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

I have for years tried to find this jacket in good condition, my size, and without an extortionate price tag.

FINALLY, it arrived today - the Belstaff Howard aviator jacket.

Nice. Belstaff did a nice job on making this one look period - the sleeve logo aside. (I wonder if they ever released a version without it? AFAIK, they also supplied the screen-worn jacket(s), sans logo). What's the hide? Looks like's it's got a nice drape, something akin to goat.


Forgive me for non jackets..

Yen is so weak right now, the value is crazy. I got two teacore bags made by small solo makers (Standard Motorcycle Leathers and High Notch)

Plan to use them on my motorcycle and as a weekend bag to dodge the man purse allegations.

It's definitely bag weather.... I've had the rare pleasure of a few colder, wet June days here in London this last week, but from today it does look more like we're going to have another heatwave. Unable to wear a jacket in hot weather, a bag becomes invaluable.... I've mostly been using a Wested Indy bag recently. Full repop of the original, down to the correct interior divisions and tamp on the underside of the flap. They also do a leather version now.... torn between the black and the brown, though doubtless I'll eventually end up with both. At least one of them will be justifiable easily, as it's got none of the internal divisions of the canvas model, so can fit bigger stuff. I'm guessing still a bit smaller overall than that second one in your photo? Tempted by something a little bigger as well, though the danger there is of course the bigger the bag, the more stuff I'll inevitably carry...


Waiting on this California Sportswear jacket which looks in pretty much deadstock condition o_O

Lovely score! I've really come to like shiny brass on a black bike jacket.... Got my eye on an Aero that spec at some point, though it'll be a while away yet. Decided recently my old 618 is just neater than I really like, after all, so that's going on sale soon to fund a replacement of some sort. Was considering an Aero Indian Racer, but have fallen in with a good used deal on another, larger, 618, so if that works out something else from my wants list will likely trump the IR. Most likely the remake of my old Bootlegger which is just too small for me now, fifteen odd years later.

Suede dump 1 of 2 arrived. Schott and JCP. Love them both. The Schott type 3 is my absolute fav. They just did these right. Hopefully I can rescue the one from Japan.
The JCP is more of a shirt type but certainly has its charms.

Both jackets are thick, brown

Ton, nice fit on those! I fished this gun check and peacoat out of the bay last fall. And my old Guess leather jacket.

Should arrive tomorrow - the seller was kind enough to send it 3 day FedEx (I bought it from eBay but he’s a fellow lounger).

This jacket has passed through a few loungers’ hands already but has yet to find the right shoulders to fit. This will be my first horsehide and my first Lost World (it’s not tagged, but everyone agrees it’s LW) and I hope it fits me.

I’ll get it just in time to put it in storage and leave the country for the rest of the year.
