My collection so far... What's next?

[Ole K. Vik]

Just thought I would share my leather jacket collection so far... The weather was so nice today so I had a little photo session in my garden.

1. Himel Brothers Wolverine
2. Rainbow Country Sports Jacket
3. The Flat Head Delraiser
4. Fine Creek Leathers Eric
5. Eastman Leather Clothing A-1

Would love to hear your opinions. Which jacket should be the next, you think?

Any particular model in mind?

 

[Riu]

I like The Route 66 model as it is but I saw @MrProper's with a different collar and I can only say it looks fantastic!

None! You’re set. Epic selection.

ps: ok, if you must, how about FW Brakeman? You “need” a car coat...

 

[JMax]

CR or a Half-belt seem to be missing. Thedi.

 

[Jin431]

i think you have a pretty diverse collection already. Different patterns, different makers, different Leathers, different colors. You got pretty much all bases covered really so congratulations. Maybe a LW, FW, Thedi or a custom FL of would be cool to have.

 

[Carlos840]

Some brands you are missing that are IMO worth exploring:

Vanson
Lost Worlds
Lewis Leathers
Langlitz
Freewheelers

I'll give it another 10 years and I'm all ready for the car coat and sixpence!

Thanks! Would love to get my hands on a FW Mulholland in vintage black or maybe vintage brown. Thedi looks tempting too...

Agreed on a mulholland, I hope you get to have a chance to acquire one. I recently got a brown one in my size and I'm hooked as I'm also searching for a black counterpart as well. Definitely Thedi is on my radar too, I'm in talks with them for a jacket as well.

 

[Spiney]

Stunning collection already.

 

[Monitor]

Something original. Meaning vintage.

All new territory for me... Exciting, and next level rabbit hole

While we're at it... How is sizing for FW. Same for you as other brands/japanese brands or different?

I'm a size 36 in other brands (Aero/Johnson Leather) and the FW 36 fits me perfectly. I'll try to find the thread but the sizing was discussed here recently.

Go for it. Find a Buco! You'll see a whole different level of everything. They may look similar, even the same but old leather is SO much different than mostly anything new.

Beautiful collection. Only thing I’d add:
C
X
L

 

[AeroFan_07]

TBH an Aero would seem a downgrade to your current collection, but perhaps a Indian Ranger or 30's Half-belt from them would be worth a look. Then again the Thedi's such as this one could be a really intersting jacket. https://www.thurston-bros.com/colle...-half-belt-size-xxl-hand-dyed-cocoa-buffalo-1

Or maybe you are the one person on here who could pull off an ELMC Highwaystar. No-one has yet.

Maybe even this Ostmann - https://www.historypreservation.com...-1945/german-luftwaffe-leather-flying-jacket/

I see you have a grizzly so you are not afraid to have a jacket out of the box. Wonderful photography of them all, with a rarely seen blue sky in winter.

 

[Pandemic]

Field Leathers J100 - before you know it, the wait time will be insane.

Aero HWM or half belt in heavy steer CXL.

Thedi Cossack

freewheelers looks damn cool on @dudewuttheheck

Suede trucker, maybe?

How about a longer coat, since it looks like you get actual winter where you live?
