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

I went to Japan, tried on jackets from every Japanese maker you can think of, and I'm bringing a Schott home with me lol. Well, at least the leather came from a Japanese tannery .

You are So Lucky to get to go to Japan and then try on all the manufacturers that are located in Japan.
I just Love the Horsehide Leather and Color of your Jacket.

Funny isn't it, going to Japan and buying a USA made jacket.

Japanese patterns are not for me.

Somehow that doesn’t completely surprise me - wild colour on that leather, v cool.

Took advantage of the Aero Sale and ordered a D-1 for my wife and a B-6 for me. Both redskin.

Saw the Aero Sale thread from @MrProper first thing this morning and finally caved after watching these for quite some time:

One for me and one for my boy.

I was also looking at that wool halfbelt. It's a nice looking jacket. Enjoy it.

Thanks! I have watched it for a while and have come close to pulling the trigger during past sale(s). I also liked the Aeromarine but the dimensions on this halfbelt should fit me better.

It’s very nice looking. So Cool!

Thank you. I agree that these mixed leather + wool pieces are an interesting style.

Zero surprise there. Having only sampled the selection of "finest" Japanese leather jackets, I'm pretty sure the Japan-exclusive Shinki Perfecto would be the only thing that'd interest me at all over there.

They even seem to have upped the construction game on this jacket, though! The belt loops are so well made.

DANG. That color is unreal.

 

[Leather Walker]

On the way this Lesco I bought yesterday. Serval zippers. One half unstitched belt loop, easily fixable. Let's see what kind of leather is that, but my guess it's steerhide.

 

[PeterRocco]

Very Nice Find! Do you know anything about the History of Lesco. I know they used heavy leather and High Quality Hard Wear making their Jackets. Look like from the 1970’s?

Well, I did a little search about Lesco, especially 'cause many times I find their jackets in almost every vintage store I visit. But nothing better than rescuing the post of @Gamma68 talking about their history.

 

[PeterRocco]

I going to read the post. Thanks.

What a tease.... Showing a sliver.... C'mon man, this deserves its own little thread, and then regular appearances in WJAYWT thread.

I'm going to put on some wear first before writing the review. Waaaay too warm for jackets now though. The review will come after summer

Here's some preview pics.
