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

Here are a few pictures of the RMC B3 which I recently bought from @John Lever (many thanks again, very smooth and friendly "transaction" and communication).
This is definitely my Winter grail jacket and belongs to personal 3 favorite leather jackets/coats! It's a piece of art and I haven't handled a leather jacket with higher quality or at least the same as Freehweelers. The B3 jacket is in nearly new condition for that price if you consider that a new one costs about 3500€! Even if I don't have a comparison with other high quality B3 makers like Eastman, Aero, LW, etc. I can't imagine that it can get any better than this one - according to John the quality of these RMC NZ ones is even better than the new ones. Anyway, I'm really impressed and it's a shame that the temperature is that high at the moment (10-12C). If was really concerned about the actual fit as I normally wear size 40 (RMC and FW) and this is a size 42 but the fit is rather tight in the chest and waist area than loose. What do you guys think? Keeper or put on Classifieds?
Cheers,
Robbie
P.S. I forgot to open the two leather straps when take pictures as I guess the right way to wear it is with opened leather belts

Robbie,
That is one of the best looking fits I have seen on anyone wearing a B-3. If it is comfortable to wear then keep it by all means!!

I’d say keeper, if
- you can see yourself pulling off that bold look on a regular basis (I think, you look pretty cool) and
- you trust the weather to permit wearing it a few times each year (was in your neck of the woods today and rather enjoyed the mild weather...)

I also say keeper. Especially with this “big puffy” type of jackets. We don’t expect them to fit like other jackets. If they are a little tight or little loose who cares? They are meant to keep ya warm. As long as they aren’t restrictive or so big you swim in them, then keep it. This does look especially nice too!

You're ready to go North of Scandinavia, this jacket alone is worth going there to test it out. Congrats!! :D

The perfect winter jacket. Top buy.
I love my shearlings from 10 degrees downwards. They give off a nice dry warmth and I don't sweat immediately when I go into a room. Open the zipper and go ;-)

@ALL Thanks a lot guys for your positive feedback. I really hope that there will be some opportunities to wear it during this Winter.

I'm just wondering what it will look like if the side adjusters are closed a little more?
@MrProper Actually I haven't tried it as I've just taken a couple of fit pics. Maybe tomorrow or in a couple of days. I'm already thinking about convincing my wife and daughter to spend the next Summer vacation in the Antarctic rather than in Greece, Italy or Austria....risk for C-19 infection will be much lower there anyway

I picked up this 70's AMF HD trucker pretty cheap on fleabay. Talon main zip, zippered sleeves. What does the Lounge think about the leather quality on these? Looks like it has some character to it; hope it is not flimsy.

That looks so cool to me! Zipper closure truckers are so cool! Hope you like it and hope it fits you well. Congratulations.

Wow, that looks good on you. Shearling jackets go hard. Hope you have a frosty winter so you can wear that all the time. Congratulations on another great pick up
