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

[JMax]

Man your HC HWM really brought them front and center for me again! I literally forgot just how good Vanson can be. The HC is perfect fit for a t shirt. The C is quilted so winter leather is well covered.

I definitely need to wear the Vanson I have left much more often. They are great. The HC is stellar. In a moment of weakness I let her drift through my fingers.

Just bought a Lost Worlds G-1 which was custom made in 4 plus russet horsehide for the previous owner.

Another photo of my new Aero ANJ4. Loving the fit and colors.

Nice chunky shearling on the collar, congrats.

Uncle gave me his old B3 for my birthday and told me to send it back if it's too big. It's definitely too big but it's also really cool so I'm kinda conflicted, and I can actually wear any other jacket I have under it and use it as an overcoat...

Just won this. The Toyo Enterprise repro of a Harley.

Please keep me in mind if one fits better than another.

Just came in. Fits perfect... I normally wear 40; this is a slim 42. Looks like an early one - feels like horsehide - a very dense thick hide, all original zippers, work well, label, the works. I am over the moon - an original horsehide HD One Pocket Sportster for $100. I will post fit pics later. I am going to keep both for now - both are 42.

This Thedi in Cognac Buffalo just showed up from Thurston Bros and it is for sale here in the classifieds. It is very nice but a recent job loss makes me have to sell it unfortunately.

@Colin G Best of luck with both your job and your sale.

So sorry to hear this @Colin G. I've been there, and at my (our?) sort of age it can feel like a huge blow. I wish the very best with future employment.

Thanks barnabus. I turned 48 this past summer so things may be tricky but I am thinking of going back to school. Not back to university but maybe something at a tech college perhaps. I don't want hefty student loans at my age.

I worked in the non-ferrous steel industry which in my area is greatly tied to the oil and petrochemical industry which is tanking here in Canada right now.

To be honest, I've wanted to quit for a while since there was quite a bit of negativity and racism in my office so the past few years have been grinding away at my soul. I did not want to quit since I'd have to find something asap so when I was told my division is being shut down and I'd be getting a good severance package, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders.

That explains it then. Here in America, it’s the norm to get “re-trenched” right before you hit 49. Most of my friends have gone into consulting and made a lot more $$. Me, I’ve used the experience to focus my style and learn to not take things personally. We are (afterall) just a number. And our experience is a threat to the younger guys
It ***** while you’re going through it, but the light will shine again. Best fortune in your search for the next adventure.

If I had stuck with my first line of employment I would be about 9 years from retirement with a fat *** pension at 55. The climate was so toxic I just couldn't do it anymore. Staying in a environment like that always spills over to other parts of your life and stains your soul. Best of luck on the next phase Colin. Everything happens for a reason (at least that's what I believe).
