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

I found a brown Vanson A-2 and worked out a transaction for it. I have been searching for a brown one for some time now as they just do not pop up very often for sale in my big ass size. Looking forward to getting my grubby paws on this beauty.

This Admiral Byrd is on the wing. I could not be more pleased. My favorite of the Roughwear clothing two pocket style. I have it in a smooth leather, but not the suede leather. It will fit too, wearable.

For my closet this is a big find. This was a popular style in the MW catalog. The 2 way pocket trademark held by Roughwear Clothing Co. applied for 1936. This jacket has a mid 40s zipper.

Yes, came from ebay auction.. Quite well pictured and described

An original "fancy" lining is a big plus for me. These jackets came in a variety of linings. This jacket was made in Middleton, Pennsylvania. The use of the suede material may show a lack of other hides being available during WWII. Wow!

As a bonus, seller said buy the jacket get some matching pants for free. No pics of the pants, so we'll see what shows up.

Shoutout to @JMax for posting this in the Finds & Deals thread inconspicuously.

If it’s turns out to be large, I’m your huckleberry!! Sweet jacket. I hope it fits you bud.

This is a gorgeous one, kept trying to shrink the measurements so that I could buy it.

This Pendleton should arrive tomorrow. From what I can find it's got a label from the 30's-40's and perhaps a "giant" Talon zipper that the only reference I could find was from @tmitchell59 dating it to mid 50's. Any other insight from TFL'ers?

I know nothing about Pendleton labels. The Tear drop Talon is more 60s and the big main could be the same.. I can say the zippers are not 30s or 40s.

Nice with the two ziper.

Well the diamond Gusset work jacket I ordered from All American clothing arrived today, and it's way too big.
I didn't pay that much aattention to the size chart, but they list the chest size for a small as 46.
I measured it and not counting the storm flap like they do, it's a 44.

How the hell is a size 44 a small ?
