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

Where's the green Thedi?!?oh yeah!!
Haven't really been buying clothing last few months due to 4 & 2 wheeled projects.
I need a black MA-1 for work as Military colours are against dress code, might look at a Rothco then & the Cockpit in sage when times aren't so lean
just received an email from SJC that new shirts are available...damnCare to share the details?Actually now have another crazy jacket coming as well... it never ends
I am thinking it would be better to give the full details when I get it in my hands, which should be around march. We can then decide if it was a good idea
It 's a D pocket
Do you have an idea of colour and hide already?
Not really...I'm oscillating between blue shades and something in cordovan...trying to be patient and really think it through, which leads of course to over thinking it.
Midnight blue? Seems like an amazing choice for a CR

I'd get a shipping label sewn in the lining for the inevitable flip

I am very seriously considering a jacket in a very dark, black-ish green, like those old German coats I own. Something more modern, casual, highwayman-like but in that dark green. Problem with that, I haven't seen any of the makers offer a leather even remotely close to that color. I have seen some wallets and IPad cases and accessories like that in a dark green waxed Horween hide, but it seems to be rare and should be close to impossible to source.
The only alternative to that would be cordovan right now, which is a very uniquely intriguing color too, but the batches of that are so different and you never know what you're getting..
So, more colorful it is for me this year, but what exactly, I cannot tell yet.

Ah, gotcha on the dress code thing. If you do go for the Rothco, I'd be interested to hear what you think: while eventually I'd like the Cockpit or maybe even the green-lined, early version MA1 repop Buzz do, the Rothco does appeal as a 'beater'. The reviews I read about them online all sound positive - supposedly they're a bit warmer than the Alpha equivalent. Based on what I can see online, in photos at least they look like they might be just a touch more accurate than the Alpha. The Rothcos certainly seem a great deal at around £50.

I think Thedi has a green that looks great - if my old brain is working. I too love the idea. I was pretty hot on a natural, but not sure. Dark blue/dark green would be killer. Green even more so.
Thedodoros from Thedi leathers was able to get me the gray I was looking for in my cafe racer. It wouldn't hurt to talk to him about this very dark shade of green
