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

[JMax]

Sounds like my aero is shipping early next week. Order placed 6/28, Confirmed specs 7/9. Pretty quick I like that.

Very quick. I confirmed specs a couple of days. This certainly is good news.

After a sketchy explanation from the seller about delayed shipping this new to me vintage blue jacket courtesy of the Finds and Deals thread is out for delivery today:

Hope it fits you. Can't wait for fit pics!

Snagged this Vanson Raid(er) off the bay today. I prefer the backside on this older model compared to the Gambler/Arrow. Figured this would curb my appetite for an ELMC Windward, for now.

Hoping the size 46 isn't too big - if so, it'll be offered up in the classifieds.

Very nice. FYI the same seller that @Sheepdog149 bought from has an ELMC Windward for sale. I’m loving his collection and he’s the same size as me!

I have an Aero Buco J100 courtesy of @jimmer_5 incoming. Can’t wait!

Rather excited to have won this original Windward horsehide jacket this afternoon. I'm not quite sure why it didn't sell for more money. Unless I missed something, the jacket appears to be in wonderful condition for its age, plus it retains the original zippers. Perhaps the new liner depreciated the value to potential buyers..? Personally, I was happy to see the liner was replaced - I know that can be rather expensive to have done professionally. Fit pics to come next week. Cheers!

Congratulations. I thought Guppy might have been the purchaser. That’s a hell of a jacket and would have been in on the bidding had it fit me. Very much looking forward to seeing some fit pics when it arrives.

I hope it's a good one. I thought it might go for more, too, it's only the second original Windward of this style that I've seen for sale anywhere, and looked like it was in decent shape, and in a popular size. The only other one I've seen was all original, a bit longer variant, in Japan, and north of $5K.

You did get a good deal. I would have been in the mix, but I just got a new ELMC Windward. There is another original on ebay out of Japan asking thousands.

Looks to be a nice re-lining. That is typically a lot of money to have done correctly...

Looking forward to your review.

Schott 637 Steerhide "Bomber jacket" AKA the Schott "Highwayman". Made sometime 1993 to 1996 . From the "Finds and deals" thread so thanks folks ! Been looking for this jacket in 44" for a wee while. Good price too !

I especially like that Cal...gotta find me something just like that. In the future, I may order their six panel competition racer... that leather pullover looks badass too[emoji1690]

I sold that Cal to monitor. You won’t be disappointed. Best black CR I ever had.

You could try baking soda on the lining - leave a few days then gently hoover off ?
They all look excellent jackets

Thanks a lot Simon! And I happen to have baking soda handy. I'll give that a try before buying zorbx as a last resort

Washing machine on gentle cycle with some gentle detergent should do the trick.

Not on suede!

Closing the loop with fit pics on the WJAYWT thread. Just a bit too small, so it'll be moving on.
