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

Not a lot of love for Golden Bear, but the price was right:

Love this!!! Just like the WD style I cannot find in my size.

Love this!!! Just like the WD style I cannot find in my size.

I've been watching this one and a couple WD of the same style for a while. Pretty sure the WD are a tad too small. This one has better dimensions and seller dropped the price on this one yesterday so I jumped on it.

Just received this. I used a filter to dramatize the grain and show how distinctive it is. Very pretty color mouton collar. Star zipper seems like a replacement, and the quilted lining below the sheepskin has been replaced with leather. Arms have original quilt lining. This seems like horsehide in my opinion. Fit pics soon. Thunder Bay 1.0.

This. One mistake I am fortunate enough to undo.

Me too, although I think I made the mistake of selling 3 or 4 of these:

At least we learned something. Don't know what but there had to have been a lesson in all this.

I counted. 5th time is bound to be a charm!

@ton312 , and let's not count the LW's. Entirely different jacket anyway.

That's the very same jacket that made the rounds. It's coming back home. I should've never have sold it but then again it wouldn't be as exciting getting it back.

It already have, that's why it's going back home. I wonder the state it's in?

Is that an Aero Leather Thunder Bay, or an original?

I believe it's a Franco Canadian from the 50s or 60s.

I wouldn’t go that far, while it’s true we don’t see much of them around here I’ve heard they are well-made jackets. Congratulations!

Fit pics when you have a chance would be appreciated.

Looks Great! I sent a pic of mine to Ken at Aero. I will try to find the thread. He used these Canadian jackets as inspiration for Aero's Thunberbay, hence the name. Mine has no makers name, just a generic Horsehide label.

More pics here.

This CHP arrived. I am very happy with the quality. Heavy weight, supple leather, nice hardware, thick and silky satin lining but unfortunately it doesn't fit.

A knockoff of CAL?

I've heard nothing but good things about Al's jackets. I believe they started up in the 80s filling out orders for police departments. Not sure if they are still around. Extremely nice find. The jacket looks perfect.
