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

I still have this original late 40s half belt lieing around waiting to be reproduced by SB or JL. Might tackle this now that Hercules Leather Co shut down production. (My plan until a few days ago was to order a second Admiral Byrd in brown.)

I haven't seen your fit pics! HAve you posted any? :)
I posted a couple in the "What jacket are you wearing today" thread back when I first received it. As of then, I have been wearing it everyday still, wanting it to really wear in as much as possible before posting a review. But review aside, I am very happy with my jacket and I enjoy wearing it.

Just saw the pics... with such a fit no wonder you're happy! :)

Anybody familiar with Goodgal? I’ve got this one coming in, might be a project but it was cheap. Looks similar to Wards/ Hercules HH jackets of the same era. Just in time for summer.

Saw pictures and the label in one of my books about vintage jackets. Seen one or two on Etsy and from that Canada-based Ebay seller. That’s about it though. I can check again. It looks really nice. Perfect for that Chicago heat.

I see what you mean but because the fabric is so light I think you sort of pull the pocket out around that flap and shove your hands in there. Not a concern of mine since I never use hand warmer pockets, at least not to warm my hands.

Goodgal Aircomfort arrived. Fit is decent. Here’s a crappy pic. The jacket positively reeks of mothballs. Explains why the shearling is in such good shape but man. It’s pungent. I’m going to condition it this weekend. Needs a couple stitches repaired here and there but it’s a nice one. Reminds me very much of a shearling lined HWM.

Mail's slow af. My Levi's trucker's been travelling for a month now. And it's still in the void. Oh well, not in a hurry to get it, anyway. How about you guys, stuff arriving on time?

Endgame winter coat on the way from our friend with the door. Love the details on this one. Detatchable sheepskin lining, inner pocket, western front and back yokes, crazy fur collar. Mad for 99 pound. View attachment 225301 View attachment 225302
That's one of these french coats, this style even has its own name I can't quite put my finger on right now... anyhow the super wide shoulders always kept me from getting one. Let us know how it fits once it arrives!
