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

[MrProper]

I had ordered another Premier Highwayman (natural CXFQHH). But since the status of the order hadn't changed since I placed it, I had enough time to do some soul-searching and decided that I actually already have more jackets than I can wear in the short spring and autumn season. In summer I don't wear jackets, in winter I have shearling.
I'll probably be annoyed at some point that I didn't take the discount, but I've cancelled the order anyway and I'm going to break in the jackets I have. Minimalist rules lol

Such a nice jacket, one of my favorite Buco designs.

Those pocket flaps are somewhat unique in the world of cowboy shirts. Usually these shirts do not have an offset snap on an asymmetrically cut pocket flap. Never seen 'em like that before your posts.

it is less common, but I think

Taylor stitch

This brand also has something similar

all have similar looking flap

usually the pocket in this config is also a bit slanted, I like this pocket, can be accessed without opening the snap and can carry pen on the far end of the pocket.

originally I wanted to buy levi's shirt but their stock in my size is empty in local levi's dealer. so I bought from local indonesian brand, the striped beige one is from a brand called Workershield, and this chambray is from brand called Wingman

Finally did it.

Placed an order for a jacket with one of Savile Row's most experienced tailors today. Originally I was going to go with a much more Outerwear subforum choice in tweed, but when I realized I'd be finishing up the order in early summer, I switched for a navy blazer.

Also ordered some shirts from a similarly experienced shirtmaker; three dressier, one brushed cotton and warm.

Oh I forgot to mention the main reason I posted about that order… the bespoke flannel shirt costs less than Iron Heart and other makers charge for RTW. So I’d suggest our London members, if they’re already comfortable spending that much, consider making a trip to Sackville Street to visit Stephen Lachter at Kent and Haste and get perfectly fitting shirts.

The firm is obviously still pricey, but being owned by the tailors and shirtmaker themselves, they have no management company overhead as most London clothes shops do and aren’t on the Row itself with its astronomical rents, and actively pass the savings on. This is intentional because they want to be accessible enough that they can get normal long term customers instead of just whales. (So in some cases you have the funny situation of either going to these guys direct or paying more to get stuff made by people they trained.) There are a couple of firms like that now, which is good to see. I think they’re better for preserving the craft.

Thanks for the recommendations, I do need several new formal shirts, I will go visit them when I get back from this trip.

As someone who bought most of his formal shirts during the Boxing Day and July sales, it’s obviously a big jump in price but alas I don’t have the collar size I did at 21… but he charges comparable for bespoke what Turnbull now charges for readymade. (T&A does great work but running big flagship shops in London, New York, and LA obviously adds overhead costs…)

Knowing you though, you’ll go there for some formal shirts, but will come out also having ordered a hitherto unseen field/motorcycle jacket in their house tweed with armour pockets and a scarlet lining that we’ll be amazed at here a few months later.
