Just got this awesome Schott from From Japan. It's a snap front rancher/trucker style in rough out that I don't see in their current line up.
Paid about $150 CAD all in : )
Any guesses as to age?
Not sure where to ask this, but since most of the experts seem to spend some time around here…
I’m thinking about a trucker style jacket in roughout.
Currently in the running are:
- Schott Duke
- Iron Heart 49J
- The Shop Vancouver Chore Shirt x Y’2
- vintage Levis
Any opinions or additions...
Was sorely tempted by their N1, but in the end went with Buzz Rickson’s, partly due to price but mostly due to the fact that their fits generally work better for me than Usonian ones, unlike most the crew around here!
Not saying their prices are low, just that in the interest of lowering their own costs and maximizing their profits they’ve moved most of their production offshore. I think for a quality made garment domestic labour costs would account for quite a bit of the final price, look at what Dehen...
I don’t think a repro from the modern Filson or Woolrich would be something anyone on here would be interested in given their move towards lowering costs (for them) and lowering their quality (for us). Sooner Dehen 1920, Old Town, or some of the usual Japanese suspects.
That is the thing that draws me, I can’t seem to get along with side adjusters, damn things always snagging on everything. Regardless, I don’t have a v-shaped torso so their utility would be lost on me.
Might be a little different than the look you’re going for but there are still great deals to be had on NOS Swedish M39 jackets. I paid around $40 CAD for mine, though I also had to buy buttons because the factory back in ‘42 hadn’t gotten around to them yet.
