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

My second IPcress is being built and should be here by months end. This one is shrunken sheepskin and shows some crazy grain. This guy has absolutely mastered the 60’s Levi’s shorthorn pattern.

Couple updates to the MF Campus I got a couple weeks ago.

 

[newtojackets]

New one on its way to me. Is this a brooks? The back design looks slightly different but I feel like I’ve seen some brooks like this before

 

[newtojackets]

Another new one I’m considering. Is this a brimaco?

congrats! i was eyeing this listing as well. I was at JL last week and was pleasantly surprised at how well the off-the-rack jackets fit.

Just received a Fine creek as a gift.
Bought an Aero half-belt last year. Bought a Schott 530, but don’t like the fit.
Prior to these - had a few all saints and realized I would like something better.
Planning on visiting Aero shop in the fall and ordering one more from them!

You should have bid on it if just to keep me from accumulating more, lol. It looks in well worn shape, and no i didnt pay asking.

i actually did put an offer in, but the seller declined, funny enough. if the measurements work for you, then I think you're going to like the jacket, from my experience in the store.

I have this Well Made Leather Jacket coming to me. It needs some repairs, but the bones (leather condition) look good. There isn't a ton of information on this company out there, but it appears they were a factory to you like Trojan was. I wouldn't be surprised to find a H&L Block or SImmons Bilt connection with previous employment to the owner since these guys were based in Oakland.

Both ads are from the mid 50's.

1967 Polk Oakland Directory:

Edit to add that Well-Made was owned by Harry Tauber, one of the famous Tauber bros of San Fran.

I have a JT-79 from Johnson Leathers on the way. That style looks like their M-500 with the side laces removed, and I'd been contemplating a custom M-500 without the side laces for a while, so that style seemed like it would be right up my alley. Hopefully, it's a good fit.

I have a Barneveld from JL in the works also -- they seem to be constantly tweaking the patterns over time, the new Barneveld has a few refinements, in my opinion.

As I usually do around this time of year I went on a denim bender.
I rebought this Ralph a size down from the last one I had, it’s a bit corny but I love it:

Picked up this Ralph with a funky liner:

Thrifted this Levi’s for about the cost of an Al’s beef:

And picked up the real deal Lee off Poshmark:

Awesome finds I really like the first RL, super cool denim jacket.

Cheers!

Always my fav jacket

I got this Mister Freedom Ringo in the mail yesterday but I'm not sure about the size. I feel like it might be too small, but that a size up might not be a good fit either? Maybe the pattern just isn't for me. Here are some pics, if anyone could give me their input that would be great. This is a size 42 and I'm 6'4, 200lb.

 

[Bawheid]

Looks allrighty to me.

Entirely inappropriate until probably October, but I've got another Sheffield coming.

I had a Medium before, in Navy blue, but it was just too snug. I know everybody wants a snug fit, but I don't. I want a Paul Newman fit.

So now I've got a Large inbound. This time in a more historically accurate olive.

It will never be a Buzz Rickson or a Real McCoys, or even a Bronson Mfg. But it's good enough for my everyday*

*assuming it ever gets cold again.
