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

[Motocann]

Well, my crosszip finally arrived. And I genuinely could not be more delighted. No fit pics for now because I'm in a huge rush but here's some straight out of the packaging.

It's "only" a fashion jacket but it's superb. Heavy cowhide, chunky blacked-out hardware with a two way zip, quilted lining, stripped-down fuss free look, and it's essentially brand new.

The sleeve zips seem never to have been zipped up, I can still feel the tension in the elastic holding the shoulder gussets in, next to no sleeve creasing. Astonishing.

And it fits. It really fits. I was fearful it would be a little small but it's perfect.

Happy New Year, me!

Here’s some pics of my old SuperDry jacket. It’s actually a great jacket, it’s held up very well. Insulated too! The materials aren’t the best, but the craftsmanship seems solid. After 10 years, nothing is falling apart yet.

I had a pair of jeans by SuperDry that lasted me 7 years without a single issue. Eventually, I got so bored of them I gave them to a friend who is still wearing them. I don't know if everything of theirs checks out but those jeans were worth every cent.

Yeah, some of their stuff is totally awesome. I was on a SuperDry kick for a period. I still have a couple really nice jackets and also sweaters. One of my favorite crew neck sweaters is from SuperDry. But, I never purchased any of their jeans. I think back about 5 years ago, they made much higher quality stuff. It’s sort of gone down hill since then.

Needed a jacket for layering and working on heavy equipment. Got this Reed Sportswear headed my way.

Disappointed in this one, when I saw the shipping weight was 3lbs. I had a bad feeling. Paper thin, maybe lambskin. Luckily seller offered returns. The search continues.…..

Thinner and very flimsy and mall jacket feeling.

Lol you need to go to a mall and check out their jacket offering.

This looks like thick cowhide to me. Anything but flimsy.

Yeah, I’m with Marc. That looks legit.

Guess I'm spoiled.

Definitely wouldn't take this lesco on a bike, not so of the other one

Got this Pioneer wear on the way. I’m gonna have to get a pair of bell bottoms to pair this with. Any tips on where to look @ton312

Looks great. How does this measure up compared to other 42s? Been looking at Branded on ebay but sizing information has been inconsistent between sellers.

P2p is 24
Sleeves are 27

Couldn't get shoulder or body length, but judging by the other measurements and the photos, I pulled the trigger.

I think it was the finish, or type of chrome tanning that gave it the meh feel. Back and kidney panel were thick enough front and sleeves were less than desirable

The freewheelers alpaca lined winter vest came in. Threw it on for some quick pics. Looks a little bulkier in pics from the front due to pocket shape. Fits like a dream over my jacket. Mind kinda spinning with the possibilities, I’m really impressed

I bought the last brown Schott 654 that was in stock on their US website (size small), on sale, for 400$ + taxes, which is a really fair price for a recent new Schott Jacket (about 600 € with taxes and Fedex transportation). I'm not a big fan of cafe racers, but I always wanted a brown one to complete my black Schott 141.

I thought I was through buying new jackets as i have almost no room left for them, but hey, juste one more and I'm finished, right ?
