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

[ton312]

Can’t even think about jackets thanks to the pending and certainly lasting heat wave.

I’ve turned my attention to these ($13 on average) 70’s 100% polyester polos.

Will they cost me my marriage? Jury is out. I’m rolling the dice. 5 more due next week as I really lean in to my Asperger’s.

Ooh, 100% poly in that heat?!
Cotton or Linen for me, though honestly I’m a vampire and avoid sunshine regardless.

It’s super thin. Almost transparent. Night fever.

You’ve definitely taken over the mantle. I love it.

Terry spoke highly of this jacket when it was posted. Price was very fair and numbers lined exactly up. Didn’t have to think too much when I purchased.

Very nice lightweight jacket that’s been cared for (hopefully I can keep that up) for a change of pace.

This is really great. New such jackets out of Japan and elsewhere can cost upwards of a grand; this is better.

Looks fine! Nice to have at least one vintage Suede and this is a nice one. No doubt a Windward like mine. Be gentle with it.

Gorgeous jacket. I wanted to grab it myself, but the chest was too small if I remember correctly.

Picked up this awesome Al’s CHP over the weekend. It’s super heavy at ~8 lbs. Only thing is, the arms are incredibly long and go over about half of my palms :/ I’m seriously considering getting the extra length taken off. Been looking for an awesome CHP like this for a while now.

Those sleeves are seriously long. Awesome jacket, should be well worth to fix!

Wasn’t gonna buy anything but then this Swedish goat racer from the 60’s jumped into my arms for only 80 €. Heck, if it’s that cheap it doesn’t even count as a purchase right?

Leather looks thick, could even pass for Elg skin. Great find. Has a Lewis Leathers vibe too.

No jacket but I found these tree bob brown pants flares with the tags attached in my size. I’m not holding back anymore. I think this may in fact be what my midlife crisis looks like. I keep telling my wife……
“It could be worse?”

I liked the suede jacket I got so much I saw another one with the quite similar measurements and couldn't resist it. A couple jackets go out, a couple light suede ones come in. Looks pretty old, pretty nice condition.

Yes, this Talon zipper looks old, @tmitchell59 I am sure can help in dating it...

Shanhouse of Rockford, Illinois......Zipper is c.1935. This is a very cool jacket. I have one Shanhouse jacket. The produced outerwear through the 1950s, not only leather but cloth materials too.

JL arrived. 2 mm thick, mega-heavy, white leather. Fully armoured. Quilt lined. Perfect jacket. I don't understand why is it that white leather is consistently thicker than any other. Or maybe that's just my experience. In any case, now I gotta dig out all the armour to make it wearable but with this & Vanson, honestly can't wait for cold(er) days.

I'm looking forward to more pics/fit pics of the Shanhouse. Here is another on ebay
