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

[ABCD]

That's a very good question. Many were second hand (some slight, some more severe fit issues). The three I had custom made I sold because:

LOL...In all honesty my tastes for crosszips started to dry up. But I've found myself thirsty again. I'd really like to try another one of Aero's leather offerings too. I've been through plenty of CXL.

What about a Thedi 'Bootleggger' (mtc-35326398€&@)
Choose some fancy leather, maybe add a mouton. I'm pretty sure Theodoros knows how to make a snap button cuff. Why not? Thedi's zippers are unbreakable

That looks awesome but I’m also afraid those sleeves might be too tight for Tony’s arms

I do really like Thedi’s stuff, but I love Aero’s 50’s block. It’s my jam.

Langlitz Bootleggger. More than enough room for Tony's ***s.

This photo keeps on giving. What was Langlitz thinking. Especially because their Japan photos are seriously cool!

That is seriously unappealing! Good thing the Japanese know how to market the jackets better lol

Yes! The BL master is back! I can't wait to know what leather you choose! You're BL reviews is what made me get one! I'm one for asking Aero to have a stock removable mouton collar be placed since you are such a regular customer

 

[navetsea]

It arrived. I’m done ladies and gents

exposed zip tape looks cool, congrats

Working my way way through what will undoubtedly be my final bootlegger order. At this point I am only sure of these things.
1. It won’t be CXL
2. It will have a quilted liner. Petrol blue or Evergreen.
3. Snap button cuffs

I'm dreaming about them now. Flat brown or tumbled brown or black CXL, standard no button cuffs with storm cuffs. Quilted lining, mouton collar and cut pretty short.

Perhaps an idea is not to sell things immediately, but to archive them and come back to them later?
It works pretty well for me. Since I don't like the sales process as such, I keep a lot. And it is not uncommon for me to remember after a long time that I still have this and that and there is a revival.
However, if this revival is short-lived, then it really is time to pass things on.

@ton312 I totally agree with @MrProper I make it the same way and sometimes after one year or longer when I come to the conclusion that I probably will never wear it for some reason I'm selling it but sometimes there is a revival as Mr Proper said.

I think Aero or Thurston should introduce a leather jacket subscription service for customers like ton. Where you lease the jackets instead of buying them. And once a month you get a new jacket delivered and send back the old one. Need for trying out new jackets satisfied without the hassle of selling and buying.

I said the exact same thing to @Monitor yesterday An Aero jacket lease service.

Great idea. This leasing model already exists for other clothing and I think it can be adapted to high quality leather jackets (following link is only in German language): https://unown-fashion.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrcKuoo3z7gIVS_lRCh0KIwWtEAAYASAAEgIPJ_D_BwE

I would do that 100% if I could have some hand in the design

Yes I agree and there’s certainly at least a few pieces I should’ve done that with. For the most part I don’t have any selling regrets, certain styles have run their course. I don’t see myself going back to M/C styles for example. But...to not have a cross zip of any kind....that’s a crime against oneself.

"Aye but could ye make yer mind up" would be the $64,000 question ?

Oh for sure. Many times over. Across the entire range.
