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

Thanks Ton. It's my driving jacket when I'm out in the MG. that big collar is a lifesaver when the wind comes over the windscreen and curls back into the cockpit. I'll do a B6 specific thread when I have time. Like SpeedRcrX mentioned, there ain't too many reviews on here.

Just picked this one up today at the Macy's in Chicago. I felt a wave of nostalgia for a denim jacket after finding this old picture of myself wearing one as a child.

I used to wear denim jackets a lot as a child, and I kind of went through a phase for several years where I found a dislike for them. So, today I went to the Macy's at the old Marshall Field's & Company building, simply because I've never been there and I wanted to treat myself as well as be able to say, as a Chicagoan, that I've shopped the Marshall Field's building and bought myself a nice new Levi's denim jacket:

Hi, I bought mine off eBay so it wasn't new but I'm pretty sure I remember reading that all the ELMC Windward are slightly time worm from factory. I think @ProteinNerd said the same about his Roadstar ELMC too, if I remember well?
The brown one looks like the best option too, if I could, I'd order it as well in that colour, such a nice jacket, my favourite at the moment.

This will be my last one for a good long while. The wife told me so, so I know it to be true. :D

I stopped in Langlitz on my way thru Portland yesterday and got myself measured and put in an order for a custom.

I went with a Timberline in med weight black cowhide with black stitching and medium fit (allowing for a t-shirt and sweatshirt) with padded shoulders and elbows, straight zipper, cossack collar, two chest pockets, a bicep pocket an interior wallet pocket, and straight yoke.

Bennie advised that the wait time is about 3 months, so this puts the due date out somewhere around mid-July. Now I just need to forget about it.

It'll be very similar to this, except for brass hardware and straight yoke.

Received an email from John informing me that my jacket had been cut out and is in the queue waiting to be sewn. Hope to have it by months end; two more weeks or 14 days.

I just picked up a vintage back denim jacket, it fit so good... But way to warm here in London town of anything other than skin... I also have a G-1 coming (yeah, I know... but its for winter).

I have an Aero B-3 in the works and an Eastman Devon fleece Irvin winging its way to me from Holland. The Irvin was a second-hand buy at a good price so that's excusable, but not so much the B-3. It means I'll have a few months to take it out of its garment bag and admire its majesty before I get a chance to wear it outdoors. Makes perfect sense to me.

I cant believe I'm still tweaking my selection!

I just took possession of my new Seal Vicenza Sheene which I love, I have a Cordovan Vicenza Work Coat due in the next few weeks and the desire to replace my recently sold Board Racer is itching pretty damn hard.

At the moment I'm thinking a 4 pocket Board Racer with slanted chest pockets and original BR collar, I'll keep the J-100 back. This should differentiate it a touch from my Black DD J-100 and Navy Aero J-100. I keep telling myself to at least wait until the Work Coat arrives before ordering.....

AND at some stage I think I'll sell and replace my premier half belt with a size up.

I'll probably sell my ELMC Roadstar, I really like it but jut never wear it.

...and this is ignoring the Good Wear that I've kind of given up on at this stage, overdue and no replies from John. I'm assuming he is still out of action due to the family tragedy.

What color/hide for the BR? The midnight Blue CXL is delicious. Black and blue and green with grey.

I've already got the Navy BR so don't need yet another blue Cafe style lol.
Definitely a brown. Most likely dark Seal Vicenza but open to CXL Steer or heaven forbid, the light weight horse in brown.

Request a cutting of the midnight. It's really not blue. It's more a forest green, black green if that makes sense. At least mine was. A color like that makes it easily justifiable as it's off the spectrum.
I really want a green jacket myself. I don't know why and I don't think I'd probably wear it often but I really want something green.
