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

Never to be seen again.

Tenjin works? Beautiful! Best natural leather jacket on the market imo.

Be careful over there. Check in every few hours to let us know you are okay.

I'm in and out like lightning!

Hippie flares...? LOL

Completely hippie! They cover the boot!

Those Bates pants are cool. I don't like flares, but it's subtle enough.

Ugh... Leather pants thread got moved to a weird part of TFL but here's the link in case anyone's interested. Bates pants arrived today and they deserve to be seen!

Did you get the whole ensemble? I'd love to see the matching jacket!

Nah, just these. I know that the belt was a part of the set but I didn't get it either. I'll try to track one down. I can have Aero make me one, it's essentially the same.

Opps . . . wrong thread

Hey Carumba! Palm trees just like the backdrop scene in "The Rookie" (which became a light entertainment favourite here)

(Another) nice jacket...

Yes, I agree. I'm really excited about this one. Looking forward to a "project" jacket that will change dramatically over time. Also, since this is cowhide, it should be much softer and more comfortable than most of my jackets which are horsehide.

I'm considering this Eastman Leather Mechanic Type D-1 but due to my lack of experience with both Eastman and shearling jackets, I'm not sure if 375€ is a reasonable price for an Eastman D-1 in this "good" condition. The owner told me that no cleaning is necessary (no odors) and also no repairs are necessary, just the shearling is a bit worn on sleeves and hem. I wonder if cleaning in a bathtub with warm water and detergents is possible or if extra chemical dry cleaning is necessary. I was also in discussing with John Lever about his RMC B-3 but I'm not sure about sizing (42) and also if the B-3 is too thick/warm for our climate. D-1 or B-6 might be a better choice. I was even thinking about Thedi's thinner modified B-3 jacket. What do you guys think? Thanks!

I think the price is okay if the jacket is in top condition. New they also cost over 1000 EUR.

Finding a bunch of good deals on Yahoo Japan auctions has been distracting, so I decided to buy one of the jackets there to see what the process ended up being like.

Not really sure who the maker is.. It has this label:

Which I think I have seen used by some makers like Sugar Cane. Anyway, it was around $60, and I like steerhide, so I bid on it. Although I'm expecting to probably end up paying that much anyway when shipping costs and proxy services come due.

Just NO!!! Don't soak shearling jacket! Never, EVER! Don't even think about it!

The jacket looks perfectly fine as it is & it's a steal at that price. There's nothing that can happen to these jackets. They're plasticized on the outside and there's wool on the inside. Dirt can't get thru one way or the other. You're good. But DON'T soak shearling for God's sake!

30% off cyber monday sale still going at Ciano Farmer, so I just ordered one of these in a custom fit with chocolate brown stitching. :

I also added some olive duck canvas chinos (I love the Miner fit) and threw-in a few t0shirts (no experience with these, but the price is certainly good!)
