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

[LeatherHunter]

I've seen this seller and always wondered about the darker pocket cover. These look like NOS stock for sure. Did you end up getting a 184SML? They are longer in the body and the sleeve. Was the leather uniform and perfect? Were the brass snaps corroded at all? Did the faux collar's number (four digits) match the jacket's number?

I will receive it next week and see the condition. It is a 184SM regular length, this one is 26” in the body and the new ones on Schott are listed as 27”. Hopefully it fits.

For you, I'd always try and get a "LONG", and you'd probably like the fit better. I'm actually just guessing from your earlier comments.

After spending too much time in the gym I’m in the bittersweet situation where a lot of my current trim fitting jackets are too tight and will have to be moved on.

I’ve decided to go old school and just ordered a nice looking classic gold label brooks.

Brooks are great!

Wasn't looking to buy, but this black Hercules A2 came along. Very nice steerhide by Appalachian Tanned and Tailored. Could replace my Buzz Rickson black A2.

I've just ordered a waxed cotton jacket. Traditional Trialmaster style, you know the drill. But not a Belstaff.

As you may remember, I've always erred towards waxed cotton rather than leather, even though you're probably thinking "who is this bloke again?" because I haven't posted for ages because I haven't worn a jacket at all since about May.

Nevertheless, as a Brit who rumbles about on an old Triumph Bonneville, waxed cotton has always appealed.

So I've just ordered this -

I think it might be quite nice, but I'll let you know, obv.

And if it is nice, I've got a plan...

Just unboxed this but sadly too small for me...

H.L.B. Corp B-3 from New Zealand days. Can't wait to see these legendary merino fleece B-3 jackets:

The Schott 184 arrives tomorrow. New with tags but research reveals that the gold Schott Logo lining was used in the mid-90’s. New very old stock? Time will tell..

Someone had an old stash, very cool, just want to know how the leather is, it looks like good naked cowhide for sure...better than the 80's versions...

 

[Monitor]

Just when I thought I can't be impressed with leather anymore... Veg tanned horsehide. If it only fit me.

I also got thee a few days ago. Bought them with an intent to resell but I've never had a cooler, better pair of leather pants so they stay. Dsquared2.

Who's the maker/brand?

Who's the maker/brand?

Neil Barrett. I don't know much about it but the prices are generally astronomical.

This arrived yesterday and it's absolutely terrific. It deserves its own thread I think, so that's what I'm going to do.
