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

On my wishlist, but probably not in the budget until 2022-23. I’d love to get an Aero Highwayman in a dark blue leather with brown shearling lining and collar. I was inspired by this Aero Highwayman made in 2017. This one in the pics is blackened brown Vicenza with brown shearling lining. I think using dark blue leather would really compliment the shearling.

Now that's a Chicago winter jacket right there.

A few pics of a 70s Schott CR I recently got for a few hundred pounds. A nice and trim fit and not broken in yet. Actually prefer shorter sleeves, so was quite lucky in that regard as well.

After a slight conditioning:

I got the same model (late 60s/early 70s) several days ago. I like it, a classic, with a little longer body than some CRs. Very comfortable, light jacket.

Yeah, the back length is almost 26". I usually prefer shorter jackets, but it isn't much of an issue.

Just came in after being held up for about a week. Finally crossed the d-pocket off the list. Gotta say, I'm friggin' loving this jacket!

@jeo Congrats! You have such a beautiful and massive collection already and I like all of them! Your J24 Looks really nice and I think it looks really good both zipped and unzipped but as you feel more comfy wearing it unzipped it’s definitely a keeper! Yes, sizing is strange with this one. I needed a size 42 in this case - usually 40.

a few of us rocking these now. They are awesome. From what I can tell, they are based on the Beck 666. The ones with the wind flap are the Schott model. The ones without are the original Beck. Schott re-released the design as the 641xx, but even that model has some variations. One has NOS talon zips and no windflap. The other has regular Schott zips with wind flap. And there's also a horse hide model.

The short sleeves (which are kind of balloony too) are cool and give it a different feel. If every jacket looked the same, what would a lot of us do with our time ;););)

Thanks man, you too!

And oh yeah, this is definitely a keeper!

Thanks man, ever since I got my perfecto a couple years ago I’ve been more open to cross zips.

Did not know you have a perfecto but those are cool, I'm not at the belted jackets phase yet but maybe I'll get there someday lol I do want to get a black Cal cross zip someday

I couldn't resist as I like my olive green deerskin too much - washed blue deerskin jacket. Shipping of the jacket not before October or November. If Thedi releases new models which I like more than below one, I would probably change my order which I've already done in the past and Theodoros is used to my "behaviour" :p

What a great fit on that! I've had a few over the years but unfortunately the sleeve length is nearly 3" too short on both a 44" and a 46". If you can fit it like that you are golden.

Thanks for sharing! I hope it fits me and that the leather and condition is nice. This one used to be a jacket for theater and film industry according to the seller.
Man oh man, it’s always good to realize that we don’t have a leather jacket problem. Btw. I also bought the vintage 70s Harro you also had on your Watch List this evening....last one, promised and needless to say I will stop looking at Vinted.de
