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

Picked this LW Grizzly up on the Bay this week in a size 44. Granted my Covid weight needs to be dealt with and will be but once the "too much sitting and not enough walking" is taken care of I should have a decent fit.

Did you watch Schitts Creek by chance? I was a skeptic and thought it would be super cheesy (which it was, but in a good way) or too lame and overhyped. My fiancé really wanted to watch though. So this past month we binged and it was actually so good. Alright now back to the regularly scheduled program.

Absolutely loved the show!

2 lost world grizzlies re-homed in the same week. I love your cow hair version. I got the puffy one, now I match my dog. Enjoy your new jacket. I’ll try to get some fit pics up this weekend as requested by others.

Another Vanson coming my way to replace the Model J I sold. Third time trying a medium Chopper as each one seems to fit ever so slightly different even though measurements are pretty similar. Jumping up to the 42 didn't work as it's just too wide in the waist and long back length.

This STF Bootlegger size 42 in CXL Horsehide came from a successful TFL trade for a well broken in regular size 40 HWM in the same hide and color. The waist straps are loose.

The STF BL is a very sung me on me but not constricting. The first time I been without an HWM in twenty years, wanted to try something different. I had a regular cut size 44 bootlegger that I sold after years of use due to the large on me sizing.

This 1950s Trojan came in last week from buyee. It has issues and I have filed a case with paypal, substantialy not as described. When I have spare time I will do a review on its own thread. This is the most money in nominal numbers I have paid for a jacket. Graned in buying power considering inflation I paid more for my buco J-24 about 12 years ago

Sad to hear this. I love the often forgotten colorful and sometimes two tone jackets of the 50s and 60s. They are so rock n roll. I wanted to hear a great write up. I feel sorry for you brother. Hope the case works out and I’ll wait for your review

Sorry to hear about the issues with this jacket. I do hope you can get it resolved.
It does indeed look really cool at least! :)

After a week or so of hammering out details with Aero, my deposit for a brown wool grizzly in cordovan HH has been paid today. Probably won't get it until the spring, so I won't get much use out of it until after summer. Image per the Aero website, I think the cordovan will be very interesting against the brown mouton, as opposed to the brown HH (which also looks very good)
