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

[nick123]

Going through ebay and etsy looking for something cheap; gift to myself with dough left over from buying gifts. Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm still waiting on my Bootracer to arrive. But late night Christmas Eve drinking has turned one expected jacket into two...
Hopefully both arrive next week.

eBay and alcohol are a dangerous mix!

What??? What's the second one?

Variably articulated jacket -3

Late night drinking....seeing double?

Been there!

Funny, when I get drunk late in the night, I'm always super content with whatever jacket I'm having at the moment. I'm like "man, I don't need another jacket ever again in my life...".

I should drink more.

 

[ton312]

Wish I could say it he same. For me drinking and poor decisions go hand in hand. I should drink less. But. No.

I just bought an ELMC horsehide G-1 in size 46 off eBay today. I missed my opportunity when this jacket first came out last year so I told myself that if I got another chance at this one in my size I would not hesitate. The jacket should be here next week.

I have developed a strong desire for an ELC Irvin, I'm sure there'll be one in the near future and a trip to the showroom to boot.

@JMax and @Edward if you're interested in vests, Pancho and Lefty have a good selection in stock. They're not cheap, though.

I particularly like this one by North No Name. It doesn't come in my size, though.

 

[JMax]

I like the same one, and the lone size will not fit. Dodged a bullet there, that vest is sweet. I do not know whether to thank you or curse you for adding such an expensive leather option to my “be on the lookout” list.

I will thank you. Very cool vest.

Like many others on this site, I am awaiting delivery of an Aero Bronco W535AC29191 Type A-2 in russet jerky horsehide. Carrie at Thurston Brothers has been nothing short of fabulous!

 

[powersci]

I ordered an Aero Redskin D-1 6 weeks ago. Carrie said it's already here and on its way to my house. Let the window watching begin!

Snagged what looks like a nice Vintage Gold Label Brown Brooks Cafe Racer last night on ebay. I’ve been after one of these in good condition for a while so looking forward to this one.

I just ordered an sm wholesale A-2 in seal steer hide. It should be here by early February.

Just got a "new" jacket by way of Fiebings Pro Black Dye, and Fiebings Resolene. Started out with a cheap brown Gap Trucker. Thought I would play around with trying to learn how to dye a jacket. Long gruesome process, but had fun. Sorry if thread is too picture heavy and drawn out, but someone asked for pics, so here goes.
Cheap brown Gap

Dyed it panel by panel

Soaked it up like a sponge, ran out of dye

Bought some more dye, and finished first coat. Let it cure overnight in front of my heater, then added a second coat.

Let that cure overnight then hit with a coat of Resolene. Also ran out of that and had to wait for another delivery. Hit it with a second coat of Resolene, and it dried pretty quickly.

Took some fit pics wearing a white tee shirt, no leeching of color

Picked up a brown goatskin "RRL Quinn jacket"(looks like an Ike jacket).

Still felt a little damp so I am curing it in front of my heater some more. Pretty shiny. Don't know how this will wear as far as leaching and building patina, but it is still showing nice grain in the cow hide.

I was about to pull the trigger on an Eastman Hartmann leather jacket with sleeves creases, beautiful brown colour, my size, right price and I had to wait befor I could use my credit card to be charged first of January...it didn't last that long. Almost coming to me!

What was that used Eastman going for, if you don't mind me asking?

In the days when I used to get drunk late at night I was always super content with everything in my life - jackets included. That's why booze is so seductive. Everything seems better, women become more beautiful, other people become more interesting and all is right in the world. Oh, the trouble you can get into...

I havent bought anything new but I did buy back my old lost worlds bedford. It might even be to big now but I missed that jacket. Lol dont ever ebay and drink.

@jonesy86 Holy something, that turned out excellent!! How did you get it to be so shiny?? You should repost this in a separate thread. I'm definitely doing this now!
