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

[MrProper]

Always this waiting. Do you know that, when the new jacket has finally been shipped and you call up the tracking status five times a day to see whether something has changed? Or do you then dream at night whether the dimensions you specified were the right ones and whether they were also kept? I feel so with all custom jackets LOL

I know the feeling, never gets any easier.

I think the pre ordering period is best, when you get to think and imagine all the possible styles, the makers and the measurements, and then dream about how it's going to look on you.

And the worst time is when the jacket is shipped, and the only thing u hope is that it's going to arrive at least for the weekend.

70s Schott Bros with odd zip in down vest. More of an experiment than anything. Or halloween costume prop if I can't sport the 70s disco look! Also thinking about attempting a black dye job on this. Would it soak in evenly?

Two non-leather eBay finds on the way, both shearling collared flight jackets. Schott in red nylon and Golden Bear in black heavy wool.

Both are cool

 

[Mrfrown]

Thanks @JMax

I’ve always liked the flight styles. I grew up flying in all sorts of small aircraft with my stepfather. Just haven’t been sure about working them in my style so this is a testing of the waters.

Already miss the HD Sportster I sold but it was clearly too large. Fingers crossed this one isn’t too small

Ridiculously nice. Awesome fit too. Well worth the wait I bet.

 

[MrProper]

Thanks.
Yes, very nice. Fits very well at first glance. Tomorrow in daylight I'll take a closer look at the jacket.

 

[handymike]

And post fit pics!!!!

Ok, so my red Thedi is being produced as we speak

This one is tough to wait for!

 

[SCANDAL]

I ordered the Langlitz Leathers Columbia jacket back in June and yesterday Bennie from Langlitz Leathers said he ship my jacket yesterday. Hopefully I can get the jacket next week Monday. I am very excited.

By the way, Bennie said this is the first time he custom made a 64" Sam Browne Belt for this jacket. It takes extra times to make it lol.

Bennie sent me a picture of my new jacket.

Just got shipping email from S-B that my cross-zip is shipping today and will arrive on Monday. No sneak peek pictures though.

they are valuing it at 75 pounds so UPS don’t hit me with any import duties. So I guess I can tell my wife it was only £75?

 

[Jin431]

^^ YES!

Hey SCANDAL, that looks almost exactly like the one I ordered. I'm getting a padded Columbia without sleeve, chest, or watch pockets and with a brown fur collar. Make sure to post pictures when it reaches you.

I know I know , I said I was "done"...latest ebay snag today is this "Cordovan" or Oxblood café racer in 44".
Quite a good (phenomenal) buy so I could not resist. Especially since I sold my Schott café racer in similar colour to a good mate who pestered me to sell to him. Now I do not know the brand , and it is not obvious, but it "looks" similar to my brown Fidelity other than this one has "side zippers" at the waist. Same interior label and the exact same "hanger"/coathook chain
Perhaps some discerning fellows on the lounge could "speciate" it for me ( identify it ?).
Looks to be in fairly good order from the seller photos.

 

[handymike]

I’d bet on a Fidelity as well.

 

[Boyo]

Not my area of expertise but looks real nice...funny enough but Ive had my eye on the very same jacket although in a larger size.. its listed at $55 and the seller is accepting offers.. I'm not sure why I haven't bought it yet

Hello, I have hard time making decision on brown or black fur collar. I end up with black to match my pants lol. Yes I will post pictures when I get the jacket
