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

A mystery jacket I only bought because the leather looked cool and it had a nice pattern with many big pieces of leather. (well and the measurements were right)

We will see...

I have just received it and immediately opened a case...
Lining nearly torn or unattached in many places, zipper nearly broken and much too big (wrong measurements).

This piece of junk is going back. Could have been great but was not meant to be.

I'm interested in a Plainsman in Natural CXL, but want it to be beige-brown and not like the unfinished hides... Anyone know if I'm on the right track? I wish they still had the battered tan...

Got this Walnut Badalassi C2 in. It’s a size up from what I’d normally wear (40 vs 38) so it only makes sense with layers. Decided to put it up for sale instead of keeping it as a dedicated layering jacket. Still, looks much less sloppy than the 40 in comp weight I tried. The Badalassi is a little stiffer so it holds the shape better.

Also tried on a current production Enfield. Will be sending it back to get a custom halfbelt style made but thought the pics could be helpful for reference. It’s a 38 aka a size down from standard. The collar feels almost comically small but does pop up comfortably.

I’ve got a Five Star 27798 Dubow in veg tan crystal goatskin coming. My first A2.

Until recently I’ve never cared for the A2 look, but lately I’m just loving it. Tastes change I suppose, sometimes even overnight.

Already arrived french made jacket.
Was sold as XL but is rather a XXL or XXXL. :mad:

After checking in with the local tailors altering it would be too expensive for me so it will be sold again...

I saw this Brooks on Ebay the other day and was really tempted but hesitated because the sizing looked like I might have to wear it without the liner.
Well today the seller offered it to me for $50 and I took the bait.



It may prove too good to be true, but that price was worth the gamble.
The size label is missing and the seller listed it as a 30, but it measures as a 36 and I didn't see chest darts or anything that would suggest it's a woman's jacket.
Hopefully there isn't something I'm missing.

Well I just realized that the Brooks may be too short, it measures at 21" from the top of the shoulder down to the bottom.
The shortest jacket I currently have is 22" down the front.

I don't know but I contacted the seller to see if I can cancel the order.
