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

[Jin431]

@JCSD had a Gap Suede Trucker he thought would fit me very well and let me know. All the measurements look good, only PTP is in that zone of well in some makes and models it’s fine, in others it’s a touch big. But hey if it is a touch large I’ll sell it for what I got it for and someone will be really happy. But JCSD is not only awesome for reaching out about it I told him with my wedding fast approving (September) and trying to pay everything off; I wouldn’t have payment until this coming Thursday or Friday when I get paid. I said list it if you want and if it sells I will not cry haha. He said hey man I totally understand that I’ll hold it until then. This is why I love dealing internally with other TFL members. We don’t lie, try to rip off, or extort others. And often times make deals we would never do for outsiders. So got that on the horizon!

@JCSD is stand up guy. Guys our size should definitely stick together!

Hey so are you! We’ve dealt back and forth and you recently reached out. Just that one was a little out of my price range with the wedding coming up. Otherwise I would have given that one a shot too. We absolutely need to stick together.

@Blackadder got it, I thought you were on the hunt for one but that haul makes it more than enough straight zip chp style jacket




I always wanted a black badalassi jacket, @Robbie79 has one that he should be wearing more of (I do understand the issues with jacket rotation lol)

I'm sure we will not be disappointed with the leather. Good luck with the Hercules order @Tom71



This is me. Super excited on this project.

Black Badalassi with Grey or Black "Wild Card" lining.
It's a 4 pocket cafe racer w/ August collar (Sheene) with hwm details.
Zip sleeve like a cafe racer.
Nickel hardware Talon.
Chest pocket (ring pull) slanted like the board racer.
Hand warmers with bell pull zippers (close position towards the waistband).
No internal/external kidney panel.
No hwm yoke but w/ shoulder gusset (basically 1 piece back like how I like it).
Hidden size tag.
Thunder Bay label.
Steer hide label to bottom hem.
Internal pocket with snap.




How did you like it? I want a Badalassi FL jacket but at this rate I won't get it until next Fall.

Oh it has been a long hunt. I just have never found a Muholland at the right price.

Yes you guys should stick together. You don’t want to come into the range of @JMax and @John D Maccarter and myself. It’s savage. Right there in the meaty part of the curve. It’s dog eat dog! Every time I see something I think “oh ****, these guys are an hour ahead and probably saw it first”. LOL

I hope to get lucky for a black one in my size too. Hope you get yours too.

lol you guys are so funny with that but always end up making great deal/trades too

Same. This is me after someone posts a jacket I lost out on—

 

[TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead]

scored this for $78 all in. Has a glaring red marker stain, so we'll see. Going to hit it with an eraser as step 1, wire brush step 2, shampoo step 3, and dye a darker brown as last resort. The **** I'm doing during covid to pass time.

Snagged a Vanson Royale Enfield today. Been looking around for something like this for a while. Supposedly originally purchased last year w limited wear. Measurements look right, fingers crossed for the fit.

I was close on that one too but the 17.5” shoulder...way too trim. I’ve worn the model B in a 40” and it was tight but wearable. It’ll be interesting to see how this compares.

My impressions from reading are that Vanson tends to be at or larger than true to size, so if anything it may be bigger than I need. Intensely curious now! Will share deets on arrival of course.

Post pics! Seems like a new Vanson is almost unobtainable.

For sure will post once it gets here along with measurements for reference. I’ve only handled one other Vanson- it was a Horsehide Ike that was too small and built like a beautiful russet tank.

After nearly three years in my favs list I finally caved. Wasn’t cheap. Hope it fits!

I just love my other Windward so much. Figured this would be a nice compliment to it. Reminds me a lot of Dinero’s LHB in the Irishman.

wow! Older label yeah!?

It is! I think this label predates the one in my winter Windward:

The jacket I proxied for Marc has this label too:

That´s exactly what I pictured in my mind... Incidentally, I saw "Miller´s Crossing" last night, and the jacket would have fitted just as nicely. With this jacket, they´re gonna call you "Bathtub-Tony" in these mean streets of yours...

Definitely a cool pair and it is so fitting that you get to wear this in Chicago, the jacket looks right at home in your city.

What a cool guy wearing a cool jacket.

These vintage long HB’s are more forgiving with regard to length. I loved the shorter one Marc bought but that length is just too short for me and so many of the traditional HB’s hit me in just the same way.
