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

Man I thought I was getting two HB’s today. Post office looks to be thinking otherwise. But hey, I’m still smiling.

So this great d pocket racer came in from @AeroFan_07 today. Incredible leather - heavy, pliable, interesting grain but with a smooth almost waxy hand feel.

Surely a better fit for me than it was for him, but still felt a bit off. Longer in the sleeves and wider in the hem than I’d like for the length. Moving it on to another member but did take a few pics to share (with good angles to help), it’s really a cool piece.

Man, that is a good looking jacket!
I would’ve been very happy with that fit, but I see what you mean about the hem and the sleeves. Kudos to you for realizing right away that it wasn’t the one and moving it on.

Too bad, I think the jacket is very becoming to you as it is. But there is nothing you can do. If it does not fit personally, then it just does not fit.

Here is the finished article with one of the mouton collars on display - just arrived today - a really beautiful work of art imo !

@Salmosalar Congrats - another piece of art from Thedi. Fit pics? Looks quite similar to the LW Roadhouse but IMO the Thedi version looks much nicer, especially with the nice shearling collar. Maybe I should contact Thedi after selling my LW Roadhouse....

Not a jacket, but a pair of jeans. I am joining the Iron Heart army. I finally gave into the curiosity of IH. I really had a hard time talking myself into a 350-dollar pair of jeans. But technically it is a pair of safety gear for the m/c, right? Plus, they have a motorcycle on their leather patch, lol.

Ordered them from Self Edge with their Black Friday discount. I have never dealt with this shop, but I always hear good things from the Cali guys here. Hope they fit. Getting them hemmed to 30 inch inseam so they are non-returnable.

IH is about $70-90 less if you purchase from Japan. By the way I am plenty happy with my unbranded jeans.

Thanks DoubleH. I have never ordered from Japan. I would be a little hesitant. Self edge has 15% off. IH 634s plus hemming was $312 out the door. A pretty hefty price, but I just have to try them.

I haven't tried Unbranded yet, but I am pleased with my Brave Star selvedge. It looks like they made the back pocket much longer on the new BS jeans.

Hercules somehow arrived today. Has a busted back seam and smells like it’s been stored underwater. Pretty shitty. Will be boxed and returned to the seller tomorrow OVERNIGHT. Back to the drawing board.

Dang man, that really sucks. Sorry to hear that - Send 'er back.
