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

Oh wow I can only imagine how that tan buffalo would look like after some time on the bike...

Freewheelers Track Walker just came in. Now to knock some of the newness out of it.

Wow! The Track Walker. I live in a Railroad Town in Illinois, Midwest. I have a double breasted sheeplined that came from the Great Northwest USA. I need to dig it out for winter use.

Your Jacket is Stunning! Breathtaking. I can imagine putting it on and knocking some of the shine off. It may take years, but well worth the effort.

Japanese brands are the only otr sizes that work for me. Otherwise I have to go custom. Good thing for Yahoo Auctions Japan where I can get these jackets second hand at great prices.

Yes, and I envy your choices. I have often thought I would go nuts/broke If I could wear the Japanese jackets you can wear. I have a couple of vintage jackets that would be superb on you but you have the greatest variety to choose from in Japan.

After a very short waiting, my first B3 has arrived...and of course it HAD to be a .50cal Concho ELMC, best B3 EVER, in my personal opnion. The things I love most are their accuracy in sizing (we exchanged 4 mails with measures and opinions), the fit of the jacket and the leather which is NOT shiny at all (a thing I hate in all the B3s, B6s, Ds I have seen). It seems an old jacket in many ways View attachment 287341

Nice! And good choice to go for the "military turned civilian biker" variant. Always thought, this was a special kind of cool!

Thank you Terry, but most of my jackets can easily be replaced and quite honestly I would trade them all for some of your vintage pieces like your Levi’s “speedway” and your small collar Californian.

That's a great looking jacket and judging by your smile you're very happy with it. Congrats!

Ralphs Pugh headed back to San Francisco Bay Peninsula were it started life over 70 years ago

... I‘m 99% sure that I keep both as both fit me well IMO.

I couldn't live with having two different size labels from the same jacket manufacturer

'Mintvintage' is selling out today

 

[handymike]

@Marc mndt if you ordered your regular size on that Schott you’ll be fine. I had one a size up because the measurements looked good, but it was too big.

I notice yours has a windflap and mine doesn't. Where those custom options back then?

If going with something not in leather... then it had to be this

Most of the one’s I’ve seen have it, but you can cut them out easily.

I hope this was a gift.
