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

I bought a Schott 174G G-1 in my tag size, fit perfect but is too short in the body. The one pictured is a newer longer style so hopefully it works. On the Schott site my size 52 always adds $200 plus dollars to their standard price, making this one almost $1200. As I mentioned, got a way better deal Otherwise would not have bought it.
I've seen this seller and always wondered about the darker pocket cover. These look like NOS stock for sure. Did you end up getting a 184SML? They are longer in the body and the sleeve. Was the leather uniform and perfect? Were the brass snaps corroded at all? Did the faux collar's number (four digits) match the jacket's number?

I will receive it next week and see the condition. It is a 184SM regular length, this one is 26” in the body and the new ones on Schott are listed as 27”. Hopefully it fits.

For you, I'd always try and get a "LONG", and you'd probably like the fit better. I'm actually just guessing from your earlier comments.

Wasn't looking to buy, but this black Hercules A2 came along. Very nice steerhide by Appalachian Tanned and Tailored. Could replace my Buzz Rickson black A2.

I've just ordered a waxed cotton jacket. Traditional Trialmaster style, you know the drill. But not a Belstaff.

As you may remember, I've always erred towards waxed cotton rather than leather, even though you're probably thinking "who is this bloke again?" because I haven't posted for ages because I haven't worn a jacket at all since about May.

Nevertheless, as a Brit who rumbles about on an old Triumph Bonneville, waxed cotton has always appealed.

So I've just ordered this -

I think it might be quite nice, but I'll let you know, obv.

And if it is nice, I've got a plan...
