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

[Viking752]

I found a brown Vanson A-2 and worked out a transaction for it. I have been searching for a brown one for some time now as they just do not pop up very often for sale in my big ass size. Looking forward to getting my grubby paws on this beauty.

Found a vintage G-1 that fit my criteria of mouton/original knits. Spiewak and Sons, I had one of these years back and was surprised how well it was made.

Cool

Cool Sierra. Leather looks way better than the military jackets.

I own several Sierras and none have disappointed. At present they seem a bargain. Another was just posted.

This Admiral Byrd is on the wing. I could not be more pleased. My favorite of the Roughwear clothing two pocket style. I have it in a smooth leather, but not the suede leather. It will fit too, wearable.

For my closet this is a big find. This was a popular style in the MW catalog. The 2 way pocket trademark held by Roughwear Clothing Co. applied for 1936. This jacket has a mid 40s zipper.

Yes, came from ebay auction.. Quite well pictured and described

An original "fancy" lining is a big plus for me. These jackets came in a variety of linings. This jacket was made in Middleton, Pennsylvania. The use of the suede material may show a lack of other hides being available during WWII. Wow!

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Cal(-bell):

As a bonus, seller said buy the jacket get some matching pants for free. No pics of the pants, so we'll see what shows up.

Shoutout to @JMax for posting this in the Finds & Deals thread inconspicuously.

In a feeble attempt to be cool like @Monitor, I have this vintage Knopf suede blazer coming. Seller listed it as horsehide, but we'll see what shows up...I have a month to return it.

This is a gorgeous one, kept trying to shrink the measurements so that I could buy it.

I've done the same many times. This jacket will be here today.

More budget café racer sifting on vinted and found this Jean Shop jacket for £60. Not 100% sure about this since I read they are made in NYC and this one says made in China on the label.

Very cool. I had my replica made after exactly this model.

Are you kidding me!? For $60?? This is the best CR I had!

It says made in China on the label so I'm not sure it's the real deal but fingers crossed!

It is. The later ones are made in China but they're good.

This Pendleton should arrive tomorrow. From what I can find it's got a label from the 30's-40's and perhaps a "giant" Talon zipper that the only reference I could find was from @tmitchell59 dating it to mid 50's. Any other insight from TFL'ers?

I know nothing about Pendleton labels. The Tear drop Talon is more 60s and the big main could be the same.. I can say the zippers are not 30s or 40s.

Nice with the two ziper.

Just got this from Johnson Leathers. Custom Del-66 in 6oz Horween CXL steer. Loving it!

Almost bought a freewheelers wool jacket but held off...600 seems steep for wool

Well the diamond Gusset work jacket I ordered from All American clothing arrived today, and it's way too big.
I didn't pay that much aattention to the size chart, but they list the chest size for a small as 46.
I measured it and not counting the storm flap like they do, it's a 44.

How the hell is a size 44 a small ?

This one landed. Needed a soak but the fit is good! All the way from Kuala Lumpur!
