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

Not sure if I should put this in the cheap funds thread or here but I bought this green Fidelity for $35.

I seriously doubt it’ll fit but for the $ I couldn’t resist. The color is just too much. If it does fit I’ll be looking for some bell bottoms and red chuck T’s, shave to just a mustache and sport a beanie and skateboard. Fingers crossed.

Just got another update via email...

"Your package is moving within the USPS network and is on track to be delivered to its final destination. It is currently in transit to the next facility."

So helpful and informative.

I still receive “find missing mail” updates for a package I received last August. Talk about not looking in the most obvious place. Perhaps I should tell them to close their eyes and recall where they have been?

im became obsessed with an idea of actually keeping my closed small and only to have things i actually use =) sold my buco j-24, sold my gw a-2, now i'm waiting for 4oz brown HH LW Leathertogs and afterwards will do some black jacket, freewheelers or something else, cannot decide yet.
So for me a sweet spot is 2: 1 brown, 1 black as i never ever mix this two colors.

... sold my buco j-24...

I wish I could'a snagged that one!

Here is the Highwayman!
Holly says it dates around 1984-1985, possibly made by Ken himself...



Notice the collar shape:


All in all, I'm really impressed. Probably the nicest Aero I've handled. The Connolly steerhide is perfect for this jacket IMHO.

Interesting to see it doesn't have the bottom band and that it has shoulder gussets...I wonder if it was a custom job or that was the pattern back in the day?

That looks spectacular man. That collar and the two chest pocket config is really nice!

 

[Mich486]

Really nice! Don’t know if it’s because is already broken in or what but it seems to fit much better than the current pattern! Great score mike

I might have found my keeper "beat-around" jacket.
