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

Well soon see how this one fits.

So you got it, I just saw that yesterday.

@Guppy @AeroFan_07 Took a chance on this TRD leathers, I am intrigued by this leather. Read a few post on this brand, seems good for the money. Seller told me it’s very heavy. View attachment 702578 View attachment 702579 View attachment 702580

So I've never owned a TRD (that I recall), but many similar. I like the leather and its "pullup" effect. Should make a nice non-black addition to your collection.

You had me losing my mind there for a minute. But I found why I tagged you in my TRD comment.

^^ Ha! Obviously, I have too short of a memory!! Good catch.

Seeing some other men posting on this subject has me thinking. As much as I love this forum and love leather flight jackets and leather utility jackets…I just have too many.
I just received my last M-422A from Bill Kelso and now kinda feeling regret.
There is so much more I could have done with that money. I currently have 9.
2 ELC m-422a’s, 1 AVI m-422a, 1 Buzz Rickson G-1, 1 Cockpit USA G-1, 1 Five Star A-2, 1 RMCNZ m-422a, 1 Bill Kelso m-422a and 1 original G&F m-422a.

Needing to sell and see if I can recoup some $$$

Lol only 9 !!!! You haven't started a collection compared to some forum members here.wait till you have 30plus

Took a punt on a fairly inexpensive mystery jacket on Vinted because it looks like it might be a Branded (which are hard to find in the UK, particularly in my size!)—we’ll see if I’m right when it gets here. Also hoping the patch is not too firmly attached…

A couple super cheap vinted punts arriving next week. A mysterious alleged 1950s biker jacket and a none mysterious Fidelity for the café racer collection.

 

[vilexile]

Mint 50S(?) horsehide (from what I can tell) OTW from Canada.. if anyone can tell what this is without a tag please let me know! Stars have been removed.

Grais or early Montgomery maybe?

Update: It was in no way a Branded! It was also a size larger than advertised so back it goes…

I think it was this thread where some were complaining about ordering from Bill Kelso was hit-or-miss. Apparently I swung and got a miss.

Ordered one of their jackets a year ago (don't remember what model), and there has been zero correspondence on their part. I emailed them a couple times and first, was told that it was being cut and they wanted to confirm the size. Several months later after not hearing anything I emailed them again. Now I am being told that there is a WORLDWIDE shortage of Talon zippers with no due date as to when more will appear. Really?!

 

[AeroFan_07]

All "new" Talon zippers are made elsewhere by other companies now. It's basically just a "brand" now.

Potential used jacket incoming.

Not sure about the shawl collar look. Maybe worth the risk for a catch n release down the line?

Amazing! I love the look of a shawl collar on a straight-zip jacket a lot personally(looks amazing with any shirt for example), and I really thinks it adds something "extra" compared to a regular shirt collar jacket

For example, I did change the collar to a shawl one on my first custom Thedi order and I'm super happy I did

Swing and a miss on this one!
Fit is way off for me, take a look for it in the classifieds here, it's already up for sale.

A french jacket that resembles a "Le Corbusier" but is not one.

 

[AHP91]

Sort of a jacket, picked up this oddball 30s/40s Harley rainsuit in good condition with the bag. Probably not everyone’s cup but I find it cool

 

[JMax]

Weak as a reed. I held off jackets for a good long while though. Hopefully it fits.

I get it, i would jump back in for a grey Vanson!
I hope it fits, but let me know if it's too small...

Will do. I believe these run big- just how big is the question.

But if I’m wrong and it’s small I will let you know.
