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

Received size L, one collar is bigger than other, can't sell it for higher price.
If anyone wants it I will sell it for price I bought which is $350.
Otherwise I will return it.
Just to be clear, and I mean no disrespect here but...
You're offering the jacket for $350, what you paid at retail, because it has a known defect? Am I reading that right?

One collar bigger than other is not considering as defect, same apply to one panel is larger than other panel, etc.
If you believe that is defect, then all my Vanson I returned is faulty product.
I was a diver HD...the deep end is the only end I know
Sure, I get it and that's why I am trying to clarify so I understand the context here. For me, mismatched leather panels is a bit different than obvious construction issues like one collar being larger than the other. To me, that's a defect (i.e. flaw in construction where outcome not as designed due to error). You may want perfect uniformity across all panels of your leather jacket. I may prefer scars, grains, and other unique elements across panels. But we'd both agree it's reasonable to expect the sleeves, sides of collars, etc. length of coat on both side - be the same length. If not - defect.
Or are you saying that the collars are probably close enough that most people wouldn't care and you only notice because exact matching is important to you.
Just don't want to scare off potential buyers because they think something is bad enough with the jacket that you wouldn't keep it but others may find it worthy.

Yeah dude, ridiculous! Even 21oz jeans are like having Robocop's own legs.

Not "new" to me but it feels new, because my vintage Lawrence cross-zip just returned from Johnson Leathers.
JL created a replacement horsehide belt with leather that is a real close match to the horsehide in the jacket body. Added a new vintage-style belt buckle that I bought off eBay (the crappy original cardboard-like belt was missing its buckle). The shape of the new buckle nicely complements the decorative studs on the epaulettes.
JL created a snap-on mouton collar in gray, which turned out fabulous. The mouton doesn't have a thick pile, but I don't think it's necessary on this jacket. As Alan says, it's refined without the "collar brace" look. I think the color looks great.
The stitching repairs to the coin pocket are flawless. Couldn't be happier with how this jacket turned out. It feels complete now and the additions are so well-executed, they feel original to the jacket, which is exactly what I was seeking.

Superb is the word. I don’t believe the job could have turned out better. Love this jacket.

Home run my brother, home run. Looks perfect!
Amazing! I just got my own excelled HH motorcycle back from Alan too, minimal repair unlike yours, but your template is a far more interesting & rare specimen to begin with

I have to give you credit for giving me the idea for the mouton collar. As you can see, it turned out great!
I’d say it’s better than great. Really impressive. The Lawrence cross zip in my size is a grail item. One of the first cross zips I ever really wanted. The pattern is just so good. Yours looks like it just left the showroom floor. Magnificent!
That’s the coolest jacket I’ve seen on you. What a score! Well done.
