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

[navetsea]

Nav, I think you are right. I was playing with how much to chop off the hem when the light of the Lord shined down upon me.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides
By the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
Shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness…
LOL. Church of the Latter Day Wool.

but the length is more workable and less evangelist into a more modern cool cultist charm with the clips

Screwed again by Gibson & Barnes. No email or call by 1600 Pacific Time so I called to get the tracking number.

After being put on hold twice, Rodrigo tells me he doesn't know why my jacket wasn't shipped. Promises to email me when he finds out.

20 minutes later I receive the email telling me my jacket is being 'inspected' before packing and shipping. He says it will ship next week. No day given.

So for the recap:

1. Jacket ordered on 24JAN. Was told it will ship in 3-4 weeks. Great! I think.

2. End of the third week, I call to see how production is coming along. I'm told my order was not even submitted. Haven't even started on production. I almost cancelled the order right then.

3. Told my jacket would be priority and will ship in three more weeks. Email received says it will ship by second week of March.

4. Now shipping third week of March if they don't screw this up again.

I'm a patient man when I'm told the truth. If they had said in the beginning it was going to be 8 weeks, I would have said fine, make me a jacket. But don't lie to me and string me along because your company is incompetent and the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.

There will be no more orders for anything G&B makes.

I waited about a year for my custom (not G & B).
Ended up selling it because it didn’t fit as well as my otr jackets…

I jumped ship into unknown waters. Hope I did OK. Real McCoys full size 44. Never been in the new denim world. Never thought I would do it. I have no idea about these jackets. I've got old ones, but not new like this and expensive.

I love this style. It seemed reasonable to begin with free shipping too, he had offer on it too, the he made me an offer lower than I thought of making the seller. So it is in the mail. $255 delivered.

Don't know anything about denim but that looks nice. Good colour and a couple of cool design tweaks like the vertical pleats.

Just got a new (to me) Aero 1930 HB from a forum fellow! Coming back to UK from US.
I'm thinking about grabbing a cheap A2 by cooper from Vinted as well... Then I realise I don't really need a new jacket, but I want it. WTH?

 

[mvilla]

Ok, it's official... I'm going insane... I just got a Cooper A2 on Vinted because "it was only £30". I don't even know where I'll put it

Thanks to @Canuck Panda , I tried my luck at this auction. I placed a reasonable maximum bid, thinking I would be immediately outbid, but to my surprise, I won.

Thanks to @ClarkRC I have this on it's way to Terminate me

Very nice, look forward to a review. I just bought some Buco jackets. This one looks quite nice.

Thanks! I'm excited by this one. I will have to get some care and feeding instructions on this one. My denim is bought at thrift stores to wear.

To be clear, it's not a vintage Buco, but a repro by RMC. Congrats for finding real ones, they're getting scarce.
