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

Just received this Vanson Commando from LeftFieldNYC. Christian and Jonny at LF were great to work with and willing to take lots of measurements for me to ensure fit. Very happy.

As for the jacket. I believe this is Vanson's x-150 leather which is a bit thinner than their competition weight. I'm really digging the feel and weight of this x-150. Reminds me of the appearance and feel of Langlitz (though lighter than the Langlitz heavy weight I use to own). Only thing I'd change is adding about .5" to the sleeves, but for a non custom fit jacket I think this works. Love the d pocket! Inside is blue/green plaid.

Very nice. When it starts to break in you will love the X-150. Doesn't take too long. Enjoy it.

Lost worlds Downtown in black horsehide coming from ebay. Seller says its "good as new, worn only two times by a navy vet".

It puzzles me why the seller felt it's important to mention that it was worn by a navy vet...

In case Stu is watching, he only likes his jackets being worn by real manly men...
You’ve got big shoes to fill now buddy! ;):D

... and rather large coat too, it being size 50.

By the way terms ”manly man”, ”navy” and ”black leather” used together reminds me of the time when I googled ”langlitz leather” for the first time...

I have a strong feeling that my Thedi has just entered USA airspace jetting on to Thurston Bros who will then quickly, on the run, fast track it 1800 miles back the way it came east to Indiana arriving at my door Friday January 4th. It will fit perfectly and wimmens will just want to touch it, caress it and even try to squeeze me while I'm in it. Hurry..I'm hungry....

I like it, and appreciate the giblets required to wear it. Giblets I lack.
Thanks. I read an interesting quote from writer Anaïs Nin the other day: “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” I say be bold. If you like something, wear it. I can think of at least two FL members who would look great wearing that jacket.

Just sold a 1930’s capeskin zipped jacket, so I have a couple on the way: a Freewheelers Journeyman (jet black deerskin) and a custom Monarch buttoned jacket from Dave Sheeley (in brown goat).

This damn jacket is so gorgeous. Was tempted. Love the color and the sample Buffalo- smell, texture; it has everything.

But, I went with an Aero 30's half belt (I know 42 fits) in natural horsehide.
