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

nick123 · May 31, 2019

In a complete flight jacket to moto jacket recalibration, just sold BOTH my crown jewels; Vicenza Aero and GW A-2s. There's no really walking back from that. I'd ordered a FQHH Aero board racer from the sales page but had to cancel it because I'm an idiot and didn't think it through (financially). I rarely do.

This game we play is composed of peaks and valleys. While I sit alone in this dark valley, I await the UPS man to bring a used Vanson AR cafe racer. Should provide some momentary relief. Surely when the weather starts warming up I'll wish I'd bought new boots or something. Dangerous game!

Been a long ass time since I've had a jacket on order. But I've recently re-entered the madness...

Bill Kelso Surrogate. Liberty Dark Seal. 12-18 week lead time. I barely even remembered how to order a jacket.

70’s undercover cop Brooks arrived. It’s literally brand new. I don’t think it was ever even worn once. I have to hot water work the collar a bit but I think with some training it’ll give me the look of Logan’s jacket in days of future past.

Tommer, I believe it was you who had a brown LHB years ago. Your pics were the ones that made me go ahead and order. I still have it and it's still my favorite jacket. Eight years ago?!! Nice to hear from you again.

I forgot how much I love these Brooks jackets. I’m still on the hunt for one in black or particularly gray. I’ve never seen one in gray. And if I find one of those you’ll be the first to know. I don’t wear brown leather too often, but I wanted to see if I’d like the cut. And I do!

Wow, yeah man..been a long time! And that LHB...just sold it this week! Glad to hear mine might've helped you get a jacket you love. The older I got, the heavier and more cumbersome the LHB got.. and I stopped wearing it.

Ton, I think that might be the size 44 Brooks I have been interested in for many weeks. The sleeves looked really long and I emailed the seller many times to find out their length. No answer. If I had been told the sleeves were under 27 inches I would have bought this a couple of months back. Enjoy it.

How long are the sleeves?

They are just about dead on 27”. It’s unreal man. Like literally brand new. Shit pic but you can see where the sleeves fall. Despite the length, the relative narrow diameter makes them stack nicely.

My garage sale adventures continue! Vintage Schott suede $26.

It sure is a beautiful thing, ton. You must be pleased. I'm sorry I didn't buy it now but I'm glad it went to a good guy who will appreciate it.

Time to work on those sideburns

That looks even better than I expected.

I know what you mean about the weight, but Julie Leitch so perfectly nailed the fit that I can wear it with a t-shirt and it looks like a fitted jacket, and I can also wear it with a Shetland sweater and still have complete freedom of movement. I just got back from a trip to the N.J shore where I rented a room right on the beach for two weeks. When I arrived the weather was 39' and raining but warmed up to the low 70's in the daytime, so I could wear it pretty much the entire time. It really is a perfect traveling jacket, especially with all the pockets. Again, nice to hear from you.

Yeah it's been a pretty chilly April and May up here in Jersey... definitely got some extended use out of my jackets! Mostly wore my Wested Indy, which crazy enough is probably the most comfortable leather jacket I own, not to mention the cheapest and least customized. Funny how that worked out. Best of luck with your LHB.. sounds like one of the good ones.

I'm debating on pulling the trigger on this. It is not expensive but I'm not sure I need it...

I probably missed the info somewhere, but what is this jacket please?

It was made by (dun dun dun)...H&M! Seller wanted to do business through Instagram. So I passed

Yes it seemed odd to me and the seller was in Europe, so despite the very attractive price ($90) I just didn’t feel like donating the money with no real guarantee of receiving anything more than a thank you and good day sir.

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