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

I just picked up this Vanson Maverick. I have just one thing to say and that is:
If you’ve ever toyed with the thought of buying a leather trucker you must this instant go to https://www.vansonleathers.com, use the search bar to find the Maverick and buy it right now. I can pretty much guarantee you will love it.
Do it right now. Thank me later.
This thing is PERFECTION. Fits exactly how a trucker should fit, short and somewhat boxy. The colour is interesting. The leather is thick, grainy and have a soft hand. There is literally nothing you could do to improve this jacket.

What a jacket! I am considering pulling the trigger too. They had this in stock? Looks like trimmer sleeves than I have seen on some did they adjust their maverick pattern I wonder? Looks great and love that color. Perfect fit!

Thanks man! No idea if they’ve adjusted the pattern, sleeves might be trimmer but they are from tight, very comfortable to wear.
They had this in stock when I ordered, got the jacket a week after paying.

I have an email out to them. That other brown color it is hard to tell if its kinda grayish or what. Like a dark stone color. Thanks again.

Just opened this unworn 70’s Blue Bell quilt lined type 3. Thing was never worn. Absolutely pristine. Stuff as a board, thick nylon liner. Almost makes me laugh that Ironheart can’t get a lined denim jacket right to save their lives.

Have you handled the Addict AD-01? I’m curious about how they compare. I went with the Addict as it was a bit cheaper and I had some doubts about the FCL pattern.
I haven't. I saw some nice used ones but the sleeves are all longer than I would prefer.

Interesting, maybe they were custom, I believe sleeve length is the only custom option they allow year-round, even for custom jacket length they only take orders once a year on some specific event.

Mine is standard size and sleeves are on the shorter size, and I’m average height and don’t have particularly long arms.

the ones I see are 63.5cm sleeves, and I tend to need 58-60.

Snagged this Schott 184SM for under $100 USD, seemed like a good deal. Sadly, no liner or collar but I don't really care at this price. Old mouton/pile can be nasty anyway.

Anyone know if this is a "good" 184SM? I was reading this thread: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/thr...-schott-184sm-and-the-assorted-others.108620/ but couldn't determine anything about my jacket based on the discussion. View attachment 620032
I bought a 184 last year that was new old stock from 1995. Had the collar and zip out liner as well with tags.. Beautiful naked cowhide. As nice as mine is, the Schott 174 I had before was really my grail leather but sadly was too short in the body. Not sure if that answers your question but the ones I have seen are good ones.
