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

[Blackadder]

I have this coming in. A Montgomery Ward. This one is likely to be too large for me but I have to give it a try as the price is very reasonable. Flaws as far as I can see are only the broken zipper pulls on the sleeves (zipper still works) and torn lining at a few places.

Did you say too large? Remember me BA, remember me.

Sadly, I think mine has the same measurement as yours. Around 18 inch shoulder, 23 p to p according to the seller. I am hoping it will fit if I wear a sweater or a hoodie.

I also got tempted by that 10% discount on Aero and I've ordered on Friday a Kelpie Brown Hooch Hauler. Blackened brown also looked cool, so did the high grain seal Jerky... hope I won't regret the leather choice.

I also wanted to check with them if they can "simplify" those vents on the back and reduce the number of panels. Not sure if they have a practical purpose but I think it would look cooler/cleaner with less pieces.

I have the Hooch. The center vent is functional and needed because it’s a very slim cut. The fan back is decorative. But I also doubt they will change the fan back design On the Hooche. There was a time when I swore I wouldn’t wear a vajayjay backed jacket. I’ve eaten my words many times over now.

I hope it works out for you. Incredible jacket. That S2S kills me.

 

[TheWickerMan]

Haha, yeah, the center vent makes sense and I don't mind that one. I'm not 100% sold on the side ones - if they're just decorative.

Me in Ken's (and before that, a WWII airman's) jacket next week.

It’s a size too small and yet the naval jacket pattern with its action back is so good that I have complete freedom of movement with it zipped up to the throat. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered that with a leather jacket before.

I've got a mouton lined trucker jacket coming at some point from Ciano Farmer, but I'm still deciding what fabric to use. I'm not all that enamored with denim these days, especially as winter fabric, and he's got a nice wide wale corduroy.

 

[ton312]

The pièce de résistance of my Halfbelt collection is coming. First up is leather mock up to dial in the fit.

I look very forward to giving a full report on the finished product, which will be done up in a dyed trough black shinki HH.
More details to come
Finished product will be a repro of this jacket in black:

He had some really heavy duck canvas that would make an awesome trucker, as well.

This would be my choice

Party poopers. You guessed it. Reg has really impressed me thus far. He has an incredibly detailed eye and understanding of the original patterns. I’m thrilled to be an early adopter!

Good choice, in my opinion his pattern looks far better than FL.
