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

One hell of a thing, ain’t it?
Built like a tank. Almost twice as heavy as the Buco I received yesterday lol.

Just bought this unlabeled bomber jacket that based on the outline of the label, I'm almost positive is an LL Bean (I believe made by Golden Bear) shearling-lined goatskin jacket, especially with the leather cuff protectors. Hope it works out, I've always been a sucker for the civilian bomber jacket style and feel like this is a cut above its contemporaries like Schott, Cooper, etc.

Did GB make a lot of the LL Bean jackets at some point? I didn't know that.

I think I read there was a connection on an older thread in this forum but it makes sense to me. LL Bean isn’t known for their leather jackets otherwise so I doubt they were made in Maine. The leather cuff protector is also a Golden Bear signature on their bomber and varsity jackets.
