Back pleat reminds me of a vagina
I think the zippers are too much on the handwarmers. They are definitely 99% of the way there though, and frankly this jacket will fit better and look nicer than most custom made pieces posted here. These “Golden era” repros aren’t doing much for me lately but I do like the looks of it. The price is also too high imo. $1300 and not a penny more. I have no beef with the length or layout. It’s perfect in that regard IMO. It’s a wearable riff on this jacket which was 22” long with 23” sleeves, unwearable by anyone over 5’8”Poor Schott.
TFL: “Another missed opportunity. Why does Schott keep modernizing the jackets with special leathers? They should do a straight repro instead, then we’d buy it.”
Schott: *does a straight repro of a 30s/40s aviator as the new collab, including the box pleat bi-swing*
TFL: “Why does this Schott have exactly the button and zipper layout of the original? They should have modernized it! And the back design is a vagina! What are they thinking?"
(I think the side adjusters complaint is totally valid and I share it; would have seriously considered the jacket otherwise, but the rest...)
Up till now I still think the Schott 613S/618 are the best looking double riders. Copy the 2 models and simply delete the lapel and belt makes a perfect fashion Schott Perfecto.
Check this one, not as bad . I wish it was cow hideThose models without the belt end up just having a ton of empty space. It’s the Instagram influencer fashion to show how tough and manly they are by cutting off the belts/epaulettes on their Perfectos; just ends up looking bad imo.
To go beltless it needs to be a design that‘s build around it like many half-belts and aviators.
