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

[Jin431]

Check out cop shops or a place like Don Hume, sites like that. Sam Browne belt. Normally between $50-$100 but can be had for less. These are really thick duty belts. Take a bit to break in. I always seem to reach for a belt like the soft one sold by Vanson. But these have their place and are legit.

Got it. Thanks for the heads up and those belts seems like it will be good forever too.

Johnson Leathers could make you a new collar that would fit perfectly.

Yes! My straight zip button snap Cal is at JL getting the sleeves tapered and having a black mouton outfitted right now

Price was ridiculously right. May be too small though. Kurland Star Sportswear D pocket with the yellow lining. I believe @Mysteryo owns one of these jackets.

Placed my order for a Wayfarer from Aero in battered tan. Had ordered my Highwayman back in December, just there. Never thought I'd be back placing another order so quickly, really excited for this.

None for now, I'm pretty happy with my one. Ordering a Vanson Oxford in Brandy for my brother as a present, however.

Yes, I’ve got one that I love despite the strange oversized d pocket!

I’m glad you responded. I remember you mentioned that some of these were made with the bright yellow lining.

I know the story,

I just bought a jacket that was too right to pass and probably won't fit.

This Kurland certainly looks worthy of ownership!

Mine has a light grey lining quilted

I hope so. I really do. I’ve been watching another one for much more money, though I am sure it will fit. This one will be close. Figured I’d take the risk.

I really like this jacket. Everything on the one I have coming is the same except for the bright yellow lining. Though glove is spelled differently. Hmmm.

Edit: I just found a few jackets online with it spelled Glove on the label. We shall see when it arrives.

I got caught up in the Iron Heart 15% off sale and bought this beauty:

It’s an IH x Simmons Bilt collaboration in natural Italian horsehide. I’ve had my eye on this jacket for a good long while and the sale was all the excuse I needed to pull the trigger.
I also ordered some Mustang Paste that I plan to apply when I receive it to give it a little color. I love how this jacket looks raw but I don’t really fancy being a pale white man in a pale white jacket…

Albert Richards. Not sure it’ll fit but figured it was worth a shot for $200.

Perfect. Every A. R. jacket I've seen have been great.

I’m sure you seen the blog. Awesome info on the maker. TM believes they also made jackets for Sears and Wards. I bet Penney’s too.

I certainly hope it fits! Measurements were not what I would call decipherable. A mystery waiting to be solved. Hopefully it goes my way but looking at the hanger in relation to the jacket…I’m not too optimistic.

It looks to be my size

Great jacket, I love it, besides being quality built Albert Richard labels are so cool. Been watching, dealing with the seller for a bit but never could get her to upload a pic with measurements. Her measurements were pretty iffy but I was pretty sure it’d be too small for my 44 size. Guess if I was young and handsome I could’ve got the measurement. Oh well you know the story about the young bull and the old bull.
