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

[Zoo]

@blm14 shared this neat Dutch crosszip in the finds thread. I decided to take a chance on it.

Alas, it's a miss. Bigger than I thought it would be.

I picked up a vintage Vanson brown leather jacket that appears to have been re-lined with a quilted liner (could be original but I haven’t seen a similar one). No inside pockets so I can’t find a serial number (discarded with the old liner or I don’t know where else to look?). Talon zippers. Leather is light and soft, definitely NOT competition weight leather. Size 40 and weighs only 4 lbs and a few oz. Built very close to my Model B but no chest pocket, no armpit leather “footballs”, beltlets constructed not as well as my B’s without keepers and no interior snaps/zipper for additional layering. Overall a nice casual jacket in very good condition and fits well.

Can I get measurements? How does it fit?

I'd like to say that my first shearling jacket is incoming, but ... not quite.
Branded Garments shearling vest from JP.
About 2 more weeks until the official start of winter here, let's see if it can reach me by then.

Nice. I'm increasingly tempted by something like that for wearing round the house in Winter (or under an overcoat if gonig out the door).

I will pm you this weekend with measurements. Mostly just too big through the chest and shoulders for me. I am more size 40.

Hello, I picked up this old goat from the finds and deals. Perfectly distressed to my liking. H1 for 1941. Have a good one

Fell off the wagon and back on the train. Been itchin' for a b*thchin' Bates:

Then I nabbed a Swanky's Vintage rayon repro. Thanks to the forum and the Wayback Machine I think this might be the Hughes jacket:

Nobody likes a quitter anyway...

For a groovy Bates like that a relapse was worth it!

We all know that the proper number of leather jackets to own is N+1, but I recently lost my mind and bought 4 jackets within a month.

Starting with a Schott 613SH in **L (sz46)

The same week I found this irresistible 80s Lewis Leathers Bronx in sz46 on eBay UK for £180

And 2 weeks after I ordered both a RR3 and a Hudson from Rugged West.

50’s Taubers, I’m guessing HH?

Nothing at present. Measuring all the size 48 and 46 chest (Tall) Repro A-2 and G-1 jackets and comparing measurements with the view of selling some off.

Once again I roll the dice on a mystery jacket that looks a bit like a branded (which almost never crop up this side of the pond). Last time I did this it was a terrible “genuine leather” generic jacket in poor leather, but I like to make a point of never learning from my mistakes. Both the main zip and coin pocket are looking plausible, the removable belt less so…

Schott leather pea coat incoming. Christmas gift for myself. I might wrap it and open on Christmas.

 

[raf]

No jackets incoming. Currently test-fitting uninsulated jackets with various fleece jackets underneath and will probably "cull the herd".

Since cold out, currently have a repro Bronson WW2 USMC Pile-Lined Vest (Modified) incoming. Already have one of their repro C-2 full front zip woolen sweater jackets.

Currently (Black Friday) Minimum of 10% off site-wide, and free shipping on orders exceeding $59.

Channelin Jeo from a few pages back. "It's a Lesco"

"It's a Lesco"

Also works for me!

Ordered a brown Schott 673 today that I’ve been eyeing for a while. With their black Friday discount plus an extra 20% back with PayPal pay later reward, it ended up being too good a price to pass up on. Hoping it looks as good in person as it does in some of the photos I’ve seen posted!

I have an ABYSMAL hit rate for keepers but I just keep on trying.. Pessimistically fingers crossed.
Y'2 leather LS-15 coming in from JP.
Long button half-belt / car coat.
