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

Taken a chance on this for a reasonable price on ebay, will be moving it on in the classifieds if its a bit small, which it quite possibly could well be. Will post my own pics and/or a For Sale thread when it arrives later this week. Does anyone have any idea what model number it is - the listing just described it as a 'Lightning', but of course it has the
padded shoulders etc? edit - a bit of research has revealed that this is a LL 'Nevada' which it seems was a variation on the Lightning made in the 70s/early 80s

Wow, nice find! Never heard of that one before. A bit like a "Star Lightning" on steroids. The multi-panel back is a bit of a turn-off, but the rest is just superb!

Yes Im interested to see whats what when it turns up. Funnily enough, usually I would immediately steer clear of a multi panel back, but this one I think has a nice design and looks pretty cool

Figured I would check out a Walter Dyer, to see how these jackets are. I don't have it yet. Might be a catch and release, IDK...spotty info about it. I just took a chance that it might be cool. Not sure if the patch/applique on the back would come off easily or not but....will see.

Have this Sugar Cane sitting in the warehouse waiting for another piece to arrive.

Growing up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula hitting a deer with your vehicle is like a rite of passage. It's not a matter of if, rather simply when. Time for my revenge:

In my experience, the deer in TX are much dumber than the deer in CO. Sounds like the MI deer are like those in TX. All jackets and vests should be made of TX/MI deer.

I actually own a Native American deer jacket made by a master craftsperson who has been making handmade jackets for more than 30. She picks the best leather but never "ID" the deer. Deer is just a top choice for leather jackets. By the way, I lent the deer my USO sn-3 scope to go with his fine-tune *****. lol

Old school and solid scope. Well equipped dumb-*** deer.

I'd like to get a Sunburst in dark seal Vicenza (or any other really dark brown) with off-white stitching (or possibly a Mulligan), but the recent price hikes mean that this won't happen anytime soon. In the meantime, though, I have some others to be breaking in. I also quite want a supply jacket from Rogue Territory.

Mind sharing pics of the jacket, would love to see it

I decided to give a Lesco jacket a try and see how they are. Waiting on the seller to ship so hoping there are no issues between there and here.

You going to like it. They are thicker than most CR. They also run in the smaller sizes like all of the CR of that period.

Sure, I will take it out of the closet when I get a chance. The jacket is a half-belt design in natural color. I also have a trucker type she also made. Her family has been crafting jackets for generations.

Seller was specific with sizing. I have some tiny doubts but if it’s not as advertised and too small, hopefully eBay will back me up and force a refund. Fingers crossed it works!
