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

[ton312]

Looks great! What is it?

Quite literally a “mall jacket”...but enhanced, like with that serum Logan shot up to power through. I’ll post in the jacket o’ the day thread when I have it.
I’m actually a bit giddy about it. It’s not as special as 99.999% of the stuff we see around here but...it is to me! I’m not kidding when I say I have scoured the net for this in my size since 05/2019.

I actually really like it @ton312 , I have been planning something like that with 5Star, probably in deerskin.

I’ll post lots of pics for you to work off. It’s the epitome of a simple jacket, and the cut and tailoring do all the work.

This one should arrive tomorrow as I already paid custom duties yesterday. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping the fit is good after triple checking the measurements with different Japanese websites and photography of fit/size on staff of those stores.

This is massively cool!

 

[red devil]

This is massively cool!

Agreed!

Agreed!

Thank you both!

It is here. I think I could have gotten away with the size 38 at the time I saw it but this one is a comfortable fit and I don’t find myself restricted as with the Himel Intrepid.

The jacket can be buttoned all the way down and I can layer a waistcoat, wear a thick shirt or knitwear if I want to. The deerskin drapes in a wonderful way.

This will have to do I guess since a size 38 is unlikely to appear any time soon. Maybe I’m too used to feeling restricted that this one feels weird, too comfortable in a way(not a bad thing)

The measurements match the ones the seller listed so that's good. It has a tiny puncture in the left sleeve which I think was repaired with some kind of glue but doesn't bother me much.

I think it looks great. Very cool! A snugger fit would make this jacket look too feminine imo.

Yes, it's a bit risky with certain jackets to go too slim. I used these pictures and the measurements to get an idea of fit. Some of the Japanese stores put the Height/Weight/Size of the jacket on their Staff. This way one can imagine how it would fit them. I think this is a brilliant way to display the garments and help people purchase online.

I'm 179cm and 76-77Kg with a 38 chest so I was afraid with the 38 I would look like a sausage and be too short for me to be honest and why I didn't buy it when I had the chance.

Second guessing fit on garments I buy is my worse vice. I do it even after a long time wearing them, I obsess over everything

I think the 38 might have been too small, although it is difficult to say... I would be very happy with the jacket fittingthe way it does for you here

It looks good, it might feel roomy but it doesn't look too big.
That's how the Peacoat fits me too, it's a nice change from the second skin feel that can be had from a tighter fit.

Very cool @willyto

I think any question about the fit is settled by looking at your shot from the back. Hangs perfectly.

It looks (much) better on you than on the staff member.

Well, Captain, I got the Lesco and immediately loved its look. Put it on and almost everything was fine, but tight in the armholes. Moved my arms around and immediately popped the outside threads around the front of one of the armholes! So where do damaged leather jackets go to die? Is it even worth donating? I'm on a losing streak with these online purchases! Too bad because I adored the look of this jacket.

I have one of these. Mine did appear to have distressing but I thought it had been added by a bored leather jacket owner (who knew there might be such a thing?). Anyway, this is now my cycling jacket, I don't really go cycling, but if I did this is the jacket I would wear. I washed out a lot of the top dye/finish using Carlos840's patented technique, it took several runs and the stitching disintegrated around the collar so take care with such folly.

And on that day your leather jackets wept. For they will merely support hangers from this day forward. Welcome aboard!

Haha. Just a few vintage Levi’s for me. Not sliding down the rabbit hole of denim. I already have enough jackets and boots to survive the apocalypse. I still have one leather jacket in the works as we speak. Finalizing details

 

[MrProper]

Order details fixed: Aero Sheene from unfinished Horsehide.

 

[Monitor]

So another pair of boots, two leather jackets and a leather vest. Which means I'll have 11 pairs of exactly the same looking boots, five exactly the same jackets and... One leather vest. Thanks David Lynch, buddy, for deciding instead of me what I'll look like for the rest of my life. I really appreciate it.

You are committed. The course is set. Onward!

This Californian Calfskin is coming in. Looks to be the same fine leather used on a Sears Topline jacket I own. The most unique leather I have found on a vintage leather jacket.

I have the same jacket in Goatskin x2. A very popular style for California Sportswear, c.1940

 

[Imuricecreamman]

Got this old Schott on the way. Loved this one since I saw Terrys video with the crazy fur collar. This one is really ratty so it will fit right in

My Thedi Mr French Cancan hunter jacket has just been delivered. I love it, my gf hates it. It's a keeper
