What are your 2019 leather jacket buying plans or aspirations?

[HoosierDaddy]

So my Thedi showed up and the buttons are wrong and the sleeves are too short. Looks like 2" were taken off instead of 1".

So far that is two for two that are not right. The Langlitz and now this.

I'm kind of bummed out.

I can live with the wrong button colour but the sleeve length is wrong.

I forget. Did you go through Thurston Bro. with a try on jacket or just send measurements directly to Thedi..??

My plan is to sell all which I don't wear anymore and then AFTER that is done, get two last exit-jackets. A Johnson Leather Trucker and a Aero Brown CLX Bootlegger with mouton collar. I have no rush on either of these two projects though, I'm feeling the need much lesser these days than I used to. I rarely even check eBay. May actually be done after these two.

I am looking at boots a lot lately, though. Alden, Dinkelacker and then there's all those fancy-colored Doc Martens 1460s..

So... three jackets sold, one ordered (The Bootlegger!). 23 days in and still sticking to plan. I'm calling it a success.

Through T Bros. They are sorting it out for me so I am not worried. Just another wait but no big deal. I"d rather have it right than not right.

This one has to fit in someone's plan.

Idk.. these cuffs remind me of these trashy women's jackets that are snug in the arms and then all plushy at the cuffs..

Maybe best you post this one in the The Powder Room.

My plan for 2019 is to really break in the jacket's I've got, and potentially order an Aero Cross zip for arrival in late fall. I've been wearing my Sheene or Bootlegger almost every day now that it's cold, but I am hoping to really tear into my Iron Heart trucker once it warms up. Its got some decent fades started but needs another few months before it really gets going. Would really like to hold off on purchases in general for a while and focus on appreciating what I already have.

It's interesting how colours carry associations; this particular amber shade of leather coupled with the darker mouton makes me think of cool leather jackets in American Seventies detective films. The mouton cuff isn't my bag, but I have become very attracted to the Aero Hudson... maybe in 2020....

Why would I want to post in a place where men are not welcome?

It's an interesting jacket in a unique style. Someone might like it.

No question there, it's a really sweet looking coat and the leather is something else - I don't think they offer this hide anymore - but yeah, the cuffs are a bit... I'm not sure I've ever seen such fur cuffs on a man's coat. Otherwise, everything else is just perfect!

Have a BK A-2 on the way.
Also waiting for AVI's new veg-tanned Bronco and/or Perry A-2. They have hinted at an M422a and a B-3 for later in the year.

 

[Seank]

Waiting on my Black CXL Steerhide Highwayman now, and planning a Route 66 in brown CXL.

Still not sure, but I'm certain it's going to involve some of this.
That steer is to die for!

Well guys, 2019 has been a bust so far. 3 of the 4 jackets I ordered in late 2018 have shown up not being made right. The Aero I ordered right when I first joined up here arrived today and is not even close. Way too big.

Wish me luck on the remakes since I am getting real tired of paying import tax on test fit jackets and then again on the actual product that is not right.

Sorry to hear that... hoping that all these setbacks pay off when the jackets come back!

 

[Robbie79]

I'm sure and cross my fingers for you that the size of the remaining 3 jackets will be right and that the Aero will fit after remaking it despite the additional import tax! For some reason the real sizes of my Aero jackets are all different - some are tight and some are a little bit lose....all are "bespoke" jackets...I also guess it depends who at Aero makes the jackets. So, good luck!!

Can you get a refund on the import taxes?

So far the response on the Aero jacket has been tough luck and it seems to be my problem now.

I may have had a lucky escape - cancelled my custom order after poor communication and inability to follow instructions ... that was before any fit issues
