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

[Salmosalar]

Pulled the trigger on three Aeros before the end of the sale…..a Shackleton in badalassi, a Coastal Command Irvin and an Outlaw vest…now the waiting starts!

@AerGuitar 50s Halfbelt arrived. Fit is so good. Just bananas good. Looks great and passes the cellphone to ear test w flying colors.

This is what I had kinda given up on from Aero. Jacket already having some decent wear helps but it’s also a much better pattern for me than the other Aero models I’ve tried.

Quick shots this afternoon. Too warm with the tweed lining for today but looking forward to using it in cooler temps!

(Ps if anyone is interested in my vanson Ike will probably be posting it for sale soon now that this has arrived)

IMO the best looking (and fitting) jacket on you. SUPERB! Literally perfect! And I agree setting the Ike free s a good call. No comparison. Looks like you were born to wear this one!

Always a great feeling when one comes and works out that well. Looks great.

Too cheap to pass up. Typically see this brand with fringed jackets. This is more my speed.

Epic collar! I’d personally be more likely to wear a slightly more tame collar but the appeal is undeniable, love this design through all it’s iterations

That collar is a sight to behold! I hope it fits. Honestly this style isn’t really my thing anymore but I couldn’t pass it up based on the price.

This one came in yesterday and just as described. Good candidate for some simple repairs for use as a nice beater. It’s too small for me (I knew it would be).

Me in Ken's (and before that, a WWII airman's) jacket next week.

 

[Blackadder]

I have this coming in. A Montgomery Ward. This one is likely to be too large for me but I have to give it a try as the price is very reasonable. Flaws as far as I can see are only the broken zipper pulls on the sleeves (zipper still works) and torn lining at a few places.

Did you say too large? Remember me BA, remember me.

Sadly, I think mine has the same measurement as yours. Around 18 inch shoulder, 23 p to p according to the seller. I am hoping it will fit if I wear a sweater or a hoodie.

I also got tempted by that 10% discount on Aero and I've ordered on Friday a Kelpie Brown Hooch Hauler. Blackened brown also looked cool, so did the high grain seal Jerky... hope I won't regret the leather choice.

I also wanted to check with them if they can "simplify" those vents on the back and reduce the number of panels. Not sure if they have a practical purpose but I think it would look cooler/cleaner with less pieces.

I have the Hooch. The center vent is functional and needed because it’s a very slim cut. The fan back is decorative. But I also doubt they will change the fan back design On the Hooche. There was a time when I swore I wouldn’t wear a vajayjay backed jacket. I’ve eaten my words many times over now.

I hope it works out for you. Incredible jacket. That S2S kills me.

 

[TheWickerMan]

Haha, yeah, the center vent makes sense and I don't mind that one. I'm not 100% sold on the side ones - if they're just decorative.

Me in Ken's (and before that, a WWII airman's) jacket next week.

It’s a size too small and yet the naval jacket pattern with its action back is so good that I have complete freedom of movement with it zipped up to the throat. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered that with a leather jacket before.

I've got a mouton lined trucker jacket coming at some point from Ciano Farmer, but I'm still deciding what fabric to use. I'm not all that enamored with denim these days, especially as winter fabric, and he's got a nice wide wale corduroy.

 

[ton312]

The pièce de résistance of my Halfbelt collection is coming. First up is leather mock up to dial in the fit.

I look very forward to giving a full report on the finished product, which will be done up in a dyed trough black shinki HH.
More details to come
Finished product will be a repro of this jacket in black:

He had some really heavy duck canvas that would make an awesome trucker, as well.
