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

I received this old leather hat. Thought it might be interesting as it’s leather adjacent. It has a punk AF lining with Indian sketches. Barely fits

Sears Hercules coming. Anyone know the year? The main zip is a ykk so not original.

Nice! Patina king right there. California Sportswear made. Can’t give you an exact date but it’s between 1950-1955.

I don’t usually go for jackets with knits, but this California Sportswear jacket came today. Fits great, in top condition, and a nice lightweight jacket.

Thanks to @jchance for flagging this one up.

Great condition Cossack goatskin from Californian, wish it was 1 size smaller

The P2P is 23.5 which might be too wide for me. If so and someone here is interested it might be available.

I wanted that jacket too. I just can't buy jackets that don't fit me. I've not seen another Californian like this for Sears or anyone else.

It was probably produce early in the 50s, perhaps the first use of this CSC tag. The jacket looks like a throwback to earlier jackets. The button cuffs especially. I'm curious if these cuffs roll up. I will look see if it is in the Sears catalog.

This is the closets jacket I found. 1953 Sears catalog. Your jacket may be this one without the knits. Note: not all Sears jackets were in the catalog.

The pocket design also stands out. A very interesting, unique jacket. Just stands out to me.

Another unique CSC jacket! I continue to be amazed at the variety of styles CSC made. I've never seen one like this. This too, brings back the 30s into the 50s. Amazing! There is another odd CSC on ebay now with a button front. Appears to be a lighter leather too.

Sportclad arrived. Deco Talon zip dated March 1941. Remarkable condition for an 80+ year old capeskin jacket. Has the name of a (supposedly) Japanese American soldier inscribed on the label as well as on a separate piece of cloth that was sewed onto the label. This jacket is supposed to be featured or will be featured in one of the lightning magazines, I didn’t quite understand, but I’ll be on the lookout.

This fabulous Swedish 60’s workwear jacket just arrived. Proxied for a forum member. When I measured it upon arrival it turned out to be too small for him.

P2P 60 cm
Hem 58 cm
Sleeves 65 cm
Shoulders 47 cm

This could be a good fit for someone that’s a 42 or 44 I think. I’ll send it back on Monday but if anyone else here wants it before then, send me a DM.

Beautiful slightly stiff goat leather on this. Very good condition, stitching, leather and lining. DM for details.

I am now starting to realize this. This type of provenance really turns a piece into something more than just a jacket, specially for a guy like him with his story. Wow, just wow!!

You've got yourself a cultural artifact there, jeo. Forget about all the cool jackets we've seen daily. This one here is INDEED one hell of a jacket.

I'll be very disappointed if we don't get at least one space shuttle out of jeo while he's wearing the jacket.
