The brown hides were similar across many brands in those models/years. My Brooks and Kehoe brown jackets were the same feel as well. My schott was different.
Since you are close by, I think you should go for a visit. I believe that meeting Dave in person and feeling the jackets on your body will answer the question for you. The internet is full of hype- both good and bad.
My “lifetime” jacket was made by John Chapman (Goodwear), and I consider him...
I personally prefer vintage Racer jackets to new ones. there are so many cool ones out there for great prices. As a thin fellow, you would do well going for a second hand one.
I usually spray with vinegar/water too. My understanding is that for smoke you really need an ozone machine.
If the spray-down doesn't work, soaking in the tub with some mild detergent might.
