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

Just as I was making progress downsizing the jacket collection, this one catches my eye and bank account.

Boy that takes me back. If you ever want me to put some cat's-eye buttons on it send it to me and I will update it for free.
Cheers

Thanks Mark. Still fits like a glove.

I will take you up on that offer sometime! Scott

With some lotion it will give the Goodwear Arcadia a run for its money.

JC's pattern jacket has only a generic horsehide label, no Campus label.

This is JC's pattern jacket and his Arcadia

 

[tmitchell59]

A little something different. This must be pretty old, never seen a JC Penney label/script like this. Says it is oil cloth

Cought this one today and one on order from Greg Fields.

That’s a nice one! The Vanson CHP was my first “real” cross zip and I probably should have stopped right there…

Agreed. This is after I basically sold off all my cross zips except a Vanson Slade. Had to come back to one.They just fit so well on and off the bike. And actually feel comfortable to wear. It might not be some exquisite flavor of the month fancy hide but it just works for what it is. And this older variation is my fave, underarm football gussets and no bulky leather lined ****** pocket. It just add too much bulk IMO after owning both variations.

Very robust campus jacket delivered two days early. Shockingly thick and heavy for a vintage piece. Fits perfectly. This is after a heavy coat of Obernaufs. Strong jacket! More to come on this guy. I’m delighted!

Just ordered this G1 from ebay (by Brill Bros)

Alters your perception of the label, yes? The jacket looks awesome.

WAAY different than the black one I had. This is old Cal type HH. Thick as Hell and strong. Must’ve been some wild variety in the hides they used.

 

[tmitchell59]

@ton312, you will like this one. right up your alley, and mine

Got a Vintage Wooly half-belt coming in from LA, Hollywood label. No pictures until it arrives. Found by accident while looking at another jacket for a forum member. The member ended up buying the leather which looked quite nice and fortunately too small for me

I'm thinking the Wooly will fit me and my collection.

Another Vanson en route. Two good old school finds this week. Though I still have two in closet I need to post to classifieds! Ah the sickness

Spiegel is the next chapter in Who made What and When. I have some ideas already and will be calling on both Spiegel owners to share some pics so I can complete my investigation. My hunch is an interesting one too.

Will do

 

[Will Zach]

I have a bunch of my Spiegel pics I can share. I'd be very interested in knowing who made it for them. I went through the three Spiegel catalogs that at @born113 shared but did not see the motorcycle jacket.

Schott USS20, obviously the European version of the 740 which costs a fortune at this end. Wanted to have a more rugged version as an addition to my Armor Lux Peacoat cause the outer fabric of the woolen Cap Sizun is a little sensitive and possibly lighter. Maybe I’ll pick up a 740 next stay in US. Will see how it works, no risk ordering online.

Nice one. I have the Cyclone 2, an European version as well. A great coat for a great price. The European versions don't use as thick wool as the US ones but the cuts are more modern and tailored which work better for my frame than the boxy US fit.
