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

[raf]

Yesterday I bought an XL Tall LL Bean goatskin A-2 for $132 all-up. Woolens will need some TLC, but the jacket should freshen-up nicely. We'll see how it fits, but other LLB jackets of same size are fine.

I'll be on the look-out for a sheepskin body/thinsulate sleeve LLB G-2 in correct size.

Ooh that looks right up my alley, tell me more!

It is 15.7 oz raw slubby selvedge denim with 11 oz olive cotton herringbone lining.

Modified type 1 jacket (has the back of a type 2)

Made to my measurements, triple stitching in copper and yellow, blue button hole stitching, raw brass buttons and raw copper rivets from citronjeans. One inside pocket.

All in all 405 USD with shipping. Made by Biksdenim, he is an artist turned jacketmaker. Great guy! I gave him creative freedom with all the colors.

Beautiful stuff, great make up (although I'd definitely go for a type 1 back).
Can't wait to see more photos of this lovely custom order, including some fit pics!
I'm still enjoying the hell out of this IH that I got ~3 years ago:

Damn, you nabbed it. I was seriously intrigued by this one, but never bought from Fake@ before and wasn’t sure what the process was as I didn’t see it on the site either, just their IG page.

Please post more when it arrives.

So, quite a few actually on order now, with quite a few more to sell. Here is the list:

Thedi Idas but in chestnut bruciato (late 2026)

Field Leathers aviator in tobacco badalassi (should have been March/April, who knows now)

Haha, I sold one jacket already, plus have 3 others to sell and a couple watches. Oh, and the Goodwear is at least 18-24 months out, so just a deposit.

Just ordered a sheep wool blend body/Thinsulate sleeve XL Long LL Bean Goatskin Jacket for $175 all-up. This particular version has A-2 full front zipper flap, epaulettes, and real Mouton collar, so it is a mixture of G-1 and A-2 features. Lightly distressed OEM finish on the leather, and hoping finish can be darkened, perhaps by using oil or dye.

Got a black Flat Head HS005 from Rivet and Hide last month, ordered a Rainbow Country Hercules in Seal Brown from Mushman's today. Was debating whether or not to get the RC Spider car coat instead of the Hercules.
Gonna need to keep the latter purchase hidden from my family for a bit haha.

I have a locker at the office where I work. I used to hide all the new boots I got there until they were broken in and seemed "old".
Then two years ago my wife applied for a job at the same department as I work. Hiding new stuff the past two years is a struggle.

Lay down, use your jackets to spread out the weight. You’ll make it!
