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

    I assumed that was the one!

    Haha the first such photo I posted here was in response to you.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    Looks the same but the pattern wears smaller.

    Vanson tag on the zipper pull. I think the Momoa one was also Vanson.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    I was at the LA Schott store yesterday to try on the 618HH in the new thicker horsehide (feels identical to the hide on the 613SH), and discovered that both jackets seem to run a size smaller now. Where the 618HH ran slightly bigger than the 613SH (due to the underarm footballs and slightly...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Bad photo but stunning, like-new women’s suede Californian at American Rag in LA for $250. There’s a rich golden cast to it in real life.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    I don’t think it’s Horween but I think those zippers mean it’s comp weight horsehide.

    BESOIN D'AIDE LOST WORLDS LEATHER POUR LA MOTO!

    I would imagine thick goat would behave similarly to moose in this respect, with high strength and abrasion resistance plus pliability. Maybe LW’s goat could fit the bill for OP.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Beck 333 repro, full of French seams and other accurate construction techniques. If it were a size bigger I would have bid right now.

    Five Star jackets cost 20% of anywhere else to begin with.

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    I think it does, due to an uncanny valley effect, but it doesn’t actively look cheap like the Fine Creek Leon does.

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    Interesting! The Montgomery Wards I've seen have had a lower ticket pocket, but I've never doubted he has a historical basis for where it is. I just don't like it for proportion reasons. (Much like how I don't like most motorcycle cross-zips that have no belt, waistband, or belt loops–ends up...

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    I must admit, the Speed Demon is extremely underwhelming to me. I'm sure it's exceptionally well made, but on a purely aesthetic level, the layout makes it look like a no-name cheapo Perfecto–specifically that extremely high ticket pocket. That said, as much as I dislike it personally, I...

    BESOIN D'AIDE LOST WORLDS LEATHER POUR LA MOTO!

    He said above that he got a horsehide LW which is why that’s his basis for comparison for asking about their deerskin.

    BESOIN D'AIDE LOST WORLDS LEATHER POUR LA MOTO!

    I believe he meant it in the sense of the French valeur, which could indicate quality or how good it is. So he's asking if LW's deerskin is as good as the horse.

    Field Leathers

    The only ceramic model I really liked was the first ceramic Sea-Dweller (not the 2017 one which is basically just trying to be a Supersize Submariner), which had 5 digit case dimensions with a fully graduated ceramic bezel. I would still prefer an aluminum bezel but it looks so much better than...

    Field Leathers

    Haha if I had been given a brand new 4/5 digit model with the beautiful matte aluminium bezel instead of a shiny ceramic one, I’d drop to my knees in prayer… (Not to detract from your point lol)

    Field Leathers

    I'm not at all suggesting you didn't behave properly, so I apologise if I gave that impression at all. I was just saying it might have been easier for you to email Sam at that stage asking for the zipper mistake to be corrected. It's still not a big deal considering you're UK based so you don't...
