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

[ojaw]

Not happening. It's not a good sight. Either I lose weight or sell them. And get a trucker jacket.

It's cool to see someone from Winnipeg here. My entire family lives in Winnipeg and are tryna get me to move there as well but I live in Europe so I'm reluctant.

I'd be reluctant to move to Winnipeg too if I wasn't already in custody here.

Kit Karson Indian Scout. Love the wool lining. Hopefully will take the place of the Guidemaster Wolf. Thanks @Marc mndt for posting this in the deals/find thread.

I just ordered this suede jacket. They listed it as 50s but there doesn’t seem to be any tag. Zipper looks like a Conmar so that may help. I’m sure I’ll be asking if anyone can place it once it arrives. But it looks pretty nice in the pictures and it was a pretty good deal!

Got a pair of Veeechanzzzas coming.

These Wool lined are the Prime Time, another great example. I'm wearing a Wool lined Sportclad as I write this.

Are vests allowed on jackets thread? I took this sleeveless Cal to wear something nice during the summers. Like all of you, I really miss leather jackets at this time of year, so I've spent a few euros to take this former jacket turned into a vest. The switch isn't a good work, the inside is a total mess (as if a drunk velociraptor would have bitten it), but eh! I want to wear it in summer, so who needs a lining...? I'm hesitant to remove what's remains, get a new full one, or leave it as is.

Impulsive buy, stumbled on this 50s Levis suede trucker jacket

It's super cool! I did this with a Schott but lost weight and it didn't fit me anymore. I'd love to have another one. I say remove the lining and wear it just as is.

Yeah! I was looking for cool examples on film, so thanks for that. So far I found similar suede jackets on Elvis, James Dean, and 21 Jump Street-era Johnny Depp!

 

[MrProper]

I actually thought I wouldn't buy a jacket for now.
And then @ton312 came along with his HH Halfbelt

Thanks, man! I know it's very worn. I don't want to imagine the sleeves condition to prefer taking 'em out. Or perhaps one of the previous owners just wanted to have a vest instead of a jacket. Who knows. In any case, now I must wait a little to receive it. Maybe by the time I get it, the weather is just over the 28ºC/82ºF, so I'll put it on instantly.

Yeah, I saw your Schott 125 jacket-into-vest topic. Very cool piece. I have never worn a leather vest, but I know it's not much a useful garment (not talking about riding, of course), but a fashion outfit just to wear over a shirt.

Getting my Phillips back from Dena. I needed additional length in the sleeves. As usual she did a spot on perfect job. Normally I wouldn’t disturb a vintage jacket this pristine, but it had to be done, and I trust her above all others.

I would have probably just asked for a whole new cuff with the lenght needed. This feels very weird to me. It's a good job but not for me as you can clearly see double cuffs.

Yeah I hear you. Honestly it doesn’t bother me and creating a whole new cuff might have been even more strange, if not impossible.

So these perfections just arrived & just wanna share some pics as they're insane but sadly too smol... But anyways, coolest piece I've seen!

I will not call it "barf worthy" because that would be unnecessarily hostile. Its definitely not my cup of tea.

Oh, it doesn't matter, I'm already selling it hard. None if this means anything to me anymore. It's just clothes and clothes really nothing ever did much for me.
