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

[dubpynchon]

There's a mean ******** sz. 44 in France right now. Cheap, too!

Do you have a link to this? Gotta get my Vanson fix.

my newest arrival almost unworn deerskin from TFL thank you, Terry. This hide reminds me of goatskin

Yes, it is like new. Fits you great!

 

[jonbuilder]

here's one in Japan. Another steal. No one watching it. Only one bid. My closet full otherwise I would have scooped it.

Cal leather Cal leather single jacket 40th / [Buyee] "Buyee" Japanese Proxy Service | Buy from Japan! bot-online

six panels and all and less than outbiding me on the MV would cost net to Europe

With my attempts to branch out from black cross-zips and experiment I picked up that cream deerskin; I’m also picking up this 5 Star. I’ve been wanting a suede or rough out jacket for awhile now. Originally I had wanted the Golden Oak Suede that’s been listed on the Lost Worlds sale page for ages. I emailed Stu and he informed me they’ve been sold out for years. You’d think he would update those listings....ever. In any case I didn’t want to go super expensive with my first attempt and 5 Stars seem to be a great bargain as we all have seen their work plenty now. I went with a stock extra small. I’m not sold on the sizing for me. But I’ve never owned a jacket like this before and since I don’t know how it will fit I wasn’t prepared to go custom. Shawn just said the jackets completed and sent me a bunch of photos I won’t post all of them. Here’s a few. As I said not sure the sizing will work...but since this is a stock extra small it’s returnable. If that is the case it’s basically a test jacket and I’ll have a perfect base of numbers to size off of. I’m hoping I won’t have to and this fits as that saves time, money, and I really just want to wear it!

I REALLY dig this! That color is intense but in a good way. Can't wait to see fit pics. Is the collar black leather? Some photos it had a blue hue.

 

[jonbuilder]

Ha. Do it. I’ll proxy.

Honestly, I’ve never bought from Europe, other than one jacket direct from Monitor. I have sold a couple and sent them to Europe, again direct through TFL.

I have purchased a few vintage jackets from Europe two French 40s horsehide a nice German Healson and a vintage Cal racer from Monito who purchased it from the US and a San Francisco bred Ralphs Pugh from mintvintage. eBay is a US-based company, fair I am concerned anything on eBay is fair game. I ventured into Japan once and got burned. I also picked up some older 80s and 90s Aeros from the UK.

You have to be jocking it not your market it's a world market

Before you get upset, I am joking

It would be nice if we could play by the same rules on that world market though. But that's on our government, not on you

Recently bought an Aero Dustbowl from a fellow Fedora lounger. Really high hopes for that one. Also have my first board racer on the way (again, used) and a vintage Schott CR. Funny, because I only came to the forum to ask advice on a cross-zip (didn't care about other styles then), and now here I am.. Might have not been the best decision to join the forum as far as the wallet is concerned, haha.

Received the 70s Schott CR, which happened to be my first cafe racer as well. The condition is amazing for that age, the jacket fits like a glove, and the blackish brown hide is really beyond description. The jacket is not even broken in! My only qualm is the quilted lining, but maybe it could be replaced. Will try to post pictures at some point in this thread or another.

Well I most certainly am not! I sent an email to Mintvintage AND eBay, demanding that they ban Americans from buying jackets from European market, explaining that they're, in fact, OUR jackets (I mean, Schott? Jozef Buegeleisen? Langlitz? Vanson?) and they agreed as it's the right thing to do. It's time we get our jackets back home, where they belong. You guys can keep GAP.

Dead serious I believe

I haven;t entered the vintage buying game, but looking at how things are, it seems I have no chance, I will be shot down before I even notice it was on lol

BRING LEVI HOME!

 

[Leather Walker]

And then you find something like this...

View attachment 316054

zip and pulls look to be 60s? Damn this is nice. I think this is @Leather Walker jacket but I can’t find the old thread.

Correct This jacket is a beast, I can feel its weight on torso every time I wear it. When it's zipped up, embraces tightly my lower back. Zippers are YYK replacements, but Talon pull remains on #10. Pinholes on lapels, scratches around elbows and back, ruffled cuffs... You can spot marks of many adventures this jacket lived - and still!

yeah right the guy should be tending arc of the covenant, what is he doing making pants in america

I am saying this with a light heart because I expect the isolation comments are sent similarly.

I am positve, we are all free-traders, here...

Thank you. And yep, how the Cals can hug the lower back is spot on. Awesome for riding. I for one would be pretty excited to see more pictures of the jacket.

Maybe it's time for someone else to carry that burden for you.

We must unite, Slavic brethren. Let us not forget from whence Schott hails.

It’s black. I think it’s the white background with whatever lights are on it that give it a bit of the blue hue. Very excited for its arrival. Shawn said it was shipped yesterday. Again fingers crossed it’s as cool as it looks in the photos and the numbers work out. Not too expensive and exchanging it for a full custom is fine. It would only add a slight fee to what I’ve already paid. Not an expensive jacket at all. But it would be a lot more fun and enjoyable if it just works out.
