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

[red devil]

Great color. I need a gray jacket.

You certainly do, in different shades

I am thinking about ordering an Aero Hooch Hauler with the following configuration:

* Black Goatskin
* Sunset Red Quilted Rayon
* Universal nickel zipper
* Looped ball and chain

Good looking jacket, appears to have very little wear.

I was working with Constantine on a gray Shinki-of-some-kind-he-could-source-that-was-supposed- to-be-awesome J-82. When he was at Vanson. I ended up with another order with Stuart instead. That LT B beckoned.

I’ll find a nice used gray jacket someday. Lately I’ve been more into denim or canvas jackets and them awesome vests. Too many vests. Always with a vest, all year, even under most of my jackets.

Psyched this is coming. Thanks to TFLer OTH.

Shame he left, he was great!

The LT is amazing, still my favourite jacket on the bike. BTW, did you ever get a deer jacket from LW?

Amazing!!

The B is amazing on the bike. Absolute protection from cold air flowing into the jacket.

No deerskin. I think that at that point I shifted over to vintage stuff for a bit. Found my keepers and have a few to still find in my size, condition, price but now I’m pretty much off vintage jackets too. Back to more functional contemporary stuff. But not new. I may be done with new leathers for now. Chasing down deals on repros & Vanson.

Picked up a Lost Worlds Ryder from the classifieds. Incredibly excited for it!

This just arrived. Sleeves are short but this is a superb jacket.

It’s officially a problem.

Fidelity came. Really impressed with the horsehide and construction quality for the age. Not sure if DR will ever be my style but I thought this one was really cool.

If anyone has more info on the era going off the tag/waldes zipper I'd love to learn more.

If you decide DR is not your style and if it’s a size 44, I’m your huckleberry

 

[cbez]

It's probably something like a 38T

Wow great jacket

 

[cbez]

It must be out of a collection or something. Only some mild teacore similar to my jackets that are only 10-20 years old. No cracking anywhere. Every zipper works smoothly. One snap needs to be fixed on the lapel. The torso lining has some more wear but still very wearable.

Sweet. More pictures would be cool.

Fidelity Sportswear LinkedIn page has a general history.

Nice! I was also looking at this one. Ended up going for a couple others.

Can you post close ups of all the zippers (stops and pulls) and better shot of the lining?

I’m thinking it’s either late 40’s or early 50’s based on what I can see.

Lining is quilted and padded in the body, then like a black synthetic in the sleeves.
