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

Fit isn't optimal (reminds me a lot of an old Brooks fit a size down from what fits me best)...but I'll forgive it for the hide. Thick and juicy and sweet potato esque with light tan highlights.

That’s bad to the bone. Nice score!

"Hmm, that's basically $200, which isn't much considering it's a Vanson... Rare color, too. They don't have this hide anymore, right? And besides, I could always flip it later on for a profit..."

If that was a 48 I’d buy it all day long.

The fit looks great on you Ton! I think it's alway good to have one jacket a tad roomier than the others, in which you can feel your arms and shoulder more at ease! But if you don't like it, you can always sell it to me!

Going to get another Enfield in Octagon leather, is the octagon leather has same water repellent finish like competition weight leather? Anybody? Thanks!

 

[handymike]

I don't think so.

No jackets incoming. I’ll have to see if the ones I have melted.

I picked up this nice vintage “no name” heavy dark brown leather jacket. All the brass talon zippers work and it’s a size 48 fits more like a 46. I’m happy

And this Aero HG5 with beautiful FQHH

Those are all cool! However... You've now doubled your need for a leather allowance. One for you, one for her.

1. My first custom Aero. Today is officially 1 month under the belt. The only thing making the wait bearable is the outside temp. If it were jacket weather I’d never make it. I feel like a 9 year old counting the days until xmas.

Best/worst feeling in the world

Did you go for a 30’s half belt? What leather? Any mods?

 

[ton312]

I'm @ 2 months on my 50's HB. Should/could be anyday now. Thankfully the 90 degree summer days have allowed me to think about other things, like sweating profusely.

Way too hot over here to wear jackets. The heat index hit 110 last week. Fall/Winter will be fun with the new leathers. Picked up two more vintage Brooks for my wife yesterday and a 80’s CR for my nephew. I’ll post pics when they land.

Have this on the way. Sellers photo. Any idea of what it might be @Mysteryo ? No tag, seller claims 50's Horsehide. Check the sweet back.
