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

[TLW '90]

I’m not sure I understand what collar flap is, lol. I actually love the collar, it lays exactly the way I clip all my collars that don’t lay this way. I’ve owned about a dozen PW jackets and I think this might be my favorite. They typically sell for sub $100 and for the money they can’t be beat!

I do plan on soaking the chest pocket flap so it goes back to flat but that’s it, a steal for $50 IMO!

Yeah I meant pocket flap, I'm not sure how I made the mistake.
That's exactly how the collar on mine sits.
You're right, PW suede is absolutely a steal.
Marc posted his and I just had to have one, went on Ebay ASAP and found one in my size for $100.
The sleeves on mine are a tad longer than they ideally could be but I feel it fits me well otherwise.
I don't wear it nearly enough, but when I do I often wear it with my PW suede vest just because double suede is fun.

I’ll for sure try and flatten but tbh that kind of thing isn’t a big deal to me. All my vintage jackets have some little idiosyncrasies. I try and fix them but at a certain point nature will always run its course and the jacket will do whatever it’s been doing long before I picked it up!

Little H2O did the trick!

Same jacket below (not mine) shows French seams on along the arms and the (ribs) sides, as seen with Edgo.

Golden Bear interpretation of vintage half belt. Looks nice, but measures large. We shall see.

I own 5 but only wear 2. I need to pare down the 3 I don't wear (all due to size) and replace them with one that actually fits.

Still have the same number of jackets I've always had, saw this one was available for purchasing and I grabbed this Monarch. The jacket looks too good

I have a used Aero Highwayman on the way. I'm looking to get a custom made Aero Windward as shorter jackets compliment my frame.
I'm also lusting to come down to Ueno and visit the stores there to try on jackets in person.

Ordered an Eastman Hartmann a few days ago. My wallet wishes itdoesn't fit me well.

Rolled the dice on this All Weather HH police jacket for a pittance. Looks to be in good shape.

Looks like someone put that in a time capsule, absolutely amazing condition. And an incredible hide too.

This old Swedish jacket is coming home to the motherland

I saw one of Terry Mitchell's YouTube videos a couple years back, and this is the jacket that started the whole journey for me. 1st edition 1948 Hercules motorcycle jacket. I paid a pretty penny for it, but it's at least worth a trial run for me.

I thought about posting this one here, then I thought about buying it. This is a nice one. The red is less often seen than the green lining. Glad you got this one. They are special.

I did receive and then ultimately return this jacket. Glad to have handled it. Very cool design, one of the best motorcycle designs. Ultimately, I couldn’t get past the fact that my kit karson that I bought for a fraction of the price felt better quality. I am excited to check out the pre war Monarch.
