Langlitz.

I just bought one yesterday. Vanson. I won't be able to wear it for four months but screw sanity.

 

[jacketjunkie]

Which Vanson?

 

[Monitor]

Which Vanson?

Trucker Type 3 style in extremely heavy leather. Nothing unheard of but I always fancied one from a relevant maker ever since TM showed us all his Lost worlds and so when Vanson appeared on the bay, I just hit "BIN" and it was done.

 

[jacketjunkie]

Shit, I have wanted a Vanson Trucker since forever. How did I miss that? Please post pictures when it arrives. Got a link to the auction?

It was there only for a few minutes. I actually wanted to give it some thought because why the hell do I even need another jacket anyway, but literally ran back after a minute and it was mine. I could be wrong but it looks beastly.

Older jacket but it looks good too me. I wanted a good Trucker jacket for ages too so I'm really happy I got this one! And I was really surprised to see it 'cause I've never seen one before from them. Had no clue Vanson ever made one. But turns out they still make 'em for the Japanese, of course. . .

I'll do a complete review, JJ style the moment the jacket arrives! And I expect you to do the same for Langlitz. Oh, and don't worry about it not being an original. All's good.

Very nice find! I knew they made this, it's in their 2000s catalog you can look at at their website. The jacket looks massive and fairly unworn. So I am a bit jealous now... Lets hope that Langlitz makes up for it!

 

[ProteinNerd]

@Monitor I just pray it fits you!

lol You got a Langlitz and at a very good price, what's there to be jealous about. No nicer jacket in the world and if it doesn't fit or something, at worst, you can move it for 2x what you paid and get three or four Vansons.

Oh yeah, there it is! The Cheyenne is even nicer... I just noticed that neither the jacket in the catalog nor the one on the Japanese site has hand-warmers while mine does. . . And it's actually sewn differently only so to accommodate them. Weird.

@ProteinNerd - It's a 42, it should fit. And it's not a CR thus a lot more forgiving to get right.

I just bought a used Good Wear Imperial in dark seal Shinki. Leaving for Scotland tomorrow, so I've asked the seller to hold off on shipping until I've returned.

Fantastic! Are you planning to make a trip to Galashiels? We were in Scotland a year ago but were unable to make it to Galashiels.

I am not planning to go to Galashiels though I may end up regretting that decision. I don't need the temptation of another leather jacket!

Congratulations @Grayland!
