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

I've just ordered an A2 Memphis Belle from Wested. My first aviation jacket of any kind. Is it odd to feel a little apprehensive?

Horsehide?

Horsehide?

No. Not quite that fancy .

It's cowhide. This is more of a "testing the waters" kind of jacket for me. Before I join the big boys league.

Relax man, it’s completely normal. With my first couple jackets I was nervous about the order because I wanted to make sure I got everything exactly right. I went over all of the details repeatedly and sweated every last one right up until the day I had the jackets in hand. As it turned out I didn’t get everything exactly right, and I think that is part of the learning process.
This is easy for me to say since I have ordered many custom jackets since then. It’s natural to feel apprehensive, but remember this is also supposed to be fun!

Also interested in their steerhide. Looking forward to seeing more of yours once it arrives!

On my first nice jacket, the feeling was...I just spent a shocking amount of cash ($325 at the time) on this thing? Better be PERFECT!

Nice!! Looks fantastic! That’s the same hide I chose for my RRL knock off trucker. Please post some real life photos when you have it in hand.

Thank you. I'm hoping it will ship out this week....so maybe sometime next week.

Thanks. I'll post some real life photos when I get it. I hope it is as good as it looks. First time I've tried a MTO jacket

I think you’ll be very pleased, if the photos are any indication. TBH I expect Shawn to exceed the original in my case. The RRL stuff I’ve handled has been...not impressive to say the least. I like what I’ve seen from 5 star so far. Quite a bit.

It will most likely ship tomorrow if you are happy with the jacket/measurements. My seal brown trucker just landed in LA so I should be getting it soon.

Good luck with that project. Also eyeing that seal steer/cow, looks great on pictures and hope it's as good at hand.
