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

Made in San Francisco found in Japan. Top Notch half-belt by Ralphs-Pugh. Probably a size 42. 1950s. This company gets more interesting with each jacket. This one just showed up sort of unannounced. No mention of the name in the listing.

I just got two dark brown Levi's truckers off e bay..one M & one L..for some reason they saw fit to remove the leather patch by the hanger & cut off the red tabs from by the chest pocket(s)..
Got an Aero waiting to be cut (for summer) & an Eastman I bought a while back for winter

Great collar!

Yes, each of their products I've seen have a Flair. This is a rather fortunate find for me. I've gathered a few of their jackets. The Collars, Leathers, all unique. The Labels are more varied than I thought and go back to the late 30s. Several of the jackets I own are from the 50s like this half-belt. I found a 30s Ralphs-Pugh jacket in my closet but with another label.

The 30s doesn’t jive with the story I got from the granddaughter, but if anyone can date it, it’d be you.
Please post them all in the Ralphs-Pugh thread at some point! You know how I love this company’s jackets.

Finally I'm prepared for an Arctic Winter in the center of Europe.....RMC NZ B-3. Even if it's really thick and warm I got the best feelling with this one as I've been wanting one for years and as it will be difficult to get a second hand one in this condition from a seller located in the EU at this price. I really hope that it fits me....

Good call. Saved me a ton of money. I couldn't stop thinking about this jacket but then again, it was too fancy for me. And too military.

I am actually considering a B3 or ANJ 4 from LW, it would be fun to test them out in really low temps :)

I have had the pics of @Bfd70 and @dubpynchon in mind since that other thread, was it a month ago?

I bought Bfd70's LW ANJ4 last year and is too hot for me in Canadian Winters. Temps can hit -30 C in Jan and Feb and the ANJ4 is hot and bulky and impractical in my opinion, which is why I sold it. I guess if you're standing idle in cold temps for hours it would be great but for regular use I would pass on it. The jacket wears you not the other way around.

It is still too hot at -30c? Wow! I never expected that. Thanks for letting me know

Edit: I was comfortable at -10c to -20c in Montreal with a polar sweater under a normal leather jacket. So that means that this will be definetly too hot.

Thanks @Monitor I wished someone else was faster....couldn't stop thinking of it, too. At least I'm prepared now for a really cold Winter...after C-19 my family and I need to spend holidays in the Alps during Winter :) Yes, it's military look for sure but on the other hand "false Shearling" jackets made by Zara & Co. are very popular right now...of course these ones are less bulky and 20-year old will still recognize the difference (Old man jacket vs. modern Zara jacket ;)) Anyway, I hope it fits well and that I will have an opportunity to wear it.
