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

Damn!!!! NICE Terry. Looks mint!

Yes, looks very nice. Will be here Friday. Put two more bids in. Interesting jackets coming up in Japan. I wear a 44/42 and they are not as popular in Japan, so a better price. Even with shipping and proxy fees the prices are what I would pay for the jacket on ebay or less.

Shearling collared nylon Schott flight jacket arrived. It’s great! Fits slim, easy to move in, comfortably warm (too much so for this warm November day). More deep burgundy than the seller pics which is a bonus in my book. And the zipper is ridiculously robust. Love it!

Yeah it’s eye opening for me too. I suspected it would look like a big ball around my torso and that’s not really the case.

It’s really that color that got me. That’s a freaking stunning eye catching color.

Freewheelers Speed Master. A good bargain from my friend who had worn this piece less than 10 times.

 

[Mrfrown]

Woah super cool. Lucky you @TheBigEraser

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

I think I'm going to visit them next year to get measure. That way is more accurate.

This is the nicest, coolest, sleekest CR that's ever been made, IMO. It's perfect.

Sir, your reply has made me even more excited. Can't wait until the jacket arrives!

It’s funny but by God that jacket LOOKS fast!

Seconded. Good thing that FW just don´t fit me.

Shearling from Fivestar was ordered. I call it "Frankenstein" because its a mix of different jackets.

What's this gonna be?

My Aero A-2 came in today. Lovely fit and soft and supple.

This Golden Bear x Shinola wool shearling collar flight jacket came in. It has nice details like satin lined sleeves and a 2 way zip. Plus the wool is quite easy wearing (unlike a vintage Melton wool peacoat I had a few years back from 1940s US Navy stock). Not feeling blown away as I was with the nylon Schott jacket I got recently but will see how it wears over time.

The blonde collar is awesome. Love the contrast between it and the blue wool. I really like this one.

 

[Mrfrown]

@JMax thanks man. I think the collar has to be the nicest part of this jacket- the contrast, the plushness, pretty amazing really.

And the lighting doesn’t show properly, the wool is black.

Works well both because black is great (of course) and for Saints colors (even though I don’t follow football like I used to)

We definitely see it often enough around here. It happened with both of my Langlitz orders and I know it has happened to some of our other regulars here as well. it’s a shame they don’t offer an off the rack option with customization of sleeve and back length.

I think I'm going to visit them next year to get measure. That way is more accurate.

There was a gentleman who posted a new jacket last year that he had received after being measured at the shop in person. The fit was terrible, it was two sizes too big and he ended up returning it.

So nuts to me. Like is it just training new workers and accepting they make mistakes? Especially at the prices, with the wait, it’s a hard pill to swallow.

Johnson Leathers made a vest for me that fits 95% perfect and we never measured in person at all, and their prices are WAY more reasonable. I’ve heard many similar positive stories about JL, and many similar negative ones about Langlitz.
