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

[Bonasera]

What's it made of? Asking because it looks like leather.... I know that Lewis did a vinyl model back in the 60s that was sold as "The Bomber", with a retail price markedly below their leathers. Never seen one, though, and would love to have the chance to handle one for comparison.

This is made of sheepskin.
The name "Bomber" is used to a
vinyl jacket with Bronx design in 50s at first. But in 60s, the name was used to this model which looks like lightning with belt loops according to Rin Tanaka.
Lewis leathers named jacket with a name used to other past model.
For example. "Nevada" jacket appeared on 60s catalogue, but same name jacket with different design appeared on 70s catalogue.

I have waited a long time for this, now it is finally a reality.
Hope it will be delivered soon.

Ah! Didn't know they recycled some of those names. Thanks!

Beautiful color - this must be a custom jacket from Vanson - is this an Enfield?

Thanks! It’s the 9d/Oxford, very similar to the Enfield, couple small differences.

I replied in the Johnson thread. Interesting so many duplicate this jacket, I find the pattern awkward. I think that is why it gets tweaked. It was a first in many ways and a transition from the older style of jackets. They kept it alive for several years, other styles were quickly added.

I agree with you about the Hercules pattern being a bit off. I have a GW Hercules that John made for me. He told me when I ordered it that it would not be as comfortable as the Ventura and the Arcadia he had made for me previously and he was right. The jacket fits well but it feels tight through the shoulders and awkward as you said

New Vanson day. I’m in love. View attachment 503586

Maverick in this would look great.

Suede Halfbelt. Probably about a 15% chance it’ll fit.

Both are great, but the boots are really, really beautiful!

Thank you.

Just got this LVC from @Marc mndt . Fit me well everywhere except for the sleeve length, but that can be altered. I love the shoulders on this one. Also the curved haflbelt in the back.

Also have this beautiful Monarch coming my way as well. I bought it and received the LVC yesterday. The LVC fits just right and the Monarch's color looks absolutely stunning - brown with the right amount of distress. So, I'd say yesterday was freaking awesome day for me.

Got a good price on this Golden Bear suede trucker. Hope to be able to cross the suede trucker off the list with this. We shall see.

Thanks man. This jacket is sure a decent one.

I am also curious. This is the only, and I mean only, Protech jacket that has caught my attention. Very cool find.

Agreed. Most the stuff looks like typical 80’s era run of the mill bike jackets, complete with vents, mesh, etc. this Trojan almost looks as if somebody mistakenly put a protech label in it

I got this the Few A-2 (left) back in Jan. The hh is unlike the other 3 the Few hh jackets i have. The leather on this one is so close to the shiniki. For comparison, jacket on the right is RM ANJ3A. I bought the A-2 2nd hand so have trouble confirming the hh used.

The NZ workshop (The Few) made really nice stuff. I've got a few pieces on the used market. They're quite expensive for used jackets. Still looking for a Indie jacket to go with the new movie.
