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

LW Trojan and Vanson Breeze (perforated CW) off eBay.

Also bought a new helmet, Bell Star. I gotta chill.

Quoting myself here but wanted to add some pics:

And the million $ question, how does it fit? :)

These are seller's pics. Seller's measurements look good for me too.

A few months back I found this jacket in a 46. It was a bit too wide at the shoulders and a tad roomy in the chest. My CHP is a 44 and the J23 a 46 with the same measurements as the CHP 44. All that to say-- Fingers crossed that the 44 is spot on, I believe it will be.

I don't have the CHP, but the Trojan does feel a bit less tight than the J23. So it's looking good :)

A bit of a weird one, but it had been on my "curiosity list" for a while and a cool one in my size just came up for a lower than usual price.
I give you, Swedish weirdness at its finest, apparently it weighs 7lbs unboxed, looking at the wrists it looks super thick:

The only LW I own is a size 44 trojan and it is large in the shoulder roomy at the chest and waist perfect sleeves.
For reference, the brown Cal Leather I got from you is a perfect fit with a light shirt.

Thanks, that helps. The brown Cal was a bit tight on me. Wearable but tight. The Trojan just might be perfect then. I recall fit pics of your Trojan, and it looked stellar.

Colin G,
i don't think you'd be disappointed.
Dave is fanatical(in a good way) about Monarchs.

Any idea what leather this is? I am assuming it is their overdye horse? That is one badass jacket.
Not sure looks like horse. Looks a lot like the langlitz columbia I sold. Gussets on langlitz were not functional. I think i would lower the back yolk I like when it lines up with the arm seams. None the less great looking jacket

This one arrived late yesterday. It's an instant favorite.

It has really thin leather but it drapes nicely. Feels sorta Brooks-ish.

The overall design strikes me as very rectangular. It has Lightning main zips and YKKs for the sleeves and pockets, so it must be a transitional piece. Something about the design of these old BCL cafe racers just says "cool."

So, now I have among the longest CRs and shortest (Vanson Comet).
