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

Currently FromJapan has a 10% Mercari coupon running until tomorrow midnight JP time. Max 10k yen.
And usually on Saturdays they run a 8% Mercari campaign.
If that will be true this time as well then it's a 18% discount off Mercari for a bit.
+ potential 10% negotation.
So potentially 28% total discount.

Buzz Rickson's melton wool machinaw coat.
Confirmed my own theory - got this one with a 28% discount in total (10% fashion coupon, 8% campaign, 10% negotiation).
Been watching it for a few months but could never quite pull the trigger.
Let's see if it works out!

Pleasant color and lots of pockets. I'd advise you to be careful about FromJapan's Charge 2 though, shipping fees have risen due to holiday surge + oil prices + FJ greed. Hopefully they put out another shipping coupon in November.

FromJapan also uses an automated system for customs/HTS codes, so I'd recommend contacting their support if the customs fees look too high - I had that happen recently when they initially misclassified one of my jackets as cotton (which bumped the tariffs up by several thousand yen).

This jacket looks good, but you're clearly paying the brand name. Did you get it on sale?
LOL at $16,000 or whatever that jacket sells for, I do not know what you are paying for - maybe the yacht fees of the company owner.

No, I did not buy that laughably overpriced item LOL, nor would I even if I was a russian oligarch, saudi prince, or tech billionaire. At least not unless they offered me like a 95% discount.

Agreed, I don't think it's worth more than 5%-10% of the asking price :)

At the $18,000 price per item, I hope you're pleased with the jackets. Kinda doubt very many folks will be jumping to buy same item, but who knows?

The Internet "written" format is a poor one with which to display sarcasm, for example.

You didn't hear? Worf and Edward the mods issued a rule where buying Brunello Cucinelli jackets are now a requirement for remaining a member here. If you are unable/unwilling to do so, you can alternatively buy five of these and wear one each day for a year:

Thanks for advice. I've sent in my order for ten of the "Ultimate CEO jackets" in Seal brown. Awaiting confirmation as I type.

We can only hope with fingers crossed that you will look as cool, suave and dapper as Jensen does, the very epitome of Steve McQueen Cool on stage.

Another one using the 18% Mercari discount on FromJapan. This works every Saturday until the 15th.

If the rest of it works out I'm prepared to butcher it and narrow down the waist and bottom hem to fit me better (I'm assuming it will be too wide for me).

This one was expensive compared to the usual stuff I order from Japan, so I'm a bit more nervous.
But also very excited!

I have really wanted a Y2 Leather N1 (especially the olive eco horse version) for a long time now, especially after I received my incredible Pike Brothers waxed N1.
But I have absolutely no hope of ever finding it used in my size for a reasonable price.

So this Buzz Rickson will have to do for now!

Sitting on one custom order that’s still a few months out, and actively trying to convince myself I don't need a second cross zip. The problem with this sub is that seeing everyone else’s incoming hides just resets your patience clock every single week.
