Still waiting for SB CR in Shinki, so I put an offer in for a Bates Atlas CR. It was accepted.

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

it is the color of royalty... might influencing your subconscious look at the pose of that model lololWith my brown Mulholland for sale, I needed a replacement (needed of course). I've loved the Mushmans collaboration jackets with Electric Leather Studios for quite some time now. Some of them are a bit out there, but that's also why I like them. I am sure that this one will not be to everyone's taste, but I obviously love it. It's their version of the Indiana Jones jacket. It's a cool jacket being sort of A2-esque. I've had a couple of A2s and liked them, but this version, slimmed down and with a unique leather is a more modern update in my opinion.
The leather specifically is probably my favorite aspect. It's Badalasssi, my favorite cowhide in the world and my second favorite leather after Shinki Hikaku. The color is called prugna, which is a sort of purple/burgundy color. This is perfect as it fills that darker brown-ish hole left by the Mulholland while being more unique. Plus, purple is my absolute favorite color and this is a purple that is wearable. My new White Klouds will be burgundy so this jacket should match well with that. The only thing I don't love about it is the handwarmer pockets, but they're pretty well hidden and they are part of the original Indiana Jones design so I can't be upset. Plus, it was time to have something besides Freewheelers in my collection.
Normally I would not order the new jacket before selling the old one, but it's a hyper limited pre-order and I got the last one in my size. I think they're only making 12 in total, so there was probably only 1 or 2 in my size at most. Fujita-San of Mushmans told me it will be done in November/December, just in time to be a Christmas present and just in time for cold weather here in socal. Anyway, I need to stop writing a review before I even have it. Here are the promo pics.

I’ve owned both. I found: Alpaca is much nicer on the Rmc. Rmc is cut trimmer. Pike is a better deal price v quality. Neither as historically accurate as Buzz Rickson if that’s your thing.

Another. Levi’s. Sherpa. Trucker. Navy blue canvas and Sherpa. Too cheap to pass on despite being a size down from my regular size. I have 4 of these now. I’m done with them. Until they release one with dark brown Sherpa and black canvas. I’ll buy 30 of those.

I had that exact same jacket, ordered from Aero. I had a real love hate with it. The whip cord seemed a bit fragile and the alpaca/wool was terribly itchy. Super warm though and looked great.Just arrived, Pike Brothers N1 Deck Jacket...Khaki/Brown
Just a few first impressions.
Over all finish of fabric and lining is good, details finish is just OK for the price, not more. Button holes, zipper tag... not really produced convincingly clean for example. My French Pea Coat for a similar price tag is produced way better, beside that I just payed half price for that.
Product care is heititei-hand wash what is okayish for me but appears not to fit real specs of utility clothing in my opinion.
Size is US-XL on the outside, inside dimensions run smaller due to thick woolen insulation. Could maybe wear a thin jumper underneath but for sure no layering, thick sweater or so in a comfortable way. This not due to a tiny Tuborg-muscle but to shoulder width and arms.
Over all a very good pub jacket. Just a Henley or so and that jacket thrown over, way warm enough for a winterly pub tour and if you’re after this style it is just OK for the price.
If you’re after a rugged, warm, comfortable and easy to care jacket go rather for an Arctic quilted Carhartt work line Duck jacket or so at half price or less instead, just my opinion.
Cheers

Can't go wrong with Carhartt!For the real tough jobs I still got my Carhartt Arctic Traditional Coat...that did cost me 70,- bucks at a local retailer...

Love my brown caboose so much that I had to get it in black as well. Also got it in a size smaller. Going to be a little tight, but should work for me.

This grainy Lost Worlds Suburban is coming my way. Siked! Bought here on TFL:
Will be my first serious jacket, I owned an 80's/90's Lewis Leathers Monza that was nice but a whole different league leather and construction wise I think.

Yours looks way better then the pics on their website. How did you get the sizing right? According the sizing table on the website a size 42 has 26.8' back length, which seems a bit long for a cossack.

This is a standard size 40. I would probably have the length of the 38, but It is acceptable. You could Just order one with your specific measurements if you want to.
