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

[Jon Crow]

I hope that was your plan.

If it was a toy for a kid it would be the GI Joe deserter model

Any idea on who made it for Harley?

Blatt of Chicago

Thanks for your concern. Yes, it was my plan

I’m also gambling on the condition of this one, was back and forth for quite a while.

Did he tell you about the hole in the shoulder?

Nice jacket though, Minnesota Woolen. Here's the same jacket in tan.

I saw your IG video of the Blatt, which helped me decide on whether to pull the trigger.

This below paragraph by @jonbuilder also helped.

That Blatt has a hole in the armpit and needs a new zipper. Shouldn't be a hard or costly fix. That's a nice jacket IMO. I hope to see it some day on the WJAYWT page.

Guess we'll soon see about Rugged West jackets.
I snagged one for a good price, and if it's not to my liking I'll turn it around on here for the same price I picked it up for. Photos & details soon forthcoming.

The large Rugged Rider on eBay? I got close to buying that but I’m not 100% sure if I need Large or XL. Would be interested to hear your thoughts, particularly on how snug/restrictive it feels.

And lastly, for now, this old weekend wool whateevr jacket from the 40s came in. Wish it were a bit bigger but it’s cool

Affirmative.

Not usually a fan of suede, but I couldn’t pass up this mint Californian. Jewel of a sunburst Talon zipper dated February 1939. Amazing fit to boot.

That is a beauty! 1939, was a fine year for leather outerwear. The catalogs of this era always offered suede jackets, often different styles. Either they got little wear or worn out.

Thanks Terry! Yes, in the heart of the golden era. This will probably be my only suede. Price was too good not to buy.

Great find! Not usually a suede guy either, but that era really did them well. Hard to argue when condition and price line up like that.

Cheap unlabeled Guidemaster Wolf, most zippers were broken. Upon receiving it, the jacket reeks of BO and lining shows signs of mildew. Seller disclosed neither. Idc how cheap it is, but it’s going back. I can’t stand strong smells.

Seller measures 21x28 but it’s actually 22x25.

This is a Fidelity, not a Guidemaster by Wolf

That's too bad as it's not in too bad of shape. But yeah I've been down the mildew smell path, and it's not fun nor easy to deal with.

The BO alone kills it for me haha
