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

After getting my Aero leather and wool half belt last year I discovered I really like the wearability of the hybrid model, so I recently took advantage of the JPY/USD exchange rate and ventured into Buyee for the first time. Came away with a Mister Freedom Stadium Jacket and Sugar Cane Wabash Jacket:

Tossed in a couple rockabilly shirts for good measure by Sugar Cane and Style Eyes since I was already combining shipping:

Currently out for delivery. Kind of ironic it took less than a day and half to travel 6500+ miles, and now it's taking a full day for the last mile.

I got some jackets coming in over the next few weeks, but the one that excites me the most is this GW G-1 coming in,

Now that's an awesome jacket.
I was actually contemplating a Cooper G1 that's available for the same money as the A2 I bought because I love the fur collar and the G1 appeals to me more, but it was a later leather patch black label ( I assume early 2000's ) which has the side panels and would no doubt be that terrible 2 sizes too big except for the length kind of fit.
I never knew this kind of cut existed in a jacket until I bought this awesome looking leather collar Pendleton last year, and after that I am quite cautious.
Thankfully it fit my husky brother, because otherwise I'd be stuck with it.

yeah the cooper one seems to be the big V taper fit, there was one here compared with some other manufacturer's G-1's

I think that was a " better " earlier cooper than the one on Ebay I was contemplating, that is to say I assume they only got worse.

This just has the looks of a fairly modern civilian label, and I would not be surprised if it's a fairly low end jacket that's not even American made like it says, but I do not actually know.
