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

Walter Dyer. I believe this was never/very seldom worn!!! 7.5lbs, all Talon hardware, all pockets leather lined. Fit is probably amongst the best I’ve ever had. I’m stunned! Little collar training first but you’ll be seeing lots of this jacket.

Love the jacket. I almost pulled the trigger on that one as well. The lining looks very nice and warm. It reminds me of the Lost words emerald, green Stu used in some jackets.

It’s funny you mention LW. The jacket is very reminiscent in fit to this suburban I proxied for Mendel:

Crumby pic but you see what I mean:

Both jackets are very broad with a sharp taper. The WD more prominent. I hate posting this fit pic but ya got me. I’ll get better pics in actual light. While certainly not as nice as that “God tier” LW cow, it’s no joke in its own right.

Linear is plush and immaculate! It’s a good winter option for sure!

The jacket fits you perfectly. I am also welcome a nice wind flap when present in a jacket.

Two I might buy, depending on how high the bidding goes on it. I'm kindof torn between hoping they go for more than I want to spend, and hoping they go for low enough that I'll end up with them.

Old post I know, but this caught my eye again and cracked me up in recognition. I know all too well that sense of relief when something you know you shouldn't really buy veers out of "what I'm prepared to spend" territory.... as well as the sheepish "Well.... it just, y'know, sort of followed me home... bigger boys made me do it...." conversations when something is won by accident! (I still have a lovely bass in my office waiting creating the space for it at home when what should have been in the region of £500 came home for about a quarter of that..).

curious about the collar training, I have a very heavy Comp weight Vanson that could use some retraining. Do you wet the leather before the clamps go on.?

Second hand via ‘From Japan’ Pherrow’s Single Rider appeared on my doorstep yesterday, really nice heavy (to me!) horsehide in a jacket that works for my proportions. Paid a little less than half of the new price for something that I can’t find any real signs of usage on!
I feel I should illustrate my purchases, sadly coupled with my corporeal self.
The fits on so many here are so so spot on and I can never aspire to those given my physiology and psychology.
I believe the open jacket pics put me in the best light, especially the N1.

Also a question: the Pherrow’s jacket, could it be a little shorter? There is room at the zipper as can be seen. Just musing…

I believe you wear your jackets extremely well, and certainly not worse than most!
