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

Hoping that my first purchase of a Rainbow Country Speedster in Black from FromJapan works out because these proxy services seem super sketchy.

Of all the years of buying through buyee, more than 26 purchases never a problem

That’s good to know Jon. The N-2B is only my second purchase using them so was a little anxious.

You'll be fine most Japanese sellers are entirely honourable and ship to the international warehouse pretty quickly

I have nothing on the way yet but am currently on a mission to find a nylon satin PD jacket with a detachable brown (green could work ) mouton collar I can rob for my Taylor's CMPD.
Prices are often under $50, I've just gotta find the right one.
I have saved searches and watched listings for Blauer, Butwin, and Horace small but am looking for other brands to add to the search.

If all else fails I'll look into sending my jacket somewhere and having a collar made, but this option is most ideal because I can come out dirt cheap and have another winter jacket for work.

I'm trying to cut back with mixed emotions. Lusting after some of the ones I sold a while back, but really trying to not buy any more. I'm such a weirdo. Every time I buy a premium jacket it just sits in the closet and I end up wearing my "beaters" instead. I'm gracefully exiting from the scene, slowly, with some exceptions. There's a hell of a lot one can buy with $700+ that isn't a jacket. At the moment I want a giant model zeppelin to hang from the ceiling. LOL

I absolutely relate to this. I will buy a jacket and love it for days but after that I will hang it in the closet and maybe consider wearing it, but generally my collection just hangs there for me to oggle at for six seconds while I grab my usual one for fear of 'ruining' the others.

I used to be like that, then one day the switch just flipped and now I’m wearing brand new jackets or delicate ones like deerskin on the bike, I’m dying some by hand and dye-soaking others, I’m shrinking some trying different methods, sanding down leather to nubuck, hand waxing/oiling others, and of course ruining some in the learning process and using them as house decorations.
