Been hunting for jackets a lot during the christmas holidays.
These are on the way to me:

An unknown Schott 134:

New year new jackets, starting the year strong with 3 news to the collection(may have to start selling some soon lol).

First jacket is a real grail of mine, a repro of Peter's tailormade in this case made by Fields leather. Bought this from a fellow lounger(and a real gent!).

Second one is a CHP-style jacket in cowhide I found for around 100$ on a Swedish vintage size, really been eyeing this design lately(I blame all the threads here with beautiful CHP-jackets lol)

Last but not least, a Jelado wool/leather aviator style jacket I've loved since I first saw it. Got the opportunity to buy this from a fellow lounger(also a real gent!) and I couldn't resist :D

I've never heard of Key industries or their Saddle king brand before so I don't know how old it might be, but this NOS piece popped up on Ebay for a low price that I couldn't pass up.


The round bottom breast pockets, and the back detail on this one are a bit different and interesting.

I was looking to replace the 80's wranglers that I hardly wear because it has an annoying fold at the top corner just below the collar that I cannot for the life of me get out.
I've ironed it multiple times with and without steam, soaked it first, washed it, but it just goes back to how it was.

Not the usual high end stuff shown here, but 2 Hein Gericke Classic Gear jackets on the way right now. Nevertheless they are quite heavy (around 2,5-3kg) and well made even compared to Thedi. Without the logo they would be even cooler but I will black/brown out those to try and hide it. (the logo is embroided, sadly no chance to remove it)

I did a little digging online and found that Key industries is still located in Ft Scott Kansas, apparently they're most known for their bib overalls.
Google says they're designed and manufactured in FT Scott Kansas, but prices kind of suggest otherwise and they make zero mention on their website.

This jacket has their most recent Saddle king label / tagging which I have found on a number of obviously recent NOS jeans with a very modern sizing sticker and barcode tag.
They started lapsing on the Saddle king trademark about 10 years ago and had completely lost it by 2020.
This jacket just has a price sticker on the tag instead of a barcode but that doesn't really mean much, it could have just been sold at their factory store or something where they may not use barcodes.
I'm guessing this jacket is probably between 5-20 years old.
