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

I was getting ready one evening, trying on stuff & deciding what to wear and one hour in, it hit me - What the hell am I doing!? Listed everything the next day, never looked back.

I've kept all the shoes and boots that I like, which amounts to five and which amounts to all the leather that I will own. I'll keep several pants and four textile jackets that keep me warm on those two months per year and that's that.
Just because leather jackets are stiff heavy and uncomfortable, make you sweat in the heat and freeze when it’s cold and are both addictive and expensive is NO reason to just give up on the whole…

Oh no…:confused:

BOOOOO!!
Not enough pockets.

No, but that’s a seriously nice jacket, and the panel matching on the right shoulder especially is some kind of magic. It almost looks like a single panel.

I think you did it just right. When the grain of the leather is such a focal point of the jacket you need to pick the exact individual jacket out for yourself.

A minimalist approach. Very fine. That's exactly what I do too... in my mind.
As I've often mentioned, it's just the implementation that's a problem.
Unfortunately, I've bought a disproportionate amount in the last few months, but at least I haven't bought a leather jacket. I even cancelled one I had already ordered. I'm proud of myself. lol
