winter is over and the weather is warming, time to store my b3. is this a good garment bag for it https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CXCSJXQ6?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

btw where did you get that vest? it looks awesome

those are definitely beautiful, but as someone else stated, likely used a far better finish than that of schott which is more akin to a fashion jacket

gotcha, thanks for the info. You just posted one of my dream coats. One day i'm gonna grab that rough wear. absolute beauty, i much prefer it over the seal brown ones for practical reasons though i was getting a goatskin made with fur lining. hopefully it won't be over 2 kgs. love the eastman...

ahhh okay gotcha. well you seem to know a lot, what do you think of this OLDER schott?

the photo i posted? that was 1 month. i could literally rub off the finish with my bare hands and minimal force. a car seatbelt would literally peel the finish clean off. it's not a very good finish. I highly recommend seeking a sheepskin from another maker that uses a better finish

yeah i am actually getting a shearling lined goatskin one made as we speak since i dislike the fading. i don't like suede so i want something to last hope mine ends up under 2 kgs though

pretty much, yeah. i just posted asking about the durability of it actually. now, some finishes are more durable than others and I have seen actual leather exterior sheepskins like this one here, but on the second picture you can see the fading of the leather of a schott

acrylic spray on finish

found this old looking schott b3 for sale online. Anybody know when it was made? looks pristine. I am curious if these older ones had a more resistant finish rather than what schott uses today which runs off very fast

does thicker fur = thicker leather too? For instance, if something like eastman uses 3/4 or 18mm inch shearling, would the leather side ALSO be thicker than something that uses 12 or 15mm like their b6?

thanks. I sent an email asking about a recommended size based on my measurements, so i am hoping they can offer insight since they don't have a precise chart to view

thanks, but more like 36

both have pros and cons. While I do agree the d-1 looks cooler, i really like the action back as i like having something more comfortable and easy to move in
