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

This is in the mail right now.....if it didn’t have the Hercules label I’d swear it was a Windward. Never seen this before.

Congratulations on this Hercules. I was very interested in this one, hope you do some more pics when you get it. I have never seen a Hercules labeled jacket in this style. It does have the Windward look.

Thanks Terry, it should be here tmw. I'm willing to bet it's the same maker, I'll post pics....
Would not be the first time Sears and Mont. Wards came out with the exact same thing just their own label! A lot of things back then were just about interchangeable.

Went a little crazy (more money than brains situation) and ended up with 2 new flat head jackets. Seems like not many people on here are huge fans of the flat head but I’ve been day dreaming about their leather for a while now. Got myself a Delraiser from self edge for riding and the flat head version of the same jacket. The flat head version has a few differences such as epaulets, waist adjustment buckles and overall better construction (better stitching and better placement of hand opening zippers). Delraiser has much grainier leather and generally looks better in my opinion. I’ve been drooling over this jacket for a while and just decided to throw caution to the wind and splurge. Now to break them in.

Pics when you get it please! :)

Edit: I don't think that they are not popular here, but their fit is quite difficult to get "right". I would definitely have bought a Flathead a long time ago if I could get one that fit my body type.

^ This. The shoulders are very, very wide in relationship to the chest. I like TFH jackets, but they do not fit me.

+1 on The Flat Head.
I think I am just a little outside of their size range but I’ve liked what I’ve seen from them. Can’t wait to see pictures of your jackets!
