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

So far, out of 3 jackets I was waiting for only one made it to me.

Simmons Bilt Tailgunner, size 42 in some natural horsehide (wondering what that leather is, it's very nice!)

Apart from sleeves being a tad to long, but the zippers help a lot with that, it's pretty much best fit I could ask for. Feels really comfortable.

Second hand, but obviously plenty of life in it, still lots of patina to be done with me wearing it!

Looks good! The leather is almost certainly from the Comipel Tannery in Italy. Both Simmons Bilt and Aero offer this leather.

Thinking about it. My wallet is lucky it isn’t the Ryder.

Just think, it’ll get you down to 86 if you do.

Side zips? California Sportswear for Montgomery Ward c.1950. I have this with a MW label and no label. I don't know that I have ever seen this jacket with a California Sportswear label. Probably an exclusive for MW label, so not sold with a CSC label.

These jackets appear and disappear around 1950. An interesting combination of old 40s half belt back, Aviation with a motorcycle touch. End of an era for this style. I've seen it pictured in a fur collar. The very interesting side zips give it a unique look and fit.

Just realized the "Cats Eye" jacket is also a CSC jacket that only appears with this MW label or no label. Again, never seen with a CSC label. Another of the Vanishing breed around 1950

Someone snagged the Suburban.

Just placed an order for another Aero Shackleton - this time in their new chocolate brown roughout goat suede…with horn buttons rather than the leather footballs.

I was gonna say, maybe a tad big?

This Diesel just landed and while I plan on flipping it as it's too large for me (plus I don't wear these anymore), the quality is in all honesty and seriousness on par with any RMC and above Aero. Shocking how quality this jacket is & especially the leather.

That doesn’t look on par with any RMC I have seen and definitely not when I compare it to my own, but it does look better then an Aero. What a cool jacket!

Stitching honestly looks a bit sloppy in places especially compared to RMC. I'm not an RMC fan boy, actually a bit the opposite after an unfortunate experience with one of their jackets, but I cannot deny their stitching is better than what I see on this jacket. I agree though, really cool jacket and I love the leather.

 

[Monitor]

@Kenan , @Observe ; The stitching definitely isn't on the level of current RMC's precisions, not even close (and the white thread making it much more obvious doesn't help) but the leather & the built is. The jacket feels much closer in overall quality to RMC than to Aero or such jackets, that's more what I meant.

I'm just amazed Diesel could just low-key build such jacket without us knowing about and I'd definitely pick it over anything sans RMC.

Also, it reminds me a lot of RMC's pre-Japan quality, back when they were NZ based. Those jackets are also fantastic albeit with a bit less class to them.
