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

Oh, I know. In my darker moments I sometimes think the best thing they could do for British tv is give Mark Chspman an early release with a Downton box set.

Signed and seconded! I've been through every British so called biker flick and other than the Leather Boys, which in itself is a movie about a whole different matter, everything else is either an exploitation crap or just crap altogether with no rocker culture or nothing. That BBC Timeshift episode and an occasional homage in other stuff is the only glimpse you can get into the scene. Provided you weren't there and I wasn't. There's a lot more going on with the revival stuff and even that's been hipsterized to the point it became a mockery of itself.
Though I fear even if they made one now it'd be pins, pins and pins which is why I was very impressed to see that scene in Rock & Chips. Plus, I don't think all that many people would be very interested in it why with all those insanely interesting television series such as Boreton Abbey. I mean, how many freaking post-Edwardian period dramas about constipated British lords and their servants talking about absolutely nothing can one stand?

While you are waiting for the film or the TV show, Lewis have got a book coming out covering the history of Lewis Leathers:

pretty tough - considering a leather jacket or for the same price, three new cloth jackets and a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers.

I've got a jacket on order with Good Wear. I got to the head of the queue about 18 months ago, at a time when both my life and John's were in a state of disarray.

I'm meaning to chase him up when things return to some semblance of normal at his end. Hopefully I'll get the jacket sometime this year.

At present, I don't own a leather jacket, and I really need to sort one out.

Yes, Whitefeather is a small compagny run by Fardin, a very sweet and friendly passionnate. The Jacket will be made of Vincenza Horsehide.

I'd still love to get an A-2 this year. In all these years/jackets, I've still not got one that works. I suppose the only option is going to be to queue up with someone.

My custom Vincenza bootlegger is inbound! Carrie posted Aeros teaser pic last week.

I have been looking for a brooks cr in black on ebay and there are a couple that have piqued my interest.

There are also a couple of old aeros on there including a gorgeous brown moto with brass hardware, they are in Japan. The price is nice and the jacket nicer but I still need to pay the balance on my "new" one so I resist.

My wife likes the levis type 1 style she saw in one of my japanese leather jacket porn mags. I started a new thread inquiring about that style because Im almost sure the Japanese version (high large) costs more than we paid for any of our cars...
