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

Long lambskin trash car coat. It’s a great cut. Would make for a really nice repro in anything but this God forsaken condom leather.

Looks like some Beverly Hills house wife summer balayage type ****. Heavy cowhide with 1.5” more collar though…

That would be really impressive in a mid-weight hide. Which makers stock a similar shade?

Just received this beautiful JL from @BassandB3! Superb jacket. I can’t believe nobody snagged it before I did.

Very soft Horween, great easy wearing pattern. JL has the type 3 locked in.

Nice! That is a great fit. Enjoy!

I know I have asked before, but will this jacket fasten closed on you ?

I had a wonderful Kangaroo leather "Levi jacket" , made in Australia, gloss black, but no way that was fastening THEN

Fitted my younger (and slimmer) brother who got it as a donation maybe 12 years back, no photos sorry.

PS your jeans would get snagged in the front sprocket of my treadly, just sayin...

Oh yes I can easily close this jacket. I don’t really anticipate ever really doing so but the pattern allows for a slim but very mobile and comfortable fit.
Probably one of the best fitting jackets I’ve owned tbh.

That's JL for you

Just received this Flat Head Delraiser in amazing condition from @Ron86. My first time buying from a FL member and it was a good experience. Great seller. Thanks so much. I am really happy with the jacket - both the leather and the lining. Fitted but so comfortable.

unlabeled Star Glove horse CHP on the way: Talon #10 main zipper (likely a replacement), Crown sleeve zippers, 40s-50s diamond pull pocket zippers, 40s United Carr snaps, no mouton inside the cuffs, double stitching at cuffs, belt loop straps from bottom over top.

Bought a field leathers sample jacket off Greg’s instagrams and wow…

I always wanted a rough out jacket and wasn’t too sure how different it would feel from suede, but it’s night and day

The coat is beautiful and more importantly, so far this is the only one I have seen while just this year, I have seen about a hundred and fifty eight incredibly rare and valuable Buco jackets.

Plus it fits you great.

Yep.

I saw this old meme that was posted on TFL about 15 years ago. I thought it’s appropriate for this thread.

The party is coming to an end, so hitting up the honey hole gold mine money sink Japan used market one last time. Since it's my last hurrah I figured I'd go out with a bang:

It's a rare day when three jackets show up at your residence on the same day, and it's 94F (34.4C) outside to boot. No way I'm wearing any of these for a while. Actually the Langlitz in the center was out to them to get a new main zipper and some repairs. The two others are the Apparel Annex (Brown on Left) and a Branded Orchard M/C (Black on Right). The Apparel Annex is off to a professional leather cleaner, going to give that route a try, it had a bit of funk and just needed a good cleaning. The Branded needs nothing and is simply immaculate, with some very nice leather and a great pattern. Overall pleased with the fit of all three, but the Langlitz may be up in the classified soon, if anyone is seeking a "daily driver' that would be good on a bike.

Apparel Annex more detailed shots (before professional cleaning). Appears the leather is nice but does need some TLC.

I'll be posting the brown Apparel Annex up for sale tomorrow, if anyone is interested.
I was machine washed on gentle cycle (Cold) 2X and hung up for 2-days to dry. Conditioned twice, it's a nice vintage piece now.

Just received a used 2022-production Rainbow Country G-1 in size 38 from Mercari. The goatskin's got a nice almost-black dark seal brown color and it doesn't have excessive squeak like my Buzz Rickson's M422 Monarch repro. Fit's nice n' snug for slender frame with a trim waist; while this ain't a sweater-ready jacket, the sleeve and body length is great for my 170 cm body (would not size up). The sleeves don't tunnel much and I'm not getting that issue where the front drop sticks out prominently while the waistband knit rides up your seat. I'd daresay this is my favorite trim G-1 style after experiencing Aeros, Buzzes, and a Johnson over the past few years. (By comparison, the Buzz M422 Monarch of the same size I have has a looser midsection fit plus fairly long sleeves and length)

Received this leather shirt jacket. Trying to decide if I want to go all in on a Y’2. I like the style but I’ve decided black is not the color I want.

 

[essay5111]

I tracked down a jacket I've been wanting - the M-65 from Iron heart. A form member had it for sale! Now I am just hoping it's a great size on me.

I'm still thinking about an N-1, and if so, which one. I like Dehen, and have others in their range. Tha'ts a lot of moula for a jacket, though.

 

[technicolor yawn]

After weeks of hemming and hawing, I finally decided to order a Schott P613S in burgundy. It'll be my first real leather jacket, and I'm excited to break it in on my regular motorcycle commutes. It'll be here Wednesday!

Rivets on the yoke are a nice touch
