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

Lets see it

Getting my SJC 33 back from Dena, she added 2” banded leather cuffs and navy blue storm cuffs to Mach the main zipper tape. As usual, her work is simply magnificent.

Yep, that gave me inspiration for when I had my Schott Rancher trucker from the 80s. There's a thread on here about it as well. It had a stain I couldn't get out and was overall too small anyway. But the tub wash did wonders. And I think I used some shampoo as well, or maybe the Angelus. But either way, have no fear.

Seeing those great results, and having washed many leather jackets in soapy water, I am more and more convinced that "DRY CLEAN ONLY" is some ****/collusion between leather garment makers and dry cleaners...

It's not always a success, one time I actually ruined a jacket. I washed out the tannins, ending up with an ugly dull hide. The body length shrunk by almost 3 inches (while the lining wad still original length).

Vegetable tanned leathers are trickier than chrome tanned. Lambskin being the trickiest.

Put my order in for an Aero Highwayman in seal vicenza leather on 25th of october and got a shipping notification yesterday. I was expecting a 16 week wait but this exceeds my expectations.

Also in the process of ordering a Simmons Bilt tailgunner in Blattwerk brown.

Star Glove. Stopped lying to myself. Stopped telling myself that I could go on without one in the closet. Just one or two more jackets that I have in my mind to own, then I’ll pull a quasi-A1.

Lovely job. I see on the latest version of the 33, Simon has added a leather top to the collar; it would be nice to see cuffs and perhaps the halfbelt in leather too as detailing. Useful mod to be able to do if the cuffs were to fray, as well.

@jpk_NJ I gave this levis trucker a gentle handwash with regular shampoo.

Midwest Sport Togs Deerskin came in today. Traditional half-belt styling you don't see often in deerskin with the beautiful lining. I have a Milco-West in the same half-belt style but had to try this one on. A bit small for me, but will be a very nice fitted half-belt for someone.

A beautiful one Terry. I was an inch away from the BIN after waiting for clarification of the measurements. Congrats!

Yes, it is!

That back is cool!
The sleeves on this are also different for Greg- more like my Walter Dyer.

That is awesome!
Now is this one that you had had your eye on for awhile or just a spur of the moment thing?

Somehow, a bit of both. About to post some pics in the Cal thread. The website is acting up again on my phone. Been trying for the last 15 minutes. Lol. Anyways, incredible jacket. Don’t fit, but incredible.
