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

I thought about you when I saw this jacket. Spear Point all the way!
Do you have a fit picture of the back design? So nice!
Damn, you've been on a tough streak lately Ton...
Fortunately the seller immediately accepted the return. That jacket is straight up trash. Wouldn’t trade a Taco Bell taco for it. Smelling probably cut my lifespan by 10 years.Damn, you've been on a tough streak lately Ton...
Hopefully my cowboy coat is better!

Sorry, no good pics yet. Hopefully this weekend. Wore it today and it’s the most comfortable leather jacket I’ve had yet. It still has a beak but whatever.

You ‘muricans and your long sleeves!
Yeah but this isn’t a blazer as such. It’s an overcoat. 1” more and it’s on the money.
Regardless, a fantastic fit!
Ordered another zip sleeve highwayman today. this time black vic. Otherwise, same specs. 38 to 36 hem. Looking forward to this one. I had a dark seal vic type iii I ordered from TB years ago and sold off. Leather is in stock said should go into production next week!
Makes it number 5 for the zip sleeve highwaymans for me. Really a great style jacket imo. Doing the taper was a great call really makes it more of a standard and less boxy but not too trim fit.

Was the CXL Steerhide too thick for you or what didn't you like in the previous one? Looked badass nevertheless. Prompted me to get one as well (along with Hh121's tapered Highwayman).
Yes should have gone with a lighter weight hide. They had at the time a lighter cxl steer stock which is unusual, but I opted for thicker 4 ish oz. And if I do not really love it I move it. Keep only a couple jackets at a time.

Still waiting on my Gibson & Barnes flight jacket. I should have paid attention to the reviews.
I called yesterday, and conveniently, the guy in charge of submitting my order either quit or was fired. Three weeks after ordering on the web site, my order had still not been submitted.
The man I spoke to on the phone said they would expedite the order and probably have it out by the first of March. I'll believe that when I see it on my front porch. I'm wondering how many more times I'll have to call back before I ever see my jacket.

I need a hat like yours Terry. That’s ground on which I have zero experience!
