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

[Imuricecreamman]

I'm considering dipping my toes into the world of motorcycle jackets and I stumbled upon this Berman's on the cheap. Anybody know the brand and if it might be a good first jacket of this type?

^^ very cool that everything worked out well! looks like they made and delivered the jacket ahead of time too, good job SB team.

Under four weeks from payment to delivery!

the fit seemed a little off at first and i was freaking out a little, but after I cinched-up the side adjusters it is now perfect.

beautiful. Is it the SB bootlegger?

it’s a modified version of their classic biker model that isn’t listed. It’s the same as they made for Standard and Strange, that they call the Crosszip or the Debs Special.

Gotcha. The one with double buckles on each side? Seen some great fits with that one!

That’s the one. Actually, I think they call it their Double Rider. I’m going to get some better pics Thursday, but this is it (uncinched):

Took a chance with sizing on this Horsehide Ike. Price was just too good

Think Brooks cross zip. Light-ish, but very nice jackets. Not very pricey, though so I hope this one really is cheap. Back seems to be cracking and the belt has been cut off. In any case, okay jackets. Made in Korea.

Thanks for the feedback, Monitor. Leather seems to have a bit of character. The removed belt is a plus for me since I think they would look a bit too serious on me with it attached. The interior looks nice (Solid black quilted) It's advertised for 50 bucks here in Norway. Sounds about right?

Berman's are made out of thin leather. Like, not lambskin thin but they've used really thin cowhide. It's a sturdy leather, not in any way inferior to Brooks but... Cracking on the back is something I'd worry about. Looks to me like it has cracked all the way through or it's at least getting close. And if that is the case, no deal is good enough. To me personally, at least.

Looks great otherwise and it's got some brilliant character all over, that much is true.

Yeah, I'm not thinking long term on this, more to see if the style is for me as I guess this atleast is a "semi-vintage" piece and if I like the look and fit I will probably upgrade to a vintage Herc or Grais or something like that.

This Hercules is coming in from Japan. This is the best of the auction pictures. It is brown. Similar to the recent jacket owned by @ton312, with a different back design.

I finally got my first custom jacket from Langlitz Leathers. The quality is really nice and I really like it. But unfortunately there is a sizing issue and the jacket fit too long for me. So I talk to Bennie from Langlitz Leathers and I will ship the jacket back

Regardless of price, just looks like an excellent Vanson! That's the one horse missing from my riding gear stable, is an actual horsehide Vanson. Just need to find a 40 /42

And yes, the binge continues albeit nothing super expensive. Maybe a way to handle to current world stress! ha. Two military picks coming this week. MA-1 Black satin USA made Golden Mfg Co, New. Probably 90s'. And then this '69 Lancer N2B for the upcoming winter. Not great pics from the seller but judging by the fur and hood lining I expect this to be in great shape.

Looks fantastic. Sucks about the screw up. I feel like that comes up a lot with Langlitz?

Agreed. This will be my first Vanson, really looking forward to it. Hoping it’ll fit like a generous 38 / slim 40

Did you purposefully omit to mention that once you're in the darkside you never want to leave?
