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

Vanson caught me in a marketing email web. I broke down and this is coming—

My god, it’s kind of amazing they manage to sell any jackets at all with those website photos…
take a picture of yourself in the jacket when it arrives and send it back to Vanson, show them what that jacket is supposed to look like!

Ha. Honestly I just focus on the jacket. It’s what I do here too. I enjoy fit photos but they don’t help me in any real way.

As I understand it, they simply walk around their facility and tap folks to go get photographed in jackets. Better ways definitely exist lol.

Yesterday still in Scotland, today with me. Thank you Aero.

Just received this custom Ridley from Thurston Brothers yesterday! Tumbled Chromexcel Horsehide, Rob Roy tartan, brown stitching, and removable brown mouton collar.

Too bad the other wool offerings were longer styles. A wool C2 or Thunderbird would be cool.

Spectacular jacket!

Found this jacket for sale recently, and thought it looked quite cool. Very different from all the other jackets in my collection, and definitely more flashy than I'm used to. I'm cautiously optimistic about this

Or maybe I’m setting the trend…

Jokes aside, all those celebs wearing their jackets look great, but the author’s vintage race jacket looks terrible on her (and I usually think it’s much easier for women to pull off a variety of silhouettes than men)

I just received my first Aero jacket (and my first non-lambskin leather jacket ever).
Also just joined this forum so welcome!

I was expecting a lot and I was actually still positively surprised with the leather, build quality, hardware.
It's a keeper, it fits me how I like - I downsized a bit from my chest (43'') because it's 50s pattern, but I picked stock model with slightly longer (me being 6''2' I prefer at least 26'' length).

I think it fits me well, definitely well enough to keep it, have walked in it couple of times and I feel great in it!

What I found out is it's hard to take fit photos of yourself, I will try something out today to post a fit pics.

Anyhow, I am 100% satisfied, it's definitely not my last jacket (And I knew it wouldn't be, I got a collection of 16 pairs of HQ boots for example, I know how it works )

Just a word, this forum has been a massive help for me, trying to learn about fitting, sizing, styles, brands etc. - so thank you all very much!

Welcome to the lounge!

This one came in and surprised me. Nicer than I thought it would be. To me, the fieldmaster label marks the beginning of the end for Sears outerwear. I didn’t have high hopes but was pleasantly surprised at how nice this one is and it has a tailored fit to boot.

I’m surprised these long halfbelts aren’t more popular. The sleeves are always longer and obviously the body length “issue” is cancelled out.

I have an inkling I've heard of that one - thought there were legion British motorcycle leather brand names back in the day, most of them long since disappeared, typically by the turn of the 90s. Be interesting to hear more once you have it in hand.

Just received this item and very little info on the jacket. No tags, no logos etc.

I still believe the seller who said it’s a custom interstate jacket (as he’s a business seller selling motorcycle gear).

Here’s some photos of the piece:



I’m on the fence on whether or not to keep. The fit is pretty solid except for the sleeve length which is marginally too short. I think just about get away with it, and could wear it with a long sleeved base to slightly hide this further. Seller has free returns (though I’ll offer tocover shipping as if I do return it’s entirely my fault)

Interesting piece. It is a pity the label isn't there now, but I can well believe it was custom made; there's a level of detail there that isn't just a transfer / print / patch the way I'd expect from a production run. Very cleanly done. Fit wise, body looks fine - the sleeves do have that little bit of Joey Ramone going on, so really depends on whether you can live with that. It certainly doesn't look bad so - especially if you're not planning to ride in it - it's really a comfort thing. Really clean example, definitely has the vibe of something ordered up by someone who wanted a street-riding jacket that reflected a track suit. Never seen one quite identical.

Exactly, that’s what attracted me to the jacket. It has the aesthetic of those old school motorcross jackets, without being too bulky / having too much padding, which made it really unique.

Indeed it’s a shame that there is no label, but if I do end up keeping it i think it doesn’t make too much of a difference
