Save me from this thing. It's eating into my suit time as I can't stop wearing it. It is too cool. It indeed is ⛧sweet as cherry⛧.
Schott Perfecto 613, size 38 in a post-apocalyptic, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome condition. Final boss of worn in jackets. Ultra pro max patina & character.
There's so much wrong with it I don't even know where to begin. . .
► Leather - Surprisingly enough, all good for the most part except for the cuffs, where the leather has been eaten through. Rest of it is faded as fu*k but no damage. Some scuffs here and there, some light abrasions, etc. but nothing substantial. Soft, pliable and healthy.
► Lining - Multiple repairs to the body lining. I am absolutely in love with the choice of the material for the sleeve repair. This jacket has been loved.
► Pockets - All the pocket bags have been replaced. Coin pocket lining has been replaced with fleece!
► Hardware - Some work, some don't. Main zipper is fully operational. Sleeve zippers work. Pocket zippers... One works relatively fine. Others don't seem to want to budge.
That's all I can think of at the moment but there might be more.
Regardless, functionally, the jacket is absolutely wearable. As such. Just pick it up where it had been left off and let it take care of the rest.
Size 38 and that's pretty much how it fits and it is a miracle the size tag survived. The approximate measurements, taken to the best of my abilities, are...
• Chest width: 55 cm / 21.5"
• Waist width: 47 cm / 18.5"
• Shoulders width (back): 47 cm / 18.5"
• Sleeve length: 65 cm / 25.5"
• Back length (w/o collar): 58 cm / 23"
I'm listing this jacket in case someone might need it. Piece like this would've been absolutely essential to me and I know I can't be the only one. I mean, Fine Creek based their entire business model on producing jackets that age quickly so a cross-zip that actually has been worn to hell and back will always have its place among any decent biker jacket collection.
I had a CAL CHP like this around which I used to base entire outfits but I never really felt right pretending to live this sort of lifestyle.
I don't go to concerts. I don't go clubbing. I don't party. I don't go to bars. I don't drink (well, I do shitload of drugs but that's hardly a social thing). I don't even like sitting on the floor. I hate it!
I wanted to like all that stuff but I don't. Which is why I wear only suits now and I feel better than ever in suits. Fu*k it. But jacket like this makes me want to cosplay this shit so... I need to let go of it.
Price? HMU with offers. Whatever the jacket is worth to you. And it's okay whether you see it as an unwearable piece of trash or a deeply loved leather jacket that has accompanied someone throughout some of the best moments of their life. Which it must have.
I can guarantee you one thing: It does make impact.
Shipping from the EU. PP/FF. Thanks and bye.
