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

[El Marro]

I’ve got another Lee Storm Rider Reproduction on the way from Butterscotch. This is the European version from Lee and it will join the three repros I already own, one from RMC, one from Lee Japan, and one from IH.
As you can see, I’ve got a bit of a thing for this style and I have a hard time saying no when I find a new one to buy.

 

[Marc mndt]

I think so too

Guys, please tell me what's wrong with my A-1?

Do I really need to spell it out for you? You got a perfect fit, that's what is wrong! lol

It is very hard to make this jacket looks good, and I think the jacket @willyto got is really interesting

Edit: Yep, I especially like the third pic with the jacket open, I can't remember seeing such a good fit

Probably wouldn’t fit me as well as it does you, for starters.

Nothing, it's just that some folks may not be into knits that much. I know I am not.

Lol
If that’s wrong i don’t want to be right.

Telling @Marc mndt what’s wrong with his jackets is like telling Michelangelo he missed a spot or @ton312 how to fit a CR.
Daily perfection

Such a rich colour, love it!

 

[willyto]

Imo, much, much better call than the A-1.

I think so too

I love the A-1 but it’s not as practical for a normal use. Can’t put a phone in the pockets, no inside pocket and the knits are a weak point.

I know about the pockets because I own a cossack from LVC that has the same problem.

I agree - the Hartmann looks ace!

I like this pun

It’s amazing but I don’t think it’s as practical as other jackets. If I can, I prefer to prevent carrying my stuff in my trousers pockets. If I’m wearing a jacket and I can’t carry anything it kind of loses it’s purpose.

How often do you wear it?

I’m kind of the other way in that if I’m wearing a jacket it will be taken off and put on multiple times in a day whereas my trousers tend to stay with me the whole time, so I leave my valuables in those pockets. I am a minimalist though and don’t wear tight trousers, so it’s not visually disturbing.

It's a hugely impractical jacket. The only thing those pockets are good for is for carrying a face mask yet I highly doubt they had those in mind when designing this jacket.

It's an ideal jacket for chilly summer nights when going out for a drink. I think I've worn it about 5 times (which is relatively speaking actually quite a lot considering I own about 50 jackets lol)

There are “civilian” A1’s from Schott and Valstar that has handwarmer pockets behind the patch pocket and inside chest pocket.

When they designed the jacket, they had open cockpit bi-plane only. What they had in mind was things getting in your way when you fly and when you try to put on a parachute mid flight. The German flight jackets at the time had even smaller pockets.

I've made a pledge with myself today to buy another jacket when my last one falls apart. I'm not buying anymore jackets ever again, in translation.

I really dislike that. Either handwarmer or patch pockets but both are not for me.

I was afraid of that. I really find the concept of chilly summer nights quite funny because I can't relate. We don't have that in Barcelona. Even a linen jacket or a thin cotton one is too much. Also I go walking almost everywhere, rarely ride my Vespa during the week because of the traffic and maniac drivers.

I rarely remove my jackets to be honest. Twice a day maybe. At work when changing into my uniform suit (My belongings then go with me) and when I get home. Only when going out if inside but then I get my things into my pockets and depending on where I'm at I'm 100% not removing my leather jacket.

I wear wide leg and high waist trousers but still don't like to carry much in my pockets.

Damn 21st century with smartphones and stuff! I just carry a card wallet (with my DNI, credit/debit and healthcare cards so 3-4) a small phone(I wish they were smaller actually)and keys. My moustache wax tin goes into the coin pocket of trousers.

On the small phone front, I’m happy with my 2016 SE, and am relieved that Apple brought out the 12 mini, which is virtually the same size. I hate big phones too, and have no problem reading novels et cetera on it.

Mouth-watering! You got yourself quite the collection going!

I just tried, those Eastman A-1 pockets are too small to fit an iPhone 12 mini.

Same here. It always looks clunky and really takes away from the clean look of the originals.
