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

Wow, last time i painted/ pigment coated black, siting there for few months now seems the dye get absorbed unevenly, and looks quite wild.

Will you touch it up with more coating of paint? Can't wait to see the finished piece

Hi, this one's on it's way to me ... Langlitz Columbia with mandarin collar. Looks like the collar is a modificaction, as there are snaps for a regular w collar remaining...

Was this the one in Oregon that you needed some help with shipping?

Amazing jacket, Mysteryo! I remember seller used "cossack collar" in the auction description. What's the difference between mandarin and cossack collar? I've made a research but nothing instructive found.

Y'all noticed that busted sleeve zipper, I hope?

Right sleeve zipper?

 

[Monitor]

Right sleeve zipper?

Yeah, isn't it just hanging on one teeth row?

 

[Leather Walker]

Besides the zipper, one of the belt loops missed half snap. Anyway, I imagine these issues are easy to fix Great patina, btw.

 

[Ugly Genius]

But why your last? Isn’t there just one more jacket you gotta have, just one?

I know, I know, but you being an enabler, jonsey. I’m trying to be good and not buy too much.
Who am I kidding—?
There’s always one more…

no I will leave it be, this is the cheating start to get a faded leather jacket I would ever get to fade in my own lifetime...

Apparently the blotchiness was not that severe from this morning when I check, cloudy black, but not corpselike the way pictured yesterday. I like the round cutout for the pocket, the raw edges is polished before, being joined with the welt.

Yes I saw that. I had the same issue once, it’s not so hard to fix(hopefully)
Also the belt loop issue shouldn’t be a Big deal.

Yes it is! I eventually asked a good friend of mine who just moved to LA to be the intermediate. Thanks to all of you who offered to help! You’re a great community

Same thing, different terminology.
Dave Himel explains it in one of his videos about the Kensington, if my memory serves me well.
Cossack is more used for jackets like the Mister freedom Campus, or Himel heron. And mandarin is more for cafe racer (shirt racer) like Buco J00, brooks cr….

 

[MrProper]

My first old jacket.
Probably too expensive, but for my measurements there is little choice. With a little luck it might just fit me.
If not... I might send it to Five Star

Yeah, the term is interchangeable but from what I read, some Cossack uniforms or whatever had diagonal closing so could be he's referring to that. Like that Langlitz. But I think it's the same thing; Prussian, Russian, Mandarin... It's all short, stand-up collar.

I received my new larger unfinished HH jacket from IH yesterday. Here are a couple shots of it right out of the box:

I threw a coat of Pecards on the jacket right after taking these photos. It darkened up quite a bit, almost to a caramel color in some places, but as the conditioner absorbed into the jacket it lightened back up.
Here’s a shot of the jacket post treatment:

This jacket feels nice and substantial and the smell is simply intoxicating. I’m really looking forward to breaking this one in.

Congratulations.
At first I thought, what is he doing with my jacket? lol

 

[handymike]

Lookin’ good!
You might want to get a container of the Pecards oil and a sponge or paint brush. Using the paste would be seriously time consuming if you’re going to do it often.

Thank you!
Mine is not quite as cool as yours but I would say it is a close second.
