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

I’ve got this 1940s? Double breasted wool mackinaw jacket coming from eBay soon. Got it as a birthday present for myself, courtesy of my wife. Unfortunately there’s no label and the seller said the buttons look like they’ve been replaced so I have no idea about the manufacturer or date. I love these old heavy wool jackets. They’re quickly becoming my favorite. Too bad I’ve got at least five months left of warm weather before I can wear it lol

Looks great! Is Stilton a well-known brand? I've never heard of them. Also, where did you find the jacket?
I don’t think that Silton is as popular or as known as say H Bar C. Both brands produced similar western wear. Silton does not carry the same brand cache and didn’t make it out of the 70’s. I use the gem app to find most everything I buy.

I've wanted a J100 for a long, long time and one I had been eyeing was Aero's. I've just snatched this one in Aero's sale - https://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/stock/board-racer---j100--badalassi--black--44----s-7257/s-7257

I must say I'm not fully convinced by Badalassi because while I think it looks great, I'm terrified of its squeakiness and I would had rather inside pockets instead of hand warmer pockets for this one... But what I would had really not wanted is to spend over 1000GBP on a J100, so this one fits the bill.

The others I had been eyeing/considering besides Aero were Thedi, ELMC and Iron Heart, but the lowest price on those would had been 1300 GBP.

I’ve just pulled the trigger on two from Aero’s stock page - a Cheyenne in the discontinued battered HH and a Majestic in chocolate suede. I was dithering over which to go for, but I’m fully expecting price rises in the next twelve months so went for both. Hoping they’ll both be good fits.

I know it’s famous last words but… I think I’m almost done now. The only thing left on my list is a Moonshiner.
