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

Based on recent posts by @Marc mndt, I looked stateside for 60's Schott racers and seem to have found one my size (fear not Marc, I wear 1-2 sizes smaller than you, so no competition). I am a sucker for the slanted breast pockets, and looking forward to receiving this jacket:

If it’s a 38, I’ll take it when you’re ready to “spread the love around.”

I am saving this pic. If I end-up ordering a 5 Star CR, I'd love to get them to copy a lot of this (though I also want a mandarin collar). I especially love those angled pockets.

I will be happy to send you as many pics as you wish after I receive the jacket.

It is a 40, but a vintage 40, so probably like a modern 38. I will let you know if it is a catch and release for any reason.

The German jacket is exceptional. Built like a tank. Unlike any other vintage I've handled. It's on its way to Croatia, @Monitor spotted it. I'll let him write the review.

And to think I was going back and forth, deciding over this absolute gem of a jacket for over two weeks! I can't believe nobody bought it in the mean time. Shows how little clue people have. Also, power of photos. It looked flimsy in the listing photos while on the pics you've taken, it looks like an absolute beast.

I keep track of these but this is the coolest one I've ever seen. That point back tail thing, too!

Rarely good example, as well. I wonder if it's the early HH version!

Jacket ships from 2 hrs away, travels 4.5 past it’s destination, to travel 3 hours back to city where it was supposed to be delivered.

It reminds me of how mail works here in Buffalo. All mail gets picked up and taken to a facility in Rochester, which is about 1 to 1.5 hours away. Even if that mail is going to someplace in Buffalo. I want to mail my neighbor a bday card. Goes to Rochester first.

This is why I wouldn’t ship a month old dog turd via Fed Ex. I mean my God...look what they did to Tom Hanks.

Honestly, I'd love to end up on that island. It's pretty nice plus the two natural items to sustain life are sunlight and coconut milk. Did you know that?

Read this, it's my favourite book, out of print but available online:

Apparently drinking too much coconut milk will give you mad diarreah...

I’m cool with the tasty waves and sun but no cool buzz and ribeye? No thanks, nuke the island.

@Marc mndt Congratulations on your new jackets. Your collection is quite nice and massive after such a short time. I really like the German cross zip (congrats @Monitor ) and I‘m not sure if if I saw this one or a similar one on German EBay Kleinanzeigen some time ago. Anyway, nice find. Even if I‘m not a A2 fan (as you know already), I like the patina on your A2!

Thanks. I'm not a fan of A-2s either but I just needed to cross it off my list and be done with it. I'll have my tailor sew a squadron patch onto it, make it a bit more playful. I thought you had an Eastman A2?

I can't help myself, I just keep finding nice jackets everywhere. Too nice not to buy

Edit :typo

So Bates and Taubers both originated at Buco?
I knew of the Brooks, Reed, Kehoe connection but not those.

I miss spoke, you are right I was thinking of Brooks got mixed up with Bates who jackets I prefer. I did not mean to imply Buco and Taubers were connected
