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

Here's my new LW Leathertogs made of 4.5oz HH and equipped with all Crown zippers and red wine constrast lining. I'm more than happy with the overall construction, stitching ("laser stitching" as usual), etc. It took just 6 days (incl. weekend) to arrive. Communication with Stu was straight forward and easy as usual. I'm afraid, I don't have enough time at the moment for making a detailed review but most of you know this jacket very well from reviews by @Carlos840 or @red devil Fit-wise, I think it fits me well.

This is the best LW cross zip by far. It’s not even debatable. You could not have done better. That’s a spot on fit! The hide looks insanely thick. It’s going to take some work to crease those sleeves!

Found this Prince Heinrich suede hat buried in some goodwill kinda store, $2. I put it on just to laugh, hadn't taken it off for the rest of the day. This is my final form now. @navetsea , you were right. And no, I'm not taking my business to the hats sub-forum.

That’s a cool hat Monitor. When I was growing up my dad had a series of blue Greek fisherman hats that he wore almost all the time.

Hey guys! First of all many thanks for your positive feedback. After @Monitor 's and @Carlos840 's stories about recent fit and quality issues I was kind of nervous and now I'm more than happy with the result! To answer @Will Zach 's question - I do have a matching jacket now for my new Clinch Jodhpur horsebutt boots ;) @jacketjunkie What about the olive green LW Bedford (still unworn)? ;) Here are more fit pictures of the LW Leathertogs and the Clinch Jodhpur (these are so stiff and heavy...best boots I've owned so far). Stu told me that he only has a couple of Crown zippers left - very massive and totally different from the one I have on my other two LW jackets.

Cool.
Next time try the semi veg tanned heavy goat (1.2mm). I think that's 5 * specialty.

Regarding the measurements ... it is best to point out to Shawn in every email that the observance of the measurements is very important. Even at the risk of annoying. Otherwise there is a risk that the dimensions will be seen as recommendations rather than specifications.
It is also helpful to specify exactly how to measure. So e.g. Jacket flat, seam to seam etc.
If you keep this in mind, you get a very good price/performance ratio at 5 *.

What color do they offer for the heavy goat? Thinking of getting a trucker from them? Thanks

It looks spectacular and considering how much I dislike that lousy company, you can imagine that I really mean it. Tho with these boots, I'd go Japanese all the way. I'm thinking FourSpeed or Fine Creek.

I think they have black, seal and russet.
The seal ist very dark, almost black (my preferred color), the russet is more chocolate. View attachment 260224 View attachment 260225

I just asked Shawn for all the samples of heavy goat they have with an eye towards a Cossack. I saw a light yellow jacket in heavy goat on their website, as well as distressed heavy goat in russet. Not sure if they stock those hides, but will report when I get the samples.
