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

[Bfd70]

Took a chance on this. Only 50% sure on the fit. May be a catch and release.

@AHP91 your pickups lately have been insane! Definitely want to see more of the leathercand wool piece as well as the aviator.

I have been selling, trading, and buying. A new one today is a late 30s early 40s racing shirt in what looks to be very nice condition. Cool front 30s sleeve zips, 30s looking collar.

Nice jacket. It appears to me like a very late 50s or early 60s design. Zippers are 40s.

Vintage Bates purchased for a pittance from Japan:

Received a Filson Mackinaw work jacket for Christmas in a nice black/dark green plaid, and I've been really enjoying it. First Filson garment I've ever owned and one of the USA-made ones too.

Damn! How do the E/W's fit? They tend to run small I gather. I'll be looking for WAYWT posts.

They run VERY small. Size 42 means 21" ptp. Bigger sizes are hard to find so I feel lucky to have found a size 46.

Arrived today - a stock Premiere Highwayman in Jerky HH Black, size 44.

This is my 2nd Aero, I bought a made to order Hooch Hauler around 2 years ago which was made as size 42 but I feel less constricted (especially in the back) by it than this one, not sure if it's the Hauler pattern or the break in.

I like it so far, but definitely feels like a t-shirt only, unzipped kind of jacket.

Sorry to hear! I was crossing the fingers for you on this one. Very nice one!

T shirt and unzipped it’s a good model fit. If i keep it i’ll be ocd that its a little too snug. I’m a tweener

@newtojackets if losing resale is a problem, you' are in the wrong hobby, Does it really matter when you have thousands already invested in jackets? Wear it and enjoy,

I found that the jerky HH stretches. At least it did so in my Aero board racer. You should hang in there.

The Premier line all run a markedly neater fit than the regular lines. Typically equivalent to one size down (or two if it's a regular HWM you're comparing). Legend has it that the origin of these was a "tight fit" created for the Japanese market.

The Premier Highwayman is interesting in particular as it is Ken's reinterpretation of how the HWM might have looked had it been a 30s, rather than 50s, design.
