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

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.

I'm excited to see the Monarch. I have one that my be very similar. Mine came with a CSC label. Dave Shelley used it for specs for one of his jackets. He returned it with a Monarch label. Seems most Monarchs are brown.

50s Ralph Edwards suede on the way, bought for the Crown zipper that will go on the Kit Karson. Knits are still excellent. I might wear this unzipped or pass it on.

I don't have a good classic unlined denim jacket, and that needs to change.
I have a vintage Wranglers and a Saddle King but I'm not happy with the fit on either of them.

The vintage flannel lined JCP plain pockets that I bought early this year has become one of my favorite jackets, and I just found an unlined one for $25 on Ebay and snatched it up.

I don't know who made the plain pockets for JCP but the QC, the denim, and the cut are great.

This very old monarch showed up today. I believe some work was done (quite well) by Dave Sheelley, but it’s still quite strong. Very heavy leather, wears similar to some police jackets I’ve handled. The leather hang loop on it alone is crazy heavy duty.

I love this jacket. The fact that the grain doesn't match on the front panels is awesome IMO.

Did Bruce Campbell sell you that Monarch? That close up of the chest pocket looks like the Necronomicon, and it's about to unzip revealing a googly eye! I think they call that 'grain for days'.

Just bought this Johnson's for a steal off FB, hopefully it fits. Separately, the All-weather I purchased and posted about last week is in great shape, but doesn't fit me. I'll add pics tomorrow of the All-weather if anyone wants to see it nonetheless.
Selling the All- weather?

Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to insult AHP91's fantastic jacket. I just realized my comment may have come across a bit snarky. It was not intended.
