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

I've got an SBv2 in Blattwerk Mahogany coming from SB as soon as I finalise some small details on the hardware.

I managed to snag this one today, I believe this may be a Bates?
The leather itself made me want to check it out.

My first Johnson Leather I believe it’s an M-200

Had these two guys waiting for me after my LA trip. Got them both for absolute steals!

First is a late 40’s Beck 444 in perfect mint condition. Couldn’t believe it when I saw this. Luckily for me it had a BIN that’s super cheap for a jacket this rare and in this condition. Measurements were way off but it didn’t even matter. As luck has it, it’s a perfect fit.

Next up is a super rare late 40’s Lewis of LA CHP jacket. It went under the radar on eBay, has some condition issues but it was dirt cheap. It’s a 40-42 and big on me so no fit pics for this one. Bought from the grandson of the original owner whose name is on the jacket and was a patrolman. The few other Lewis jackets I’ve seen also have the wool liner under the rayon which is super cool.

Same size/lot photo they were using in the 50s/60s.

This is now a go. Got Oakland (strap) sleeves added, no zip on pocket and 1.5 inches added to body length. Typically, production time is short. Pics soon.

Those are beautiful jackets. The Lewis looks like a Californian to me. That black lining is in one of my bullet proof Californian heavy duty motorcycle police jacket.

Thank you! Lewis was based in LA just like California Sportswear so it makes sense there are similarities. Another similarity to the Californian jackets is the double stitch around the hand warmer pockets.

Got this Graise cheap.

The M-200 arrived, fit and finish are good.

First jacket I have purchased in a hot minute. Branded Garments suede cross zip from Japan. Needs some TLC and is horribly impractical for NC weather, but I've wanted a suede cross zip for years and the asking price was cheap.

Nice! Is it a shorter/cropped fit? Looks like a pattern I'd be into

Thanks, because of my size requirements the back length is 29” . It’s labeled a size 48 but measurements push it to a 50-52 which is my size in most jackets.

The fit looks good despite the measurements. Don’t you think?

I have this pristine WD coming for a great price.

Yes, couldn’t be happier. It’s an absolute perfect fit.

The 16.5” chest they provided didn’t make any sense. The actual measurement is 20” lol.
