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

Great photos! Thanks! The color of that seal Kelpie is really growing on me. Some depth, some underlying shades of cordovan. Seems to have more character than even the Shinki (which puts it on another level.) Do you know if there's an upcharge for the Kelpie?

 

[Jin431]

@technovox not sure about upcharge, hope it's just standard cost like cxl/jerky HH/goatskin/oil pull, as far as i know the only in-house leather they upcharge for is the suede they use for the majestic half belt.

Kelpie under the noon time sun. The green is starting to be more noticeable, the seal seems to be showing more red tones.

This black deerskin pullover has been on my watch list for a while, now it’s on its way to me! Last birthday blowout purchase...for now

The more I look at it...the more I'm liking the Kelpie Seal. But then again, I don't have a sample in hand.
What are you feeling about it? Are you considering ordering a jacket in this hide?

 

[Jin431]

@technovox it is good stuff and yes it's either this seal Kelpie or a russet badalassi for an Aero trucker jacket whenever I get to ordering one.

I think the green is kind of a miss considering the amazing shades offered elsewhere.

 

[Jin431]

Agreed, I had high hopes for the green too but maybe it's one of those that can be better appreciated after years of wear

This was supposed to be a flip, but after already letting an awesome Bates get away for way too cheap, I think I'm going to keep this one around. I think it's a more recent jacket, but the condition is pretty much mint.

@Jin431 Thanks for sharing all the pics and information on Aero's new Kelpie. Ken offered me that hide back in December but I've never asked for samples and was hesitant to order one - looks quite nice, especially the brownish red one. However by seeing the pics I think I still prefer Badalassi and their battered HH even if these are totally different.

Running a bit too tight for my taste they didn’t have my comfort size in shop so I had to order via web, color Dark Navy, Classic fit, fortunately Baracuta currently runs a sale so some % off from retail price. To arrive soon.

I have a homemade Clash Harrington. I’ll have to take some pics of it. For being cheap homemade it ain’t bad at all. I hear Barracutas are some of the best as far as Harrington’s go. Classic Skinhead and Mod look. Both of those in the good and original context not what they both later devolved into it.

I know I said the bday extravaganza was over, but I did put a deposit down for a vest from Langlitz. The current wait time is listed at 8 months so I’ll get it...when I get it. Planning on the basic snap & two pocket design:

Vanson Royale Enfield came in. The fit feels right, this quick shot in the office looks right too. Better pics to follow later but gotta say super stoked about this one y’all.

Congrats! Looks great! Looking forward to seeing fit pics of your new vest in a couple of months....I really like waiting, because there is always some kind of excitement as you never know how it will finally look and fit!

No prob, I only learned about the leather through you anyways and Holly was kind enough to share its background and send me a sample. I also think the seal Kelpie is good looking, it's between this leather and the russet badalassi if I get a trucker from Aero.

@Robbie79 yes definitely like having something to look forward to. More than a few months unfortunately- estimated delivery by early January lol!

Some better shots of the Royale Enfield- guys it’s great and highly recommend. Feels like a slim 40, which matches the advertising. The back will settle down but I’m finding it’s the cost of being 5’9” and buying off the rack.

Didn’t have time to take measurements, will get em later for you @ton312.

Classic! Have the same. My go-to on a business-retreat with some Chinos and a Button-down.

Yeah that would’ve been way too small across the shoulders. Looks like a perfect fit for you! I think I’d need a 42” or maybe even a 44”. Looks pretty trim, trimmer than the model B family of jackets.
