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

Found this a couple of weeks ago. HD Sportster missing tag?

It certainly looks like one. I bought a very similar jacket from Mandarin last week which is also missing the tag :

Is there any way to tell A 'white label' HD jacket apart from a black AMF label HD jacket?

Yes please! Johnson Leather MC-500

Put down a deposit sending a cloth fit jacket to try

For the Sportster, I think the earlier white label has the diamond zipper pull on cheat pocket while the later model has the ring pull particularly the AMF era ones.

What a beauty!
Straight zip CHP has to be my favorite style of all time!

I was gonna try langlitz again but i just wont know how it is gonna fit. This way after the cloth mock up will add or subtract here or there and get just what i want fit wise. And about 400 less and 8 weeks vs 6 mths. I wanted to show some love to JL have always taken good care of me.

Jacket is extremely cool but that pocket is just an absolute work of art! The studs above the sleeve zips are a cool detail too. Greg is good. Really good.

Beautiful

@Robbie79 that is a cool jacket. The front pocket detail is fantastic and I really like the colour you chose for the lining.

Let's see a photograph of the back.

@ton312 Thanks, I appreciate your positive feedback! Greg asked me if I want the studs above the sleeve zips and I don't regret it.

@Colin G Thanks very much, Colin! Here you go - it does look black on the photo but in reality/sunlight it looks blue:

Cryptic. Esoteric. I feel ya. It’s a commitment. How else to know? The desire grows, but perhaps one last experiment. The plan is set.

I sent an offer tonight. Let’s see if seller accepts or counter offers.

I had to resist Mister Freedom restock of the Stallion. I just don’t see myself having to pay so much taxes in a jacket now even after the 30% discount.

Also I feel like seeing the same jacket on everyone makes it less desirable to me.

Too bad the Himel Heron being sold by a member is so long and has long arms or I would consider it.

Well, I went a bit crazy waiting for the LW. Two jackets inbound.

A Thurlow Deerskin MC jacket exactly like @tmitchell59 jacket. Hope it fits.

The second is the Langlitz recently posted in the Deals thread by @jacketjunkie. Thank you sir. I received pictures from the seller and the measurements were a bit off so I hope it works, especially the length. He graciously accepted a lower offer too. Both deals I will pass on to folks here if one or both do not fit.

I sold mine. It was very nice. Just not a jacket I would wear a lot. I recently got a 50s Thurlow catalog.

That is really special and the red stitching is the icing on the cake!

Just got some rolls of this superb natural veg cow，very similar to the Mister Freedom campus material if not actually the same supplier. Looking forward to make something from it

Supposedly this tannery only offers this one leather, go figure

 

[red devil]

Where is the tannery located?

Looks good!

Yay! I just bought this morning the Eastman Leather Clothing Brooklands motoring coat for £500. A new one costs £1300 so I consider it a great deal for such a special coat. Seller accepted the offer which is awesome.

I already have the black WWI 3/4 German leather coat in size 40(I can layer under it) which is the same but with horn buttons and without handwarmers. I went with size 38 on the brown which should fit better with just a few layers or just a shirt.

I am excited although it is clearly a late autumn/winter coat. I have never seen many around if any being worn.
