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

This 40s deerskin came in 4 or 5 months ago first time posting. The deerskin is fairly thick with no flacking the finish with a rather raw feeling. I had the jacket dry cleaned and removed the lining. I know it is large on me I may relocate the cuff and ****** buttons. I think the jacket was intended to fit large. If I move the ****** buttons, the patch pockets and yoke will not be centered

I was just thinking earlier today now I'm now doomed with not being able to switch to leather pants altogether because I can't wear leather pants and a cross zip and I can't wear the hat with leather pants and maybe it's best to just leave it at home if I'm wearing anything else leather. But it's such a cool hat! Well, it will find it's use next summer, once the jacket season ends.
Wear the hat Monitor.
It will become a piece of you faster than you can imagine.
Maybe head to toe leather is a bit much, idk, but head to waist and boots is you, imho.

Here is my latest arrival, and honestly probably my first "big" purchase of a leather jacket, a Vanson CHP2. I tend to be a frugal person who thrifts a lot of stuff, so this was a new change.

I have been searching for a CHP style jacket for a couple months and was not having any luck. For the past couple weeks, I had daily search updates for ebay, etsy, and poshmark, with several brands. Finally I typed in "Vanson Leather Jacket Craigslist" in Google and this popped up on the other side of the country. Seller was willing to ship it to me, and it arrived yesterday. Fits really well, and I am very excited to wear it more, especially as we get into the colder seasons.

yea, nice to have smaller leather item to wear where the season is too much for leather jacket, wearing all textile looks dull sometime leather add some sheen to the outfit

Congratulations!
My first cross zip was a Vanson CHP2 and it was one hell of a jacket. Very cool that the belt is included as well since I had to purchase mine separately.

+1 on that CHP Vanson. It's just a simple, easy to wear, well built, utilitarian jacket. No fuss and I like it. No little bells/whistles/extra bits to be concerned with. And I was stupidly considering selling mine a few months ago. Not letting it go, also given mine was built with the little underarm footballs. Wish they still made them like that but no luck.

^^ yep, I hope it's not too noticeable in real life or maybe I'll dye it black to kinda hide it? T Mitchell had one of these and he liked them also that recent birds of prey post had me pull the trigger.
