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

[El Marro]

I really like these. Where did you pick them up from?

I bought them from the IH website 27 minutes after they went live. I was lucky as I took the last **XL in both colors. I knew that these were going to be released soon so for the last couple weeks I’ve been checking the IH site at 8am my time every morning. Yesterday I slipped up and didn’t remember to look until 8:25!

Like @El Marro I have one in Indigo. It´s an XL, and the fit is on the generous side, but it´s ideal to fit over a chunky sweater. These are really (really!) well made, with a super sturdy outer shell and all the details you want (snap closure on handwarmers, inside pocket, storm-cuffs).

Only thing is, I snatched up a RMC N-1 lately, and it´s just a little bit more "cool". Construction and detailing in fact is inferior to the IH, so I don´t really know what to do. Have little use for both of them, but I will keep them over the cold months and see how I do.

Tom,
That jacket looks great man! I also find the fit a bit generous but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it still looks sharp, unlike some winter coats that turn one into a shapeless blob.
I have been curious about the RMC myself but I was so pleased with the fit and construction of the IH that I decided to double down.

I went and did it again. I've got a couple of these coming now. Figure I'll keep the one that fits better, better overall condition, etc.

I blame you for this.

Love the Sherpa lined storm rider! Were it not for my Brave star Sherpa, I’d be hunting one of those down hard.

Order placed for a Lewis Leather Corsair

Sounds great - did you go for light or dark brown sheep? I am toying with going for a Super Monza sometime soon, but cannot decide on brown sheep or black vegecow….I think either could work really nicely with the padding once it starts wearing in….but in the meantime my BRG Western order is in……the clock starts now!

Dark brown with Dogtooths tartan lining.
The Monza I also had in mind, but wanted to have this without the pads, otherwise this is too similar to my Racing Jacket. Unfortunately, these don't come without the pads.
Dominator with the chest pockets is too similar to my Sheene, Route 66 and Cafe Racer.
So Corsair because it is something different from the style.

Ah - I see your thinking! I have a similar dilemma but went down a different path….I have a few LLs in different styles and colours etc, but the SM is one itch I think I cannot resist scratching, although the Cyclone is the other final fork in the road. Will have to cogitate a bit longer and also see how my Vegecow Dominator keeps developing - so far I have been really impressed but I am hoping the teacore does not suddenly appear ridiculously fast, but emerges more naturally with wear. A few months in and its not giving me any worries yet but I have not seen any old versions of that leather, so its a bit of a shot in the dark - it is a really lovely hide though and its a toss up between that and the sheep if and when I pull the trigger on the SM….
Ps - we should hopefully get our new LLs around the same time - looking forward to comparing notes!

You living in Curaçao & having bought this to add to your extensive leather jacket collection... makes me feel better about buying a heavyweight wool trench coat (Coldwar Polish Army surplus) after having already acquired a sheepskin Bekesha for this winter along Lake Michigan.

I posted it a few days ago in the Finds and Deals thread, hoping someone would buy it.

Turns out, someone did.

Love it. I just got last week another B3. I couldn't justify yet another warmer lined jacket. but this Rider is every bit of cool.

I love the Herringbone. Got a cap in it, used to have a kick *** suit but it was “lost” in a move, and am always looking at vests with the pattern. I think you did well. And yes, you are becoming pops, but is that such a bad thing? Lol.

I positively hate two button blazers. I wish this one was a 4 button front with a Halfbelt and action back!

I'd rock this though on leather pants.

Yes, yes pleased to make your acquaintance sir.
