Barely 20 jackets... since when do we consider this a collection by TFL standards? :D

Jokes aside, I would love to see more pictures of that Vanson Ike. You don't see that model too often and especially not in brown.

Ha, that’s right. Folks like TM, Mysterio, etc. must’ve gotten dizzy rolling their eyes at my “collection”.

Pics of Ike to follow. It’s comp. weight, heavy but supple. Not the best to ride due to its lack of snaps on collar but is my go-to for travel to cold weather cities.

Pictures like these make me feel better about myself, thanks.

I sold everything I wanted to sell, I was convinced I have like four leather jackets and I just counted 12... It's sickening! And on top of that, I have three IH's all of the sudden, four sherpa truckers and one regular Levi's Type 3.

Haha. That’s funny. I knew the amount because I keep a spreadsheet with measurements but admit to thinking “what the hell am I doing” when laying them out for pics. It became real at that point, not little numbers on a piece of paper.

Can you wear any of them in Sydney weather? I lived there for a year and never wore more than a shirt. :p

Any chance of ever doing fit pics/posting measurements of the US-A Barnstormer? IIRC on the site the sizing's only listed in S,M,L format.

Was thinking, "man, that collection is far out; looks more impressive than anything I've owned" then I realized I once owned that Highwayman! Whoops! One of the mind-eroding effects of jacketeering.

Lovely collection. I'd like to see more pictures of the Connolly Highwayman. I have a Highwayman in that leather, albeit a traditional Highwayman, not the zip sleeve version.
