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

[TLW '90]

Recently I started thinking about the suede vest I had when I was a kid and kind of wanting another one.

I went looking on Ebay, and I just found this Pioneer wear suede vest at a price I couldn't pass up.
For $16+ shipping I can't really loose.

I think it's a pretty cool classic western style.

The snaps are cool looking too, exactly what you'd expect from a vest made in Albuquerque New Mexico.

I've never heard of the brand before, but the price was right and I like cheap thrills.

Aviator will be flying in soon. No name, no label, no lining, no fit.

I saw that one and thought I'd be something for you. $195 great score.

Wait, $195?!? Nice.

I did a bit of minor research and found that the pioneer wear trademark was issued in 1948 and expired never to be renewed in 1988.

I'd guess this vest is probably from the 70's.

Yes I know; but it is old, no lining, too small. Could have other issues; loose threads, wear, etc. With tax and shipping=$245.

I just paid $150+tax,shipping=$195 for this jacket. Fits my sister at 5'2" 120 pounds and it is a man's jacket! I would say this jacket is quite rare for etc. reasons, but no other bidders

I suppose it is a wash; one a good deal, the other not?

Just found this on a google search.

It looks to be a Seattle Woolen. Here's one with a label.

Thank you. Your eye is sharp! It is indeed a Seattle woolen less the lining. The lining on these jackets was seeming delicate when new, not surprising it is lost. The labeled jacket has a much later replacement zipper, which is obvious in size. The unlined jacket has a 40s Talon pull, I can't see the box. Probably a sunrise Talon.

I just sold a Seattle Woolen Pony Hide police jacket with a beautiful hide. This era pony hide they used is quite special. I think more and more about their jackets, where they figure in the grand scheme of things West Coast.

One reason to buy the leather and figure out the name later.

Your discovery makes for a even more interesting jacket.

It's in the mail, it has to cross the ocean and clear customs, i would say mid January probably.

These dates are terrible. I've had an item from Canada stuck in customs since the 8th of December. It had already prepaid taxes and all so... not sure what's going on with DHL.

Well my brother just received it, will pick it up this week end.
It shipped on thursday from NYC.

Pays to have a Pro UPS account i guess. ( i sent a label to Stuart from my bro's pro account, he says that's why it goes so fast)

UPS in general is pretty good. I once got a jacket in under 24 hours from UK to NJ via UPS Worldwide Express for about $35.

This arrived today from British Sheepskin.

I went down to Somerset to see Gary (the owner) got measured up etc, had the length reduced to my preference and the pockets lifted almost to where they usually are on a parka and left him with it. In my eyes he's nailed it big style!

B3 style but with the 22mm wool.

I just scored this awesome pioneer wear suede jacket on ebay.

Marc mndt posted his and I instantly fell in love, I saw it and my first thought was Damn that's a gorgeous jacket !
Right away I went on Ebay and found one, after a little enabling from the forum I made an offer that was accepted before I knew it.

It doesn't have hand pockets which I know I'm not going to like as much but I don't care.
I will find a way to make this jacket work for me.

It’s a beauty! Nice score!

I just love the lining.
It adds a real pop of western flair to the jacket without ruining the subtle elegant appearance it has on the outside.
