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

Working my way way through what will undoubtedly be my final bootlegger order. At this point I am only sure of these things.
1. It won’t be CXL
2. It will have a quilted liner. Petrol blue or Evergreen.
3. Snap button cuffs
Try the black jerky hh ask for extra grainy

Three jackets are due to arrive in the next three weeks and more pics to follow then:

- Thedi Cross zip made of olive green deerskin and removable shearling vest and detachable shearling collar
- Brimaco brown 60's Cafe Racer
- Shangri-La Heritage black Type III suede jacket - due to the fact that they manufacture in Italy, they are a small company (price-wise they are slightly below Aero/SB at 640€/$780) and as they offer a more modern interpretation of a Type III (have I ever mentioned that my wife likes Italian fashion and Italian style in general...) which probably is a good addition to my Aero Type III rust suede goat. The good thing is that if it doesn't fit or if I doesn't like their style, quality, jacket construction I can return it as I bought it from a German webshop.

I'll post pics once they arrive....after receipt of these three jackets I'm definitely done as I also need space in my wardrobe for other stuff other than leather jackets ;)
Cheers,
Robbie

That is awesome! I actually just ordered the Thedi Cafe racer jacket in the same olive deer skin a week ago. Super excited about it and really looking forward to see your cross zip!

That never stopped anybody at TFL before...;).
Believe me or not, I'm done now unless I sell other useless stuff from my closet or from my wife's closet for sure ;)

New Years resolution obliterated!
Well done :)
Was there a New Years resolution....I think I've never told anyone of my bloody dementia...

Thanks - can't wait to receive it (Just sent out a reminder to Theodoros). Your green deerskin Cafe Racer sounds also quite exciting! I hope the waiting time will be rather short!

Don't forget to look out the window every 5-10 minutes. This also reduces waiting time.

Thats the sweet thing about office work. It´s there when you get home. When I got my first jacket from Greg, he actually worried that I hated the jacket, because he got the "parcel delivered" message 5-6 hours before hearing from me (I texted him within MINUTES of trying the jacket on).

Admittedly, I drove home and back once or twice when I couldn´t make myself wait until the evening. Next thing I ordered was a "Betty Ford Clinic" T-Shirt...

Nah, man. When you work in the office, you get the jacket delivered to your job. That way you don't have to wait until the evening to pick it up. Big brain time.

If I don't choose another leather at the last minute, then a cafe racer made of black goat should come in a few weeks.
And hopefully my Aero Sheene will come in 3 - 4 weeks.

And yes, checking the tracking status helps. Only if more people at the other end of town do the same will the positive effect be canceled and you wait far too long as usual.

Perhaps an idea is not to sell things immediately, but to archive them and come back to them later?
It works pretty well for me. Since I don't like the sales process as such, I keep a lot. And it is not uncommon for me to remember after a long time that I still have this and that and there is a revival.
I have had this experience a few times myself. Most recently with my Thedi cross zip. I wasn’t wild about this one when I received it and it has seen very little wear but a couple weeks ago I pulled it out of the pile and I’ve worn it to work a few times. Kind of starting to like it actually!

I love the triangle man! I don't see it, the sizzled bacon. This jacket deserves to be worn.

Yes it does! To be honest I’m kind of struggling to remember why I disliked it so much upon receipt. I think maybe I had built it up too much in my head so that nothing I would have satisfied my expectations.
Love it! Is this Thedi's buffalo?
Yes, it is the washed buffalo.
