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

[Poltung]

After months of absolutely loving Sugar Cane's Indian Motorcycle cafe racer, I decided to pull the trigger on the SC Indian Motorcycle's Ranger as my very first (and probably last) cross-zip. If the construction and leather are as good as my other SC jacket, I'm sure I won't need to look for anything else.
Thanks @Monitor for enabling me :')

Looks as if LW did a limited, premium edition Perfecto. Stunning.

Yes, it showed up in fine condition and much larger than I had thought, I can comfortable wear it. I have done a couple of videos and will post them. I compare this one to another original and my Freewheelers brakeman.

Im waiting for this interesting bomber jacket to arrive. I still can't decide if I love the style or not...

I picked this cool mystery jacket up which i suspect could be a relined Aero. Fits great and doesn't have storm cuffs which is a bonus as they make my wrists sweat and itch so definitely a keeper.

Can't ID the zips as the main zip tab is missing. Brass zip bodies have 15 stamped on the back and are going green in places so seem pretty old. Pocket linings are tartan and heavier than the body lining. ****** pocket it is a different tartan to the hand warmers.

Suprise surprise, another Vanson.. A DJCB this time:

Folks, today I bought something amazing. I know I said SC's IM would be my first and last cross zip. Well, I lied. Turns out I have 0 self control when it comes to rarities like this:
A "Lightning" (like Lewis' 391) made by Lost Worlds.
I couldn't pass this up. I've never seen a LW in this style before, and it seems like it's unavailable on LW's website. If anyone has more info on this, I'm very curious about it.

Edit:
Stu made custom samples for a Japanese company many years ago, based off images the client provided him with, using 3oz HH. They were too expensive for the company, so there are only a few of these out in the wild.

You're going in the right direction. In Japan, you can find a lot of interesting jackets at a good price.

Unfortunately yes. And my sizes are the most common ones.

My next project.
Paid 5€ for that jacket, and now i start to rebuild it.

i don‘t know which kind of leather it is, but its super soft and thick.

It looks like sheep leather

I was just recapping my current interests and here what it looks like:

- 1 currently ordered jacket (long term)
- 1 jacket about to be ordered
- 1 jacket in talks

Then there are the list of what I am lusting after:

- 1 for the design (buttons)
- 1 for the type (longer, maybe a trench)
- 1 for the warmth (maybe shearling)
- 1 specifically for riding (thinking about Lewis Leathers)

There are a few others as well, this is getting quite excessive... how about you guys?

What usually happens next (fair warning ) is you stop chasing “more jackets” and start chasing the right builds—dialing in leather type (full-grain vs. suede vs. shearling), weight, lining, hardware, fit tweaks… that’s where it gets addictive.

If anything, you’re at a good stage—you know why you want each piece. That’s when collections start making sense instead of just growing.
