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

[suitecasehandler]

it looks great on you!

Thank, it's first time I went for such a short jacket but I think it's working out well

Second of the day (and last one for a long time!)

I've had one like that since '89. I still wear it.

Cool! I've seen your comments on it when I was considering this one. This one is one of the older models, by what I gathered from this Forum. The label seems to be one of the older ones

The problem is that the person from who I bought said they didn't know the size (all of the pictures had that small size tag folded), and gave me some misleading measurements, so I didn't notice that the jacket is one size bigger than I should've gone with... Now it is huge on me hahaha

Three boxes today. The Durable is on my back, but unzipped. I can say this; not all hype. this one is c.1950, 50s zipper pull, 40s Talon stop box, pre nylon lining.

This jacket would have been fairly new when The Wild Ones was filmed, 1952.

I did measure the sleeve zippers, 8 inches. They always stand out to me. The jacket is robust, no nonsense motorcycle jacket.

Much more to come.

That's a winner. To me this jacket somehow bridges the gap between motorcycle rider and fighter pilot. The hardware us amazing, and the sleeve taper is beautiful. This jacket has a lot of class.

G&B finally shipped my new flight jacket today. Fed-Ex has it now. Next Wednesday delivery with any luck.

Yes, class is an excellent description.

Love the thick panel around the hem, breaks up the design visually and give a nice balance! Very cool jacket!

70s or 80s(?) British-made lancer-style motorcycle jacket, bought on somewhat of a whim.

Even if it fits I'm not sure what I've bought it for. Except I like it.

 

[borisna]

Should be here in a couple of days!!

Just got Schott 135 delivered, unfortunately it doesn't look like a good fit at all

Looks too big fro you all around, is there no cuff adjustment on that model either? The sleeves look quite wide with nothing to cinch it in.

No adjustments unfortunately, it's too big in every dimensions pretty much.
Will try layering with a thickest flannel shirt I have just no to regret selling but 99% will end up in classifields

Vanson horsehide Enfield. Like new condition. Looks like the original owner kept it well.

That’s no Enfield, that’s it’s superior big brother the OXFORD 9D!

Damn it, no wonder it looks like my model B with a collar. Price was too good to pass given the new ish condition. Heard a lot about Vanson horsehides, finally found one.
