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

[Canuck Panda]

Far too small for me. Shame. This is an absolutely bad ass cop jacket. All talon hardware, heavy as Hell, great cut but likely a size 40” or maybe even a 38”. Couldn’t get it on.

That’s some serious badass leather, too bad it didn’t fit…

I was going to wait untill i had the jacket in hand before posting pics, but i can't keep this to myself any longer, i think this jacket is just too cool not to share.

I don't know how much she weighs, but Stu said she was super thick and heavy, apparently they used 5+oz leather and lined some of the pockets (the patch pockets and the hidden gusset pocket) in their heavy canvas. I am expecting an absolute beast!
It isn't an exact copy of the Appalachian, more a LW interpretation than a real repro, but i think it really came out great.

Unfortunately i am leaving on sunday for a hike across Corsica (Gr 20) and won't be able to see it untill i come back on the 15th of July, i can't wait!

If any of you guys are into it, it should be available on the website soon...

I regret missing this til now.
Carlos you have some extraordinary cross zips, each an individual style of it’s own and always perfectly fit. None wear you and i doubt even this Ultra-Zip will either. You got this, man!!
Thinkin this LW is cooler then a fan in a freezer.

@Tom71 cant wait to see more of this jacket. Hope this fits better, still have not heard anything about my order for the last 2 months lol

This is as good a time as any to post the ultimate Vanson, ultimate trucker and ultimate leather jacket that ever was and will be.

This one needs re-posting time to time. Cause we all need to cry about the girl...err...jacket that got away.
Thanks

This Hercules came in today. More to come. It does fit.

Incoming. I need to stop this, seriously.

Just delivered, German mc jacket. Probably 50s or 60s. Other German jackets from the era that I've handled all had a very thick topcoat and were therefore very stiff. This one has a modest topcoat and drapes very nicely. Moleskin lining, satin sleeve lining, storm cuffs, beautiful machined belt buckle, ball and chain 'Ruhr' zipper pulls. The Germans really knew how to make a nice mc jacket. Why aren't we seeing more of these here on the lounge?

Too bad it's not my size

Just look at that belt buckle. But hey, I know someone whose size this perfect jacket is!

Bought a Wested "Skyfall style" jacket. Never had anything from them and after seeing the one posted in the classifieds I thought I'd give them a shot. Didn't want to reinvent the wheel and have fivestar do it and Wested seemed to get the collar right...They upgraded my order to dark brown cow FOC, so that was nice. I'm hoping it's thin and drapey.

Thats really useful pocket design. I thought I came up with it but I guess not. It’s like having two D pockets without the D patch. Left handed or not still works, and the crap in the pockets gets pushed to the sides and not poking at the belly like regular hand warmer type pockets.
Too bad it doesn’t fit. It’s an awesome jacket. FL Repro?

Thin and drapery? WHAT HAPPENED? What did you do with the real Ton312? Body snatcher?

I think it's a knee jerk reaction to the 5 Star...Yin Yang sort of thing

Yes, I’ve seen this before but fortunately you always swing back to the heavy side sooner or later.

I wonder who the maker was of the leather jacket Rainer Werner Fassbinder was so often pictured wearing

 

[regius]

Rockafella arrived. A bit ambivalent about size. Not sure what to do. Can’t say it’s Aero’s fault, more of a preference. They adjusted the tag size from my chosen 44 to 42, based on my numbers. But maybe I should have insisted on a 44. It’s a fitted pattern.

Very nice pick up! Jerky horsehide?

This dude had style! Anyway, the jacket in the pic you posted is Harro. I'm 99% sure.

Fassbinder must've had a couple different jackets (who's ever heard of that?!), because the one I posted has racing-style quilted shoulder reinforcements without epaulets, whereas the one you posted has standard shoulders, with epaulets.

No, I meant, the one you posted looks a lot like Harro. The other one that I posted, no clue.

The price is right for the Skyfall in lamb. Any idea what the weights are on some of their leathers?
