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

[Wolfevintage]

I have a shearling topped dress coat, with four similar ones on the way, as I am attached to the look! Worst part, I probably have a coat or jacket for every occasion...twice!

Roughwear Clothing 2 way pocket. Here it is with the Hercules label and lighter lining with an Aviator collar. I wanted that jacket, you did well even with the stitches. The lining is probably an order for that retailer

My jacket has a Talon sunrise zipper. The jacket is sold. I would guess 1941. The jacket was sold before I knew of the date code.

Your jacket appears to have a changed the zipper. The pull that is pictured is a 50s. I can't really see the zipper stitches. An original zipper could have been several configurations. The gather sides indicate a war time shortage c.1943 in contrast to mine with the metal parts, probably pre-war.

I forgot to download the pictures of your jacket and stunned to realize it was not an Aviator, but a straight zip. Your jacket goes back to the simpler front design of the pre-war jackets.

These 2 way pocket jackets were a staple in the Roughwear line being produced with Windward, labels, Admiral Byrd labels, and Hercules labels from the late 30s through the later 40s.

Then the Variation as @jeo pictured above. That jacket style is patented and produced during the same time also with a Roughwear label.

Pretty much a run down on the popular Roughwear style jacket. The early model came in brown, suede, some tweaks. The 40s jacket I have only seen in this Brown color.

Thank you!

The East West is a week late tomorrow and probably a couple of days away. I do have two others that should be arriving on Tuesday, hopefully three in a Day.

Got to mail one to Canada tomorrow. A fellow came from the past just as I was doing an inventory. Got one I don't wear.

Great color. I need a gray jacket.

You certainly do, in different shades

I am thinking about ordering an Aero Hooch Hauler with the following configuration:

* Black Goatskin
* Sunset Red Quilted Rayon
* Universal nickel zipper
* Looped ball and chain

Good looking jacket, appears to have very little wear.

I was working with Constantine on a gray Shinki-of-some-kind-he-could-source-that-was-supposed- to-be-awesome J-82. When he was at Vanson. I ended up with another order with Stuart instead. That LT B beckoned.

I’ll find a nice used gray jacket someday. Lately I’ve been more into denim or canvas jackets and them awesome vests. Too many vests. Always with a vest, all year, even under most of my jackets.

Psyched this is coming. Thanks to TFLer OTH.

Shame he left, he was great!

The LT is amazing, still my favourite jacket on the bike. BTW, did you ever get a deer jacket from LW?

Amazing!!

The B is amazing on the bike. Absolute protection from cold air flowing into the jacket.

No deerskin. I think that at that point I shifted over to vintage stuff for a bit. Found my keepers and have a few to still find in my size, condition, price but now I’m pretty much off vintage jackets too. Back to more functional contemporary stuff. But not new. I may be done with new leathers for now. Chasing down deals on repros & Vanson.

Picked up a Lost Worlds Ryder from the classifieds. Incredibly excited for it!

 

[AeroLover]

This just arrived. Sleeves are short but this is a superb jacket.

It’s officially a problem.

Fidelity came. Really impressed with the horsehide and construction quality for the age. Not sure if DR will ever be my style but I thought this one was really cool.

If anyone has more info on the era going off the tag/waldes zipper I'd love to learn more.

If you decide DR is not your style and if it’s a size 44, I’m your huckleberry

 

[cbez]

It's probably something like a 38T
