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

"Yeah but Nah" as the young 'uns say these days....

Guys, what do you think about this jacket?.

Perhaps seems a little bit weird at a first glance but I think it's a masterpiece without similar competitors (leather + shearling + nylon) out there.

Details
Masculine flight model in a blend of fabrics: The down blouson 'Cockpit' is a jacket with character that has been made by biker label BELSTAFF in soft shearling in a vintage design, waxed microfibre and grained calf leather – style with cargo trousers and boots for a really cool look.

• Waxed microfibre
• Sleeves made of soft lambskin in a used look
• Warm down lining
• Slim fit
• Robust two-way zip
• Turn-down collar with shearling trim
• Undercollar with pin buckle
• Zip pocket on the upper sleeve with BELSTAFF logo
• Front pockets with flap in grained calf leather
• Comfortable ribbed bands
• Lining made of shearling and microfibre

I like it a lot. Looks great & must be warm. Would buy.

Do you know if/when Belstaff makes sales on its website?

Do you know if/when Belstaff makes sales on its website?

Absolutely no idea. Belstaff is way out of my price range. I only look at the pretty pics.

They do, and they sometimes have discounts of up to 50%. Best bet is to sign up to their newsletter.

A strictly personal remark: Belstaff made great jackets when they were British owned. After the sale, they continued to make ok stuff, but gradually they added more fashion-oriented styles and compromised on quality. Especially their cow leather is not really worth the money any more.
Only my opinion, of course and based to some extent on the fact that you can get a new Aero for a little more than half the price of a Belstaff.

First impression was, that I didn't like it-too much a fashion jacket.
But on second and third looks I started to like. An interesting fusion of a down vest and a leather jacket, whose combination is difficult to pull off.
It's a nice aesthetique with the waxed nylon (micro fibre) and the reasonably aged lambskin.
Not bad.

I like it, but would prefer to put a vest over, or under, a leather jacket. More options.

Fully agree with you that Belstaff cow leather is way ovepriced.

I like Belstaff in terms of his innovation with current designs.

In case of a full leather jacket, there are other better options much cheaper (Aero, SB, ...)

Yeah, fusion quite interesting and indeed not usual to see out there.

I pulled the trigger. Let's see the fit in just 3-5 days, fingers crossed.

Belstaff returns policy is spot on

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Fist impression was, looks pieced together with more a fashion jibe rather than any style. Second and third looks, it still comes across the same IMO. No thanks

My Ralphs Pugh has arrived. It got to my district UPS office just about 24 hours from being accepted in the UK.
I am very stoked. This is my new pick if I had to keep just one jacket up against a mint Buco J-24 and 1950s white label horsehide Langlitz Cascade. The horsehide is incredible, the closest thing I have is my 50s Langlitz. My special appreciation towardsTerry for his encouragement. Here comes the fit pictures judge for yourselves. The listing pictures were ****y and I am blown away by how good of condition the jacket is in The leather lining and zips are well preserved.

 

[Downunder G Man]

Well done sir ! But I must say you look like "a guy over 50 wearing leather" haha..Quite a travelogue in the life of that jacket.

I like the color, the sleeve, the collar, the shape of patch pocket, the leather trim around the collar edge and zipper edge and the fact it has double zip
don't really like the horizontal stitched puffer body I bet a smaller diamond quilt pattern would look much better, and I don't like the shape of the zipper pull itself.

 

[Berto]

wow, I was completely wrong in my statement "there are not similar competitors out there".

I found a, let me say, similar jacket from Stone Island

https://www.flanella.com/products/s...ghost-piece-dark-brown?variant=32159483953263

Do not like the chest vertical pocket, the hidden zip and there is not shearling on the sleeves.

And 2.295€, extremely expensive.

I knew this would be your reaction. I was ready to rescue if need be.

Here is mine in salute to you and your new Ralphs-Pugh

Ok not a jacket, but we’ve all been here before. Driving me freaking crazy! Damn you Wisconsin, “******** you all to hell.”

It landed today. Tried it on (zipped it wrong for the pics, don’t kill me please I noticed I didn’t put the end of the zipper properly) and the fit is so good! Was very worried about the sleeves lenght.

The sleeves are very tapered. This is the end game. This deerskin is amazing! It’s so luxurious and soft. Now it’s hidden away until Christmas day.

Beautiful...and a perfect fit to boot! Congrats!

(That's the one thing I don't like about those zippers. Hopefully you were able to unzip with no issues)

Very nice! Perfect fit. Who is the maker?

The jacket I ordered from Japan arrived today. The proxy process is very simple, and the international shipping was extremely fast. The slowest process was waiting for my jacket to actually arrive at the proxy warehouse from the original seller. It's steerhide, and I believe the maker is Sugar Cane. The leather shows a fair amount of wear, but the jacket is still very stiff and rigid, which is just what I was looking for. There are a number of nice deals for jackets in smaller sizes on sites like Yahoo Japan, so I'm definitely going to check it again if I decide to switch up my jackets.
