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

While waiting the past 5 days, I constantly wished that when the jacket arrived i'd KNOW it fit perfectly.
Well, i also know how rare that is.
Brief 1st impression: HEAVY, but in a good way. Damn good looking.
Fit: length front and back = perfect
Sleeve= perfect
Gut and chest.....that's close....i'd say it was perfect for zipping around the track at 185 mph, but taking a ride for a big lunch might be dicey.
At this point a sweatshirt is a no-go.

I'm guessing that the wisdom is that it will loosen up with wear, and i'm ready to cut the tags, but wouldn't mind a nudge.

I'll give you more than a nudge, I will drop-kick that tag for you. Game over man, looks great.

Thanks guys. I put it on with just a t-shirt and was pretty much sold.
The brass hardwear is just awesome with the comp weight black.

Yep, perfect. Now wear it!

Beautiful jacket man! I think it looks like a perfect fit. The shoulder gussets will give you freedom of movement despite the close fit. I also love the side adjuster buckles Vanson uses on their jackets, they're beefier than a lot of belt buckles I've seen.
Congratulations Bfd70!

Thanks. As soon as I zipped it up I immediately thought of your post about the designer understanding body ergonomics. Heavy comp weight leather and I could throw a baseball in it because of the shoulder design.

BTW i googled "what are shoulder gussets for in a jacket" and the first listing is a pic of ton312!

Perfect!! Have you weight the jacket?

Box with limited packaging was listed at 7lbs for a size 36.

I'm going to live with it for a week or so and then post up a thoughtful write up. I'll also get some more pictures. At home my 12 year old daughter takes the pictures. I had this jacket delivered to work.
In my haste to get some pictures up the following exchange needed to take place:
Me: "hey, so will you take some pictures of me for this website i go to where mostly guys take pictures of themselves in leather jackets and tell each other how good they look."
Coworker: "i'm uncomfortable"

It's funny - the weight. Over Xmas break, we went to a local holiday light show outdoors. I wore my Aero 50's HBD in heavy FQHH.
I gave it to one of the women, and she about fell over. I think that thing weighs between 11-12 lbs!
