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

I went to Japan, tried on jackets from every Japanese maker you can think of, and I'm bringing a Schott home with me lol. Well, at least the leather came from a Japanese tannery :).

I was also looking at that wool halfbelt. It's a nice looking jacket. Enjoy it.
Thanks! I have watched it for a while and have come close to pulling the trigger during past sale(s). I also liked the Aeromarine but the dimensions on this halfbelt should fit me better.

It’s very nice looking. So Cool!
Thank you. I agree that these mixed leather + wool pieces are an interesting style.

Zero surprise there. Having only sampled the selection of "finest" Japanese leather jackets, I'm pretty sure the Japan-exclusive Shinki Perfecto would be the only thing that'd interest me at all over there.

They even seem to have upped the construction game on this jacket, though! The belt loops are so well made.

Very Nice Find! Do you know anything about the History of Lesco. I know they used heavy leather and High Quality Hard Wear making their Jackets. Look like from the 1970’s?
Well, I did a little search about Lesco, especially 'cause many times I find their jackets in almost every vintage store I visit. But nothing better than rescuing the post of @Gamma68 talking about their history.
