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

[Boyo]

The Bill Kelso Indy Jacket purchased recently, the fit isn’t perfect, but it’ll do. I must admit I was a bit skeptical in the past when reading all the marketing hype about the Victory HH...but it’s true this leather is really nice & it feels great, it has really defined grain. This jacket had seen a few miles before it got to me so it’s soft and fully broken in and unfortunately there isn’t that really great HH smell of a new jacket all in all an eBay success story.

I just ordered a LW 4.5+ oz FQHH Russet Brown TEST today with Brass hardware and a Brown Duck Canvas lining. Alas, it seems that Brown Duck Canvas is no longer available. Stuart was extremely helpful and quick in suggesting a lining replacement. We exchanged quite a few emails (my God is he quick in replying and resolving issues). He suggested either a Brown/Black Heavyweight pure NOS Rayon Satin or a Black Duck Canvas. I already have a LW 4.5+ oz FQHH Black Test with a Duck Canvas lining that I ordered last summer, which I use for riding my motorcycle. The Brown Test would not be used for riding. Durability and quality are my main concerns. As for the colour of the lining, I really don’t know. I usually match with the same colour tone: black with black, brown with brown. As you can see, I'm colour-matching challenged. Yes, my wife picks my ties too. Any suggestions anyone?

I really like rayon lining in a leather jacket myself. My new ELMC G-1 has a cotton/rayon blend lining and it has a bit of a silky feel while still feeling quite durable. I think a black lining would look quite sharp in your russet jacket.

I'd go with the rayon satin lining over duck canvas, for looks and comfort. I don't know about longevity of the two options, but I guess either one will last for years and years to come.

I usually go with brown lining in a black jacket for a bit of contrast. On a brown jacket, I'd try to aim for some contrast too, but black as secondary color, I don't know about that one... so if only brown and black available, I'd probably go with brown lining for a brown leather jacket.

The jacket I've been waiting for, a black Arcadia from Good Wear.

If I ever had the patience (and cash) to get a custom Good Wear it would be exactly this same jacket. Just perfect.

Which colours are available?

Which colors are available?

Brown (or Black) Heavyweight pure NOS Rayon Satin or Black Duck Canvas.

Brown (or Black) Heavyweight pure NOS Rayon Satin or Black Duck Canvas.

My suburban came with black rayon as standard and it works (even though I generally don't like mixing black and brown). I will try to post pictures later for you to see.
The rayon is very comfortable so I would recommend it as the lining over duck

That's the one that I'm waiting for, in a dark Cordovan if possible. I've got the patience (kind of) and hopefully I will have the cash when the time comes.

I have 2 LW Suburbans (Green and Black) with Black rayon. The rayon is quite thick, hence the term "super heavy". I have another LW Russet Brown Suburban with a sheepskin lining (no rayon or Duck Canvas). Thus, I'm at a loss on what to choose between the two (i.e. Brown or Black rayon), for a more "classic look", for a LW Russet Brown FQHH TEST. I'm not very good with color-matching!

To be really honest, you can't go wrong with either colour so don't worry too much about it

Any fit picture of your test would be much appreciate!

AMF Harley jacket (relabeled brooks) arrived today. It'll hold me over until the Aero is done. Spectacularly poor photos attached. It's surprisingly thick. I'll get some better shots soon.

 

[jacketjunkie]

There's quite a few jackets I am watching at ebay rn, some nice Aeros in size 38-40 popped up in the past 2 days.. hopefully I'll be able to pick up one or two of them.. other than that, I'm still hunting for a green or otherwisely exciting jacket.

What size are you after?

I am a size 40 in most jackets, 22" pit to pit is comfort, 21,5" is the tightest I have (Vanson America) and I get away with anything up to 23,5" if the jacket can be tapered at the waist (belt, side straps, etc). So with Aero, I am a 40 in their Half-Belts and a 38 in their coats.

I’ll PM you with a few options in case I can tickle your fancy.
