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

funny, I was looking at 70s jackets this morning too:

This reversible number has me thinking too. Nice thing about the 70’s stuff, unless it’s that directional maker, it’s cheap.

The "directional maker" is waay too pricey!
And you need to be a size 36” max. I’ve wanted one in my size since I was in school. Just *****. That really would be the final frontier for me. Maybe that’s why it’ll never happen. I wish a western maker would take up the genre. I couldn’t swallow the $3-4K for a South Paradiso, as cool to the nuts as they were.And my comms with ELS was so broken and f’d up I lost interest.

Not sure where to ask this, but since most of the experts seem to spend some time around here…

I’m thinking about a trucker style jacket in roughout.

Currently in the running are:

- Schott Duke
- Iron Heart 49J
- The Shop Vancouver Chore Shirt x Y’2
- vintage Levis

Any opinions or additions?

Thanks all!
The Iron Heart split-steer rough out is insane. Bordering on too heavy/thick but It's one of the best made garments I've ever encountered.

I can help you with ELS if you want

I received my Schott 125, which happens to be a Schott 615. I can't really say how old it is. It is not from the 2010s, the main zipper is YKK (with no mention of Schott) and the sleeve zippers are Ideal.

It was in good condition, except on two points : the laces were completely destroyed (easy to replace) and the right belt loop had lost most of its black coating (a subtle coat of quality black polish has corrected it and it looks now OK, at least less noticeable).

That Vanson is the quilted Colorado! I don't think they offer it anymore....nice score!

Thanks man! It’s been sitting there for quite some time with no bids, just relisting again and again. I finally caved in. Been looking at it for a while. I’m not sure but I think Vanson still has it, looked at their site a few days ago.
