How many jackets of one particular company do you all own !!!!

Four Aeros, for all seasons (apart from summer), several others. Can't wear any of them, global warming round here, end September, 25 degrees centigrade. I've lived in constant August since February, blue blazers, white shirt, jeans, mid brown shoes, no socks. Makes life simple.

I did own three Eastmans but I sold two of them on ebay this year as they were a little small for me. The most of one manufacturer I own now are Avirex jackets. There are nine total. I have three horsehide and one in goatskin that are fairly historically accurate. I also own five in lambskin (the roomier design). They are my guilty pleasure. I must admit I like the red silk linings and Flying Tigers tribute. I buy them smaller so they are not so blousey.

Undoubtedly Aero - one Bootlegger, one goat A2, one AN6552, one brown Thirties halfbelt, one black MC jacket, one Waterfront wool jacket. Six in all. Next would be Eastman, with two (one horse Roughwear A2, one 42 pattern Irvin).

Well, it started out this way but became "How many jackets do you all own and what are they?" There is another thread where everybody listed all their jackets they owned at that time. Somehow the part "one particular company" got lost. [huh]

I agree Van, but I guess the contents of people's collections can change from time to time.

Fine line between a static, (boring?) forum and dupe posts. Dunno, I think we all need to just ignore things if they get to the "please use the search button" answer. I've searched only to find pics that are dead, info that is outdated, etc. Otherwise, we just put up stickies and don't post new things :)
BTW - there's an electric "BOB" Irvin on Ebay as of last night - have you seen it??
It's here...

Yes, I have seen the two which are on Ebay. The smaller one from Germany briefly passed through my hands and the larger one has all the wires dangling down and is therefore really only a display item.
