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

[Guppy]

I'm very pleased to report that after a soak, stretch and dry routine, the waist width on my Cascade increased from 17.5" to 19". I see no problems with the hem stitching.

Before and after pics below. You *may* be able to see a little expansion from the back. It's subtle visually, but the fit is much more comfortable now. Unqualified success.

Amazing, I never thought that would work, let alone so well.

Original Buco J-82 incoming. Can’t wait to get my hands on it, great condition.

Dark brown CL is on its way. Looks good to go. I have extra CL mouton collars that should work with this.

Side note, Gwen got back to me and confirmed my Louis The Tailor jacket is a CL. I thought so but glad she answered my inquiry.

Is it going to be your retirement gift to yourself?

Ha ha
Good one!!

Sweet JMax. Brown is a hard to find one.
Man, you have quite the CL collection i believe. You are gonna have to parade them on the CL thread so we can aspire!!
Wish i had a Mouton collar for mine.

Really envying this guy. A sheepskin lined flight jacket with a mouton collar from Langlitz sounds so perfect right now.

I have a (gulp) Polo leather jacket incoming. I don't even know who I am anymore. But I've seen this model on eBay more than once and the price was too good to ignore. Mine is an XL but the sellers photos weren't quite this good. All I could make make out was the name conmar on the zip...how bad can it be?

 

[Mysteryo]

Wow it look great. It's a Ralph Lauren, isn'it? They do repros of rare styles...

I just bought this Schott X RRL collab repro of the Beck Perfecto Northeaster 333...
Steerhide CXL
Waiting time is begining.

Sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants.

This is the ultimate example of TFL effect. I bought a beautiful fair isle sweater by Vince in brown and cream for $2 earlier in the day at a thrift store, realized it would look absurd with my black biker jackets...the rest is history.

If only you had a brown cxl 1950’s 1/2 belt! Oh well, maybe someday.

Probably gonna return this, it doesn't looks so good on me, the softest leather I have so far, can't stand by itself, but thick and heavy 8.2 lbs, leather looks dull and printed, what you think?

I love it. Leather looks good from the pics. Fit is dead on, sleeves are to long tho.

I was watching that one for months, and thought it was way over priced. I think it was listed originally at $2600, but had been discounted at various points as low as $2k, but more recently at around $2300. I offered $600 about 6 months ago but not surprisingly he didn't bite. What'd you get it for?

In my experience Vanson leather transformation is virtually unrecognizable. Give it time, it'll go from looking like vinyl to looking amazing. If it fits, keep it. Have faith.

Did you get this through Thurston?

It's directly from Vanson

Half the original price... Which is still too hight. But I wanted this jacket

That's still a bit high, but not unreasonable. Comparable to a new Aero, and it's Horween CXL. If I didn't already have my Schott x Context, in natural CXL, I might have been willing to go a little higher with my bid.
