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

[Ayeteael]

As a yuge Seinfeld fan, I didnt know J Peterman was a real store until recently. I though it was just one of the show's countless brilliant creations.

Ohhh, I'm exhausted. I've been on this street a thousand times. It's never looked so strange. The faces...so cold. In the distance, a child is crying. Fatherless...a ba***rd child, perhaps. My back aches...my heart aches...but my feet (stops to look at her feet)...my feet are resilient! (a big smile grows in her face, as she thinks...) Thank God I took off my heels, and put on my... HIMALAYAN WALKING SHOES! (lifting her arms up in the air, as she says...) Yes!

Hopefully I can score an "urban sombrero" to tie the look together after I get the grizzly

Should i get a sweet leather 8 ball jacket?

All signs point to yes.

I could post all the gifs from this link, but i'll spare the non-Seinfeld fans. I lol'd hard as i recalled the episodes associated with each gif.

Jerry's description on how the suede jacket makes him feel is still the best explanation of why I'm buying all these stupid jackets.

The technicolor dreamcoat has 'em all beat lol!

Yes, this. 100%

Although I had other jackets in mind as the next order, it seems I am in the mood for longer jackets. My next Thedi is going to be a bluish peacoat. I just asked him to choose the hide he thought would work best

Got the Peterman grizzly today, pretty satisfied so far. Fits well, it’s warm, and it looks pretty cool. Nice flannel lining too. The leather could use some conditioner though.

Looks cool. How is the fit? Any idea who makes these jackets? Peterman's website only says 'imported'.

The fit is spot-on, stops a little below the hip, good sleeve length, roomy enough for a sweater underneath, but not crazy big. I was actually apprehensive about the fit because I had done some reading on Peterman sizing after I ordered and a lot of people were saying that they ran excessively large as a rule, so I must have just gotten lucky. No idea about the manufacturer, the tag says "made in India". The Italian shearling on it isn't the softest in the world either, but I don't really mind. I dig it.

Pardon the sweatpants, I’ve been working from home since last March. No way am I putting on jeans for that.

Heller's Cafe did a Grizzly just like this one with patch pockets.

It's a really cool style. I wonder why it became so obscure as time went on.

Regarding the Aero pricing method: do they force purchasers in America or anywhere else outside the Eurozone to pay VAT too?

Its hit or miss but I have paid customs on an Aero purchase in the past.

But Aero does not charge you their VAT, correct?

I just got this on the mail from the classifieds of top TFL fellow Aussie member and all-round nice guy Warren @dinomartino1 , a Chinese copy (Curphey brand) of the Freewhelers Switchyard.
Definitely a good value for money and the fit is just how I like it, slim fit but not too much so I can lightly layer for the mild South Australian winters.
I am definitely not wearing this today, just an early morning trying it on for fit purposes, as it is expected to reach 30C (86 Fahrenheit) today!
The leather smells nice, not chemical at all (it's brand new), the thickness and feel isn't far off from the Vincenzas that I own, the only real noticeable differences with premium makers are the cheaper quality materials in the lining and thread, but overall a well constructed jacket that fits quite well and the medium weight cowhide has good ageing potential and all for a 1/7 of the price of an Aero.
Good alternative when you already have a few (or too many! ) Premium jackets and you just want to try a new style.
