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

A Book full of Jackets! I bought this on yahoo Japan on December 13, 2020. It was cheap compared to ebay prices. Shipping by DHL was going to be the same as shipping a jacket! So I opted for the cheap route, 3 months later it arrives.

I think it was bargained priced because the cover is put on backward?

Just thumbed through and it has a ton of jackets I have not seen. Always something new to learn in this books.

Thanks, I thought that may be the reason. Many new interesting jackets to drool over.

I have the Lightning book that has the white cover stating something like “all vintage” jackets. Not sure if it is any different from the other white covered books. I wonder if your new book is different and merits a BIN.

I just sit there and look at the pictures, similarly to normal people and their Playboy.

Nice! Sometimes a book about jackets is in fact more satisfying than another jacket. My Rin Tanaka book came with all of this correspondence (letters and envelopes) between him and a collector tucked in the pages.

Rins books are expensive, and somewhat responsible for the explosion in pricing over the last 5-10 years. But for all of that; they still are really cool. I own almost all of them and they have such cool stuff. They are a really good resource.

This book has a lot of pictures, not the best/largest shots. Here are some pages. It is mostly Japanese.

That sounds interesting! What language is the correspondence in?

Thank you. I may have to purchase it. The white-covered Lightning book is one jacket per page. A beautiful large photo of the front of the jacket and a smaller photo of the back. Really cool. I would post pics but it’s in my storage unit. In a place I cannot reach.
