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

[jonesy86]

May we be filled with loving kindness
May we be well
May we be peaceful and at ease
May we be happy

Glad to see you posting again Ivan!!
Lots of times your head is the worst place to be. No one can twist your brain more than yourself. A set of headphones can take you far from wherever you are.
The lounge is a great diversion and we love your participation. It’s not the same family without @Monitor leading the way for us siblings.
Keep coming back man!!
Be weller. Bowen

I'll stick around. Thank you, Bowen. All's well, really. Time takes care of all things. If we help it out a bit... Barely even a problem in sight!

I found that there is always someone fighting a bigger battle. I've been fighting cancer with chemo for the past few years after my Wife of 38 years died of the same colon/liver cancer several years ago. I was diagnosed three months after her death. I can feel depressed and alone. However, when I go to the cancer center for treatment and see the balding frail women going through their IV drips and shuffling from one room to the other, I catch myself and mourn for their sorrowful conditions rather than dwell on mine. I have lost no hair..and everyone says that I look good. My only main symptoms are weakness and tiredness. Yet it is surely slowly killing me.
So, you see, I suddenly lost the girl that I shared several decades with, built a home with and in a matter of six weeks everything changed and she was gone. There was nothing I could do. I'm not trying to make light of someone else's heartbreak but just remember...you are never alone in grief and are fortunate to have time to heal and find happiness.
BTW I take two Trazodone 50 mg each night to sleep.

You're one million per cent right about that. There's someone fighting a bigger battle. Much bigger battle. And doing a good job at it.

For what it's worth, while yeah, sure, maybe I was a jerk at times, you always did have my absolute admiration for many reasons, not in the least for facing all that you have and walking away from it victoriously - and I never forget what you did face. But you are a better man while I'm... Dunno, pretty crap, I guess.

And oh boy, what the thread has turned to?

Time to get another order going with Thedi!

On to jackets!

A Thedi? Now that's the way to hold you head up high. How about a buffalo cross button like @HoosierDaddy has. A departure from the black cross zip, or trucker. What ever it is going to be, everything changes, we take a deep breath and move forward.

dont binge buy jacket or anything to heal your depression, never work, but wearing ones you already have and realizing it is forever loyal to you, or one that found its way back to you, probably could calm you down, yeah that an a lot of coffee

Pulled the trigger on a Bronson L-2B after reading a thread or two here saying they can't be beaten for the price. Great service through the bay seller vtgdr_store who emailed me checking my weight height etc against the size I ordered.

Free shipping from China which means even normally it will take ages to get here....kinda expecting Covid-19 to make it even worse!

Will post pics and thoughts when it gets here.

Not buying anything atm and I don't think that is going to change soon, too. Gotta save $ now that I'm on my own. Time to chisel the look, not pile jackets up.

I like the look of the blue one. This might work well for me as a tropical weight jacket.

They’re actually quite warm though even though light weight. You might cook in it in Hawaii.

@Fonzie is this from personal experience?

It's my understanding the MA-1 is quite warm but the L-2B is nothing more than a windbreaker?

Yeah, I was thinking of the MA-1, I think I got them mixed up then.
Sorry if that’s the case @jonesy86

Thanks guys, I’m still trying to make leather jackets work here, but it is really not the climate for them.

I would think the Kehoe to be perfect for those “slightly” chilly times.

IH superblack 21oz 9526pj from Rivet and Hide. I was too bitter about losing the auction to let it slide. Some one click chump bid $540 on a used denim jacket. I’ll take brand new for $100 less thanks.

I have that jacket and it’s very nice! One thing I really like about it is that the sleeves are sized just right instead of 2”-3” too long.

This looks very nice. It is interesting how the sleeves are the same length in both XL and XXL

So cool to see how my jacket is made.
At the moment live on fieldleathers on Instagram.
