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

That coat must cost a lot in shipping! Love them both and the boots. But mainly the coat. Perfect length. Just above the knee and not showing too much thigh. Most modern coats are too short to be proper coats. What kinda lining did you put in that coat? Wool?

I used a burgundy rayon, with a hide this silky to the touch, I wanted a lining that matched in feeling

A bit over 5kg, my heaviest jacket so far

Bit the ****** and ordered a Buzz Rickson Gibson MA-1; this will be my first nylon flight jacket for when leather is too much for the occasion

 

[Frank Lesellier]

Jacket arrived. I imagine I'll probably wear the jacket more often now.

cool jacket!!! Let me know if ever it's for sale. Best regards

There you go. Very nice. TB or direct from Vanson?

TB maple syrup! Not sure how I feel about the leather. If it’s NFG I’ll send it back for a custom. I do love this pattern though. It’s like a straight zip model E. I forgot just how good Vanson is.

Curious to hear your report on the Maple. Have yet to see any pics of it in the wild / after some miles. Also, of course, my normal boring inquiry regarding water resistance.

Also curious about the Maple. Despite my earlier comment that Vanson IS Comp Weight, this looks mighty nice. Hope it is too.

I'm definitely done after receipt of my absolute grail jacket (FW Mulholland) which has been sold by fellow member @Knakorn Piulueangsawat to me today - hopefully shipping from Bangkok to Germany is swift and smooth:

Hell yeah. I'd love to see how this turns out for you. Was just in touch with TB about these...

I’ll post my thoughts! Initially I wasn’t too fond of this leather. Recent batches look a bit darker, and I prefer that!

Please do! I'm curious, did you go with the smaller size(40 as opposed to 42 I think?) on the TB maple leather? Carrie mentioned that it's medium weight, so the jacket could fit snugger but still be comfortable.

I confirmed the numbers on the 40”
23” chest
19” shoulder
It’s an inch longer in the body of my comp weight but otherwise measures exactly the same!

I'm definitely done...

Congrats Robbie! Hope it arrives safely and fits the way you want it.

When was the last time you ordered something from a printed mail catalogue?
And the catalogue came with actual stamps. Actual stamps. Well done Langlitz.
