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

I've got this cross zip incoming.

Bought on a whim off eBay of course. It's a fashion jacket which I could say more about in due course, but for now I'm intrigued as it looks like decent leather from the seller photos. Of which this is one.

the leather looks very springy and soft from the way the sleeves and lapels vertically drapes while resting on a hanger and sleeve creases don't get set in on it. probably it would drape when worn and look effortless perhaps.

Got this Harley Davidson patched cafe style jacket yesterday, beautiful leather very much like my Schott Naked cowhide in weight and feel. Too small for me so it’s a catch and release. It measures like a 46-48 But man I like this one.

**Update: While this jacket does not have any tags to confirm, after searching I can say with some high confidence this is a Walter Dyer. If not his, a perfect copy complete with that Dyer quality leather. I guess that is why the leather is so good on this one.

I also snagged the matching 13 button front wool crackerjacks.

I’ve wanted a pair of these^ for ever. The newer versions are a rigid gabardine, while these older ones are melton?….certainly a thicker wool. Not sure I’ll ever wear them but for $18 I figured why not.
They don’t appear in my size too often.

I'm waiting for wabash vest and fatigue pants, both are cheap version even from local standard, the vest would need some modification to replace its plastic buttons with jeans buttons, the pants hopefully would have a more straight legged fatigue pants look than my recent sashiko fatigue that turned slimfit post wash.
