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

Greg can do no wrong it seems. My family just went out so I pumped up the AC and put mine on. I am still floored by the details I notice. Firstly, no other maker could fit a jacket with such tight tolerance and still have this level of comfort and movement. The dude understands human physiology, which is what makes it fit like a second skin. And the pocket bags - that fabric is just out of this world!

Sick. Totally sick. So nice.

So nice! Look forward to seeing the fit pics.

Thanks gents! When I get it, I know I just want to wear this thing to death and bed every night. I want to get teacore wear-through from my wife rolling over LOL.

@marker2037 love the classic j24 look with added flair on the sleeves, the brass on black leather is a perfect combo, just an awesome classy build. Congrats man!

*now you need a brown jacket counterpart
Thanks Jin! This will be my first brass on black jacket so I'm pretty pumped for it to arrive. For brown, I do have a somewhat slimmed down and simplified J-24 with my Aero Ridley.

Next jacket up would be a brown Leathertogs, but I'm pretty satisfied with my collection for now :).

Definitely nice and it should look so good when the brass patina' s and the teacore shows through. Ahh I remember now, I forgot that you have that new blackened brown J24!

That's my next up too lol with brass hardware! I'll ask Greg to make the back design and the belt removable like that recent jacket they shared on the cross zip nation/sears thread.

Yeah I go back and forth on the Freewheeler's A1 on a nearly daily basis. I really need to remind myself (1) the measurements don't look right for me and (2) an A1 does not fit my style at all.

I've got 2 vintage Schott A2ish jackets enroute. We'll see. Got them cheap so low risk. Every once in awhile I see a pic of someone wearing it well and I dream lol. But most times it ain't probably going to crack my rotation. Those higher end ones like Eastman, rmc, etc. Sure do look great though.
I think they look great, but they are crazy impractical with the flat, small pockets. I always grab something else when I run out the door.

Check out the schott is674 and the various offspring--184 and 174. They have hand warmer slots as well. So you get the look but more function from them. It's probably more G1 than A2, but has elements of both.

My issue is more about the potato sack torso. I think this can be helped with maybe a longer length so the knits stay put around the hips and keep everything stretched. Or maybe I'm wrong and just creating more material to bunch up. I'll soon find out lol.

I have 3 infact...A vintage civilian A-2 with handwarmer pockets, but that jacket is so short I can hardly get my hands that high :D

nice. good fit in the body, but yeah, you need a couple more inches on the back and sides. Although that looks like a good front drop position.

I always see this ad on here with this pic. If my incoming Schotts fit like this, I'll be pretty happy. Although this guy is entering epic Thedi-esque hair, so I got no chance in hell of that LOL.

I prefer it when the leather sags over the wrist knit halfway (see left sleeve below). I’m uncomfortable when the knit is at the wrist but the leather stretched entirely back. Overall I prefer them sized 1 up.
