Way too hot for a jacket today, but happily making good use of a Pike Brothers vest in "Salt'n'pepper" fabric. Love it in combination with my Akubra hat and a light shirt.
As it's rather hard to get belts with Horween leather in EU I can share my experience with Balabanoff goods in Ukraine:

The belt I ordered from him also came with a buckle from Klamra (Also Ukraine, already mentioned them on this thread). Got a cool belt hanger as...
I've sent a jacket for alteration exactly once.
A Vanson B that was incredible in every way except it was too wide in the waist, a bit too narrow in the chest and too narrow in the sleeves, especially elbows.
The tailor in Poland cut out parts of the waist and sew them into the sleeves to make...
Same chick that was selling this one now has another one in the same size for 400eu haha.

Welcome David! Very nice first post! Can't help you much myself but others will definitely chime in. Good luck with the search! Would love to see some pics and fit pics of your vintage Schott.
It was some brown suede/nubuck jacket with a mandarin collar. I think I started wearing it when I was around 15-16. Wore it when I lived in Stockholm for a year. Wore it when I live in Morocco for 3 months.
Visited my mom a few weeks ago and found the jacket. Threw it out.
Was always way too big...
Happy Bday! Slap a cool patch on that spot and be happy you came out with so relatively little in terms of issues. Getting some compensation would be a nice bonus for sure. I trust what @Aloysius says about the shoulders.

Vanson C2 34 for 60eu. Great condition despite a few zippers being missing.
Very cool to see all of them in one thread.
Thank you for sharing!
Now I dare you to do consistent fit pics with all of them!

I'd say around 8 jackets have gone through me since I joined. Out of...
