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

Daaaaaaaaang

Woah. That's awesome.

Thanks guys. Pretty sure it’s a 613s with about .5” shorter back, fingers crossed for the fit!

I found a Schott 619 for sale locally at a good price. It's a really cool looking jacket, I can afford it, and the measurements are right. I think I might go for it.

As nice as I have seen of this most interesting style! A great label, great condition and a possible fit. That is the whole package. Like you, I've seen plenty of pics of these combo jackets, but many are in poor condition. They seem to use capeskin, which is most fragile at this age.

These guys always look like jerks and bullies.

Regardless of it being horse or cow, it's a cool looking jacket. I always prefer shorter jackets so fingers crossed for s good fit!

Couldn't get much in the way of measurements but this guy is 160lbs so I *think* it'll fit. It looks massive on him....
No clue why I bought it, don't even wear leather at all much these days but the hide looked to good to pass.

Love the jacket. Fit pictures please....

Back to the basics, from big $$ to simple.

Yes, another leather I have been looking for, this simple Brooks vest.

I seen one other, but too small, this is a 46.

Most likely a version of the jacket Marc got in Japan. (613S pattern, instead of shrunken Schott Japan pattern, brown horsehide, repro upward zippers and buckle); however this one has 618 aesthetics instead of the One Star. Seems like an excellent jacket.

This one just shipped. I do like wool this time of year. The Naval Academy connection is very interesting. This one looks to be from the 1940s, even has a faint name.

That was my impression too! I actually reached out to @Marc mndt about the sizing on his before going for it because of their similarity.

Definitely post fit pics when you get it!

1000% will do

CHP in the box newly arrived!

I have received this LAPD. Size 36, made in supple leather.

Bi-swing back, epaulettes, made without belt loops.

All zippers working, original brass #10 Talon, and tear drop pulls.

No marks, pinholes or scratches. This is a delicious jacket, very warm for these cold days!

Natal? WD? Arrived, and it’s just too big. Probably a 46”/48”. Bummed. It’s a beauty but needs a bigger dude to fill it out. A full 8lbs of thick as balls cowhide.

Darn. Not wildly far off which I'm sure makes it more disappointing. Atilla looks cool.

Even with my thick vest, still feels a size too big. It’s a bummer. It’s insanely pretty leather. Simple design. Just too big.

If nothing else I have to get some decent pics of the hide. It’s positively monstrous!

Yeah I can see it bunching a lot in the armpit area here which is not a good sign sadly. A shame as I actually quite like the simple design.

First experience with Starglove. Much thicker and heavier than my later Cal. Closer to my Al’s in terms of weight. Really nice condition

I was waiting for you to get and post pictures. This looks incredible, much better than the pictures.

Was watching this one for a year. It was at $1200 for a long time which was way too high and the size was borderline big. When it got reduced to a little over $600 I was seriously thinking about and if I didn’t already own a nice SG I would have bought it.

Congrats man, I’d love to see fit pics!

Thank you. It is actually on the small side. 18 inches shoulder but 19.5 inches P-to-P. Seller missed the P-to-P by an inch therefore I cannot zip up. May fit you better but for the short sleeves.
