Might be wise yeah.
Although most leather I see on the 5* website don't impress me at all.
What would you consider "proven hides"? I already have one in the premium black goat, want to try something different if I end up ordering again.
Both the distressed buffalo (basically...
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but do you guys think this is worth picking up?

Seems like it might fit me, but after reading about how horrible the LC jackets are I think it might be...
Hey folks!
Please help ID or find more info on this Schott:

Looks cool, price is good, seems like the measurements might be ok for me.
Just can't find any info on this model LC2142.

Has anyone ever had a jacket made out of any of these leathers?
Thinking I would go for one of these if I go for another 5*:

Looks awesome! How long have you had the jacket? CXL steer? Now they charge 200gbp extra for this leather, mainly because they are discontinuing it I heard. Received a sample of it - blown away even by the sample. So awesome to see it on a well worn jacket!
@Marc mndt
Yup, his FB/IG pictures are even more sketchy than his communication.
What seems strange to me is that he also sells various known maker jackets and Vanson lists him as a retailer/dealer.
Hard to believe that Vanson would deal with anyone who would be pushing aliexpress copies as his...
Yeah I talked to them already. Of course they don't have anything my size - doesn't make sense for resellers/dealers to stock such small sizes. They are also very reluctant to order anything my size for me. Would not accept returns even if they did order it for me.
On a related note : found...
I found a list of European dealers on Vanson website, but, as expected, it's not up to date.
Received a funny response from one of the dealers mentioned in that list:
"Sorry we stopped our collaboration with them 10 years ago
Their website is not updated"
I've been thinking about trying to get an Vanson every since I joined this forum. Just heard way too many good things about them. Does anyone know whether there is any possibility to buy them in Europe? Not talking about buying used, but rather some resellers. Contacted Vanson directly with this...
If you're asking people for an opinion on the fit then at least make the minimum effort of actually providing good quality pictures from varied angles.
@jacketjunkie Yes, I guess I misinterpreted honest constructive criticism as simply bashing on my chosen maker and model. My bad, no doubt you veterans are in the right. I'll try to keep this thread (and other threads) clean of my foolishness.
In terms of your suggested regarding Schott 618 -...
@Aloysius I'm not angry, I appreciate constructive feedback. Haven't heard any from you yet. But It's fine, I've had my share of people like you. Like I said, reflective of the real world. Prevents this from becoming a pleasant echo chamber.
@Marc mndt @Aloysius
Yes, very nice to have "make my eyes bleed" and "hideous" thrown at the something I'm planning to order. Thank you for your constructive feedback. On the positive side it makes the forum more reflective of the real world where people throw their opinions at you whether you...
@TG3
The "Pacific" is just a one of Simmons Bilt models. The one that I'm planning to order to be more specific.

Canuck Panda mentioned me because it is quite similar to your lovely FL jacket.
If I can get a similar look and fit - I'll be a very happy...
Gorgeous!
Found some back pictures and story as well:

The back is also like the Pacific.
Made me think about adding zippers on the handwarmer pockets for the Pacific.

@Al 916
From what I've seen online and handled in person their production seems pretty fantastic, especially if you are into the whole early 20th century roleplaying thing. But it's a bit more Peaky-Blinders-esque or European/British/German workwear than the more popular American heritage stuff...
I've got a vest in this fabric.
The main reason why I decided to buy it when I was visiting Berlin is because it felt so thick and durable.
Like it was actually made for working.
Quite stiff initially too.
I would compare it to 20oz+ heavyweight denim.
Especially in terms of it actually needing...
