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

[red devil]

Prugna is a colour I have had in mind as well, pretty sure you will be happy overall

 

[Downunder G Man]

Very nice indeed. Has "shades" of the Vanson Ike I have been wearing since it arrived on Perth Western Australia.

With my brown Mulholland for sale, I needed a replacement (needed of course ). I've loved the Mushmans collaboration jackets with Electric Leather Studios for quite some time now. Some of them are a bit out there, but that's also why I like them. I am sure that this one will not be to everyone's taste, but I obviously love it. It's their version of the Indiana Jones jacket. It's a cool jacket being sort of A2-esque. I've had a couple of A2s and liked them, but this version, slimmed down and with a unique leather is a more modern update in my opinion.

The leather specifically is probably my favorite aspect. It's Badalasssi, my favorite cowhide in the world and my second favorite leather after Shinki Hikaku. The color is called prugna, which is a sort of purple/burgundy color. This is perfect as it fills that darker brown-ish hole left by the Mulholland while being more unique. Plus, purple is my absolute favorite color and this is a purple that is wearable. My new White Klouds will be burgundy so this jacket should match well with that. The only thing I don't love about it is the handwarmer pockets, but they're pretty well hidden and they are part of the original Indiana Jones design so I can't be upset. Plus, it was time to have something besides Freewheelers in my collection.

Normally I would not order the new jacket before selling the old one, but it's a hyper limited pre-order and I got the last one in my size. I think they're only making 6 in total, so there was probably only 1 or 2 in my size at most. Fujita-San of Mushmans told me it will be done in November/December, just in time to be a Christmas present and just in time for cold weather here in socal. Anyway, I need to stop writing a review before I even have it. Here are the promo pics.

i do occasional leather work, and i actually got leather from both the shinki hikaku tannery, and from badalassi carlo, specefically i have a shoulder of pueblo, and some shoulders in minerva box from badalassi, and i have a limited edition sapphire colored tea core pony skin, with heavy pull up from shinki.
my favourite leather thata i own is the shinki, but the most luxurious is definitely my badalassi carlo minerva box which is a tumbled veg tanned shoulder that has been given animal oils.
so all in all i think what you are waiting for is going to be an abseloute stunner of a jacket, and im quite jealous

Very good choice. I love that colour and design! I was actually talking to Greg Fields about four months ago to make me a jacket of Prugna Badalassi. At that time he didn't have access to the maker due to the lockdown in Italy and I therefore went with the navy blue Shinki instead. Can't wait to see your review in December!

Oh nice! I hope he gets access to this color soon. I'm definitely excited for December. Should be a perfect Christmas present to myself

I'm pretty sure I will. Very excited about this leather.

Cool. Model J?

Glad to have your thoughts. The Badalssi leather on my Aero that I had was absolutely stunning so I know that this will be as well, but with a more unique color so I am quite excited. Badalassi is indeed luxurious. I'm very excited about this jacket.

Badalassi comes in some nice colour variations. Btw “prugna” means plum in Italian.

edit: because my English is still sloppy after 10 yrs living in her majesty’s land

 

[J Leather Investigater]

Congrats! Perfect fit and nice jacket. I‘ve just contacted Aero regarding this white dotted horsehide ​

Will love to see it

Just arrived, Pike Brothers N1 Deck Jacket...Khaki/Brown

Just a few first impressions.
Over all finish of fabric and lining is good, details finish is just OK for the price, not more. Button holes, zipper tag... not really produced convincingly clean for example. My French Pea Coat for a similar price tag is produced way better, beside that I just payed half price for that.
Product care is heititei-hand wash what is okayish for me but appears not to fit real specs of utility clothing in my opinion.
Size is US-XL on the outside, inside dimensions run smaller due to thick woolen insulation. Could maybe wear a thin jumper underneath but for sure no layering, thick sweater or so in a comfortable way. This not due to a tiny Tuborg-muscle but to shoulder width and arms.
Over all a very good pub jacket. Just a Henley or so and that jacket thrown over, way warm enough for a winterly pub tour and if you’re after this style it is just OK for the price.
If you’re after a rugged, warm, comfortable and easy to care jacket go rather for an Arctic quilted Carhartt work line Duck jacket or so at half price or less instead, just my opinion.

Cheers

Sweet, I caved in and bought a RMC N-1 at Christmas, after biting my fingernails over one for about two years. It's a great jacket but quite light, I'm thinking I should have bought a Pike Brothers version. On the other hand the alpaca is soft as butter, not itchy at all.

 

[Turnip]

I have to confess that I didn’t find the Pike lining any itchy. The more you wear it the more lard you rub into the lining anyway, kinda self softening...

Still waiting for SB CR in Shinki, so I put an offer in for a Bates Atlas CR. It was accepted.

Bro you got the sb Cafe racer it is sick. The only thing is the zip cuffs were tight as crap on my forearm bro i hope your good with it. I told sb this when ordering my double rider, my forearms are 13" around I don't know if that was part of it

 

[JMax]

Mine are 13” on the GD dot lol. I don’t mind tight between the wrist and elbow, but we shall see.

I’ve owned both. I found: Alpaca is much nicer on the Rmc. Rmc is cut trimmer. Pike is a better deal price v quality. Neither as historically accurate as Buzz Rickson if that’s your thing.

Haha I'm already a bit snobbish with my jackets. I don't want to get worse

Dang bro, it is snug around the wrists but the forearms are tight, hate to hear, beautiful, stunning jacket but for me there is literally no room for my forearms, yep you will see

My Highwayman is ready for pickup, you’ll have to be brave...

 

[ton312]

Another. Levi’s. Sherpa. Trucker. Navy blue canvas and Sherpa. Too cheap to pass on despite being a size down from my regular size. I have 4 of these now. I’m done with them. Until they release one with dark brown Sherpa and black canvas. I’ll buy 30 of those.

I had that exact same jacket, ordered from Aero. I had a real love hate with it. The whip cord seemed a bit fragile and the alpaca/wool was terribly itchy. Super warm though and looked great.
